Sony Is Looking for Revenue in Interesting Places
September 12, 2009
I don’t know if this story in Kotaku is accurate. I found it odd and somewhat disturbing. I don’t care much about Sony after buying one of their cameras that used a proprietary driver to create a mini CD. Never worked. Good bye, Sony. But Google has a bit of a crush on Sony, so I am using my Overflight service to watch the former Japanese superstar in the intramural leagues. What did I spy? “Adult Films Push For Presence on Gaming Consoles.” The most interesting comment in the write up was:
“Our point is pretty simple,” Hirsch [X rated content executive] told Kotaku. “As long as age verification is in place that (Sony) feels comfortable with we see no reason why adults shouldn’t be allowed to access adult movies on the Playstation 3.”
I do not want to think about the implications for books on Sony’s new line of eBook readers. I don’t know much about the PSP, but it sounds like something kids would use. I suppose desperation leads to a certain ingenuity.
