PSP pornography is 'utterly undesirable'

PSP News | So says Sony.
With the launch of the very first pornographic movies on the PSP's UMD video format imminent, Sony have spoken out on the subject to the Japanese press, denouncing the releases as 'utterly undesirable'. Yet despite their decidedly dim view on the arrival of PSP porn, the Japanese giant is unable to prevent the discs from being released, as the firm can only monitor the content of games - from a legal standpoint, Sony have very little control over the content of films released on the new UMD format.

Still, that hasn't stopped them having a good moan (snigger) about it. And in an article printed in Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, a representative of Sony Computer Entertainment was quick to register the company's distaste at the news that Japan-based adult publishers HMP and Glay'z would be releasing the likes of (and we promise we're not making these up) High Grade Class First Soap Lady - Anna Kaneshiro, The Nurse of a Big Breast and Erotic Terrorist Beautiful Body. Righty ho then.

Still, some forums are abuzz with theories on Sony's po-faced anti-porn stance, with some suggesting that the firm could well be quite happy with the fact that such content will be finding it's way to the PSPs of horny Japanese teenage boys. After all, it's long been argued that one of the factors behind Sony's Betamax video format being killed off was the company's refusal to allow Betamax pornography, whilst the rival VHS format permitted such content. Anyway, perhaps that's another debate. For now, you probably shouldn't expect a review soon. We're a family site, after all.

The Beta-Max/VHS porn issue was mentioned in the West Australian today too... i'd never thought about that before... (or rather, i didn't know that was the case)

it's funny since Beta was superior in every way to VHS technically

So is this a win or a loss for moral decency?
I mean, the material is being denounced, but it's still going to happen...

Don't worry, I won't bore you all with my long-winded opinion of all of this again...
