Don't Tell My Wife I Ass****ed The Babysitte

Assisted ?

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

Assassinated? It's a console game?

[webeagle12]

I hope you can connect 3rd party joysticks to next XBOX

Assimilated? It's a trek spinoff?

[Growled Member]

I bet this will make many a 13 year old boy who lied about their age very happy.

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

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

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.

The dude who's girlfriend has been using the PS3 dildo won't be happy.

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.

[soniqstylz]

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.

http://www.escapistm...-Blasts-the-PS3

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

[Torolol]

so it left Apple that still bann porn apps/games/softwares/programs/subscriptions/streams on their devices.

[spaceelf]

Nope. There's an app for that.

'With no discs or downloads' doesn't really go with what you're saying.

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.

[PGHammer]

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.

YESSS!

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.

'With no discs or downloads' doesn't really go with what you're saying.

It runs like netflix.

[PGHammer]

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 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*
