Steven Hirsch, founder of the world's biggest porn film distributor, Vivid Entertainment, has called on Sony to provide HD pornography on the PlayStation Network, declaring that the PS3 has "real potential" as a conduit through which wank material can pour into the homes of lonely young men. He's got a point.
"We hope that Sony will allow adult movies to be downloaded worldwide," claims Hirsch. "It's too early to say to what extent this could help our business, but it certainly has real potential.
"As long as proper age verification is in place there is no reason why consumers should not be allowed to view adult movies on any device that they desire."
The Japanese PSN already allows for this, but Western PS3s have so far had to go without their share of hi-def filth. Unfortunately, while it could be a good business decision in theory, the PR nightmare that would follow such a move just isn't worth it. The reason why porn won't be allowed on the PSN worldwide is because the first time someone from FOX News hears about it, there will be a sh*tstorm.
There are few markets more open to the idea of delicious porn than gamers, but it's just not something that could be linked to videogames in America or Britain. Not while our society is too immature to discuss porn or gaming without flipping out and whipping people up into a misguided moral outrage.

They already get enough shit from the fact that you can DOWNLOAD and play porn on PS3s and PSP. If Sony provided a means of distribution for it, there would be boycotts and Fox News coverage 24/7.
That's exactly what they said about the legalization of marijuana in Colorado. Now, I can buy chronic at any one of the many dispensaries in the Denver/Metro area with my handy little license.
Get out of here, addicted SCUM!
Anyway, the THINK OF THE CHILDREN!! moral guardians will never let this happen, or rather, won't allow it to continue should it happen. Though parental controls could be a workaround (what if the system locks M-rated games? Should it then block M-rated ads?), but I can't say a word on it being effective or not.
It would be nice to have some form of movie download/rental service available on the PS3... and if we had porn, then finally we'd have something the Americans might get all jealous about! :)
Porn on the PS3, I support it.
But, there are some dispensiaries that open up shop next to doctors who are fairly lax on dispensing said license. It's the whole "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" kinda deal. A license will run you about $80.
I'm good.
And lulz japens are pornzy.
Are you sure it's safe? I used to use RedTube, then my PC started to crap out, then I moved to PornHub, it was all fap and games for some months, then myPC started to get slow and buggy; I'm currently wanking off to still images from 4chan, since there is safe, but without the bad acting and ridiculous screams it's just not the same, are you sure that site is safe? No pop-ups or slow-ass PCs?
Also, I normally last around 2 hours, sucker!
This is win-win.
But really, you might as well just pay 30 bucks for 1 month on some pay-site you like. Then just download every video you see and save them to dvds or a spare hard drive.
Cancel the subscription and you just got an amazing deal when you think about it. 30 dollars for years of videos
B) Isn't this what the PS3 web browser is for?
I tried Avast, AVG and Norton, but the porn stills wins over...
...I..am not surprised.
but i already view porn.

streaming.
redtube.

It's stupid to pay for it imo.
