Wait, you can stream porn on the PS3? I honestly did not know this. :s

I have a laptop and a browser so no real need, but I never saw it once advertised on the PS3, and I visit the movies section a decent amount.

I think it also helped VHS win the VHS/Betamax war.

Funnily enough, I heard that theory back when HD-DVD was around: http://www.macworld....627/pornhd.html - http://www.destructo...ver-65110.phtml

This is true, it did help VHS win the war. However, the concept of the pornography industry helping to win a format war is an incredibly archaic one. You see, these days, a lot of pornography is freely available on the internet. Back in the VHS days, the only ways to get pornography was either via magazines, PPV or - you guessed it - video tapes. Seen as magazines didn't offer a great deal of variety, and PPV was too expensive (and out of the reach of a significant number of people), video tapes were the easiest method. However, today, the easiest and cheapest method, by far, is via streaming websites. Ergo, paid pornography content isn't really a great USP anymore, even if its exclusive content.

In actual fact, there won't really be much of a format war when it comes to the next generation of consoles. In this day and age, the overwhelmingly preferred methods of consuming content is via Blu-Ray, or third party streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu or NowTV. While Microsoft is getting into the original programming business, which may possibly ignite a format war, I genuinely don't see it being a massive USP right now, more of a "oh, cool, we get this too" sort of thing.

Assimilated? It's a trek spinoff?

The PS2 or whatever had the vibrator attachment, that was supposed to be for "music" games...

I'm not sure how it works but I wouldn't think they would advertise them right out in the open, what with consoles being mostly for kids.

Shut up and take my money.

It was for Rez.

Rez HD on the 360 just uses an extra controller for the same effect.

I'd bet its through the web browser, so these announcements are meaningless.

Nope. There's an app for that.

And looking on the SugarDVD website, it works for the 360 and WiiU already as well.

Well now I have a reason to consider an xbox :p

Not news - a few Internet porn sites cater to the current PS3 crowd (and I am referring to North America-based sites). Back in the days of the old WebTV, some porn sites catered to THAT.

Horsepuckey - consoles are family-entertainment systems nowadays, given their price tags. And that was, in fact, particularly true of the PS3, which had the highest SRP of the current generation - even without Move.

Didn't you catch the post I made (earlier in this very thread, in fact) referring to a poll of PS3 owners (commissioned by Sony itself) that shows that gaming isn't even the primary use for over half the PS3 owners in North America?

In fact, look at the ads for the PS3 (as opposed to PS3 game ads) - print, TV, Internet, what-have-you. Gaming is mentioned down the list - so far down the list, it's practically foot-in-door material. Those ads have changed very little since the launch (at least in North America). In fact, Sony actually emphasized that the Slim was still just as capable of all those non-gaming things as the bigger older brother in the ads at the Slim's launch (again, in North America). While gaming may still be a big thing, it hasn't been the biggest thing even for Sony since the PS3 launched. Even Microsoft emphasized gaming with the XB360 more than Sony has with the PS3. So that means that media (including porn) is a major factor for at the very least the PS3 owners.

I don't see a format war - and especially not over porn. Porn (even in terms of the PS3) ties in more with the media-center capabilities (which both PS3 and XB360 have had from the beginning, though, strangely enough, Sony has advertised those capabilities more than Microsoft has). If both consoles support DLNA (highly likely) a format war won't have a chance to even start. Why is DLNA important? DLNA is becoming pervasive in household networks - everywhere from computers to routers to media extenders (which is why I bought up not only XB ONE, but both XB360 and PS3). If you buy a router (mainstream or better) DLNA is a given - I bought a Netgear WNDR3700v4 (a pretty typical mainstream router of today) - and DLNA support is a given. (The same is true of the router's competition in that same price range - all of it.) Windows 8 (like Windows 7) supports DLNA - as does every *smart TV* available today. DLNA and media-center extenders is also a given - whether the box runs Windows or not. Porn isn't the issue - DLNA support, however, is.

It runs like netflix.

Or DLNA - which is an open standard (and supported by consoles and operating systems already - including XB360 and Windows. not to mention PS3, Linux, etc.).

The surprise would have been XB ONE *not* supporting DLNA.

...remember when consoles were aimed at gamers?

Remember when Nintendo used to make family board games?

Things change, it will not degrade the gaming experience to add multimedia features, its just a special custom build PC, it has the power to do so, why not use it.

Or you rather have an array of devices, separate dvd player, separate Blu-ray player, a PS3/XB, a tv tuner, computer etc. While you can easily combine this into 1 device.

We got a bunch of tips about this, the service is accessible via a web browser, not a native app. This is like saying hardcore porn is coming to your laptop because you can browse to their website.

Oh, you're right it is. Although the Roku version has it's own channel. *shrug*

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
