PSP and Playboy - A Heady Combination

We’ve been worried about the PSP. It didn’t have the blow-out sold-out sales record everyone expected, but it has turned into an underground hit. But today, using the trusty porn theory of technology success, there may be hope for the platform. (The theory is that if there is a porn angle, the technology takes off. (Think VCR, DVD, telephone, Internet, etc.)

“Playboy obviously feels that PSP owners are sex-obsessed geeks who like to look at picture of naked laydees (and who are we to argue) as they are about to offer nude and non-nude galleries specially formatted for Sony’s portable console. According to CNNMoney, John. D. Thomas, editor of Playboy.com said, “We know that many Playboy fans are also gaming enthusiasts who are likely to buy this type of device, so it was a natural progression for us to design this.” SonyPSP review

You have to join Playboy’s Cyberclub to view the galleries.

Seriously,…Uh…I thought this was a gaming handheld?
