Gamestop sells porn-packed used MemoryStick
Dallas' NBC 5 News has the story of a Fort Worth mother who bought a "refurbished" PlayStation Portable MemoryStick from Gamestop only to find it filled with pornographic videos and photos. Sandra Hemm bought the stick as a birthday present for her son, whom she described as "pretty devastated" over the discovery. Frankly when we were his age we would have just been thrilled at our luck.A Gamestop spokesman said the company was investigating the incident and that standard procedure is for used cards to be wiped clean before being sold. As a precaution, local reporter Scott Friedman recommends parents try out used MemorySticks for themselves before handing them over to the kids. Or, you know, you could just shell out the extra $5 for a new stick and not worry about it.
Porn found on refurbished Memory Stick, claims horrified mom [Update 1]
Next time you buy a Memory Stick, consider getting it used. Who knows what kind of bonuses you might unlock. Like... well, porn. John, a boy from Fort Worth, Texas, discovered porn on his supposedly formatted Memory Stick, purchased from Gamestop. "Oh my goodness. I just, my stomach turned, you know. I just was sick. I just couldn't believe they had witnessed that," the mom told NBC news reporters.Apparently, the Gamestop corporate office will investigate. However, looking at the slight grin on the kid's face, I'm sure he's not complaining.[Via Joystiq][Update 1: Whoops, wrong news station attributed. Thanks for the catch DiRT--although, you should try avoiding using words you don't understand!]
Kiddie porn trumps video games
British Home Secretary John Reid addressed European Union members this week in Brussels regarding violent video games. He acknowledged that violent games are an issue in the gamut of problems that affect youth, tempering his statement by saying, "But I am also concerned about what more we can do to tackle the most extreme and harmful end of the spectrum. In particular I am concerned about child pornography." Reid said most games do not feature objectionable material and went on to propose numerous ways for the EU to fight child pornography.Reid's statements come following issues in the U.K. and Europe over the survival-horror game Rule of Rose, which features very sinister little girls and is considered by some to be "erotic." The game currently has no publisher in the U.K. Coincidentally, if London audiences want to get their creepy child fix on, 17 year-old Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame will perform Equus in London early next year, which has "a lengthy nude scene during which Strang (Radcliffe) blinds six horses with a spike." So, naked Harry Potter live on-stage stabbing out horses eyes is fine, but fully clothed little girls terrorizing a woman with live rats tied to sticks is too much -- interesting.
My Bare Lady appears on iTunes
Quite often in iTunes, free TV shows appear later rather than earlier in the week. This week is no exception. For every one who has waited with bated breath for the free, premiere episode of My Bare Lady, it has finally arrived. The question on everyone's mind is, of course, can these American Porn Stars achieve critical success in London's West End as stage stars? Well, maybe that's not the question on everyone's mind, but it will do for now. See ya Tuesday for more free goodies. My Bare Lady: Cattle CallThings heat up when four American adult film stars are sent to London's most prestigious theatrical school to prove they can really act. These leading ladies are expected to each star in a classic piece of drama. When the curtain goes up, someone's going down.
Chess pr0n
Lovechess: Age of Egypt is your typical chess game, except for the fact that you sexually pound your enemies into submission. Not since the original Battle Chess has there been a game forcefully thrusting the ancient game into a new light. The board is divided into two sides, boys vs. girls, and as the two forces attempt to dominate each other, the player is greeted to some fornication animation. Sadly, you only get the animations by purchasing the full game, the demo turns off the sweet love -- for the sake of internets children.The concept is cool, but the graphics are a bit blah. Considering the game's main selling point is sex, you'd think they'd have given a large variety of customizable options for different players desires. The men "stand at attention" the entire time, everyone is fully waxed and, although this may not matter to some, what about boy-on-boy or girl-on-girl chess action? It'll certainly be interesting to see what the mod community does with this.
PSP for porn, pedophiles and Nazis... according to FOX
Did you know that your child's PSP can be used to access pornographic images? Did you know this supposed gaming toy is exposing your child to horrifying messages from hate groups? Did you know the PSP can teach your child how to make a bomb? Even worse, did you know that there are old men playing video games, trying to seduce children?Yes, the PSP, a video game machine for kids, is being used for all of these things. The PSP has access to a new phenomenon that many call "the internet." This work of Satan, created by Al Gore, shows how Democrats are trying to brainwash your children into being terrorists. Remember parents, don't buy your kids PSPs... and certainly don't make them use the internet. It's dangerous.[Via Joystiq]
Joystiq corrupts youth with PSP porn -- film at 11
I'm not one to normally watch the local news -- especially during November sweeps -- but after recording my dog's evening news' debut Saturday night (she's the fluffy, white one), TiVo recorded the news again on Sunday night. Just in time to find out about the PlayStation "pornable" (a moniker undoubtedly borrowed from Minneapolis affiliate station, Fox 9) from another local Philadelphia news outlet making specious claims about handheld game systems to get a quick boost in the ratings department. The best part: when they show Google's first result for "psp porn" to be a humble Joystiq post about a pornographer's attempt to bring the online porn world to your PSP ... don't bother, the link in question has ostensibly been dead since June 2005. But what they're talking about is a web browser, not a game system. Type "porn" into Google, sans "PSP" and you're still gonna find porn. A slightly less sensationalistic piece would have discussed the prevalence of web browsers in various devices; or shown parents how to actually, y'know, use the PSP's parental controls to restrict access.Nope. Instead they rode porn, terrorism, hate groups, pedophilia, sexual predation, and other "pathways to trouble" all the way to ratings heaven. "Eye-opening" clip embedded after the break.
Killer 7 box points to porn site
Who reads the back of the box? Well, someone has. That someone is Baron, a NeoGAF poster who reports that his GameCube Killer 7 box clearly displays the address: www.killer7.com (pictured). This is a porn site. Oops ... typo?Note: one poster reports that his PAL box displays "www.killer-7.com," which is the appropriate address for Capcom's game.
Read comic books on your Nintendo DS
Joystiq's sister site DS Fanboy recently posted about a homebrew effort called Comic Book DS that lets you transfer comics from your computer and read them book-style with the DS flipped on end. You don't have to conceal issues of Action Comics underneath an old copy of Newsweek that you swiped off your dentist's waiting table on your commute any longer. Now people will think you're doing some serious work on your stylish PDA while you secretly use the touchscreen to pan and zoom on comic panels -- pure genius. Comic book fanboys can rid themselves of their secret shame.If you're wondering when pr0n will start appearing on your DS so it can catch up to the PSP, you either have to wait for the browser -- available only in Japan, or else check out the ... educational effort from Ubisoft's Heather Kelley. Will that thing support multiplayer?What are some real-life things you'd like to see migrate to your DS? Personally, we'd love a Checkbook Lite program to keep track of our finances, since the DS is so checkbook-ish looking already. Maybe even turn it into an RPG so we could level-up our savings. If someone made balancing finances fun, more people might actually do it. Final Fantasy XXXIV: Tax Time, here we come.[Thanks AF]
Optional filter blocks porn from DS Opera browser [Update 1]
We felt a great disturbance in the Force here at the DS Fanboy offices, as if millions of preteen boys cried out in frustration and were suddenly silenced ... in Japan, at least. Digital Arts, Inc., a Japanese security firm piggy-backed their optional DS content-filtering service onto the release of the Opera DS browser in Japan. The service, called i-Filter (because i equals cool, right?), will block pornographic or other "undesirable" content for a monthly fee of 315 yen (less than three dollars American). What is "undesirable" content, exactly? Good question. But Digital Arts promises that their employees personally check which sites to blacklist in order to avoid the blocking of non-offensive sites. Now that's a job to brag about at parties!"I'm a stockbroker. I have a yacht. And what do you do?""Me? Oh, I get paid to surf the internet for offensive content."That's a win every time. But it probably comes with long hours, considering .... [Update 1: Clarification issues!]

Whale watching in 1080i
Blah blah blah, high definition makes everything better, blah blah blah. Don't you ever just get tired of reading and talking about how great HD is, and how so many things are captured and broadcast better because of high-def equipment? Nope, we don't either. Today its whale watchers off the coast of Hawaii, who are getting better footage than ever before thanks to their Sony HVR-Z1U camera. Not only relatively small and cheap for the quality, researchers are able to record the whales from further away, and more accurately count, identify and observe their behavior due to the additional clarity. They hope the new technology will enable the first ever shots of humpback whales mating and giving birth. No word on when this hot whale pr0n will make it into one of those documentaries you'll have seen 100 times on Discovery and still watch just because its in HD.Read [NYT free registration required]

Fox "investigates" PSP porn [update 1]
Are you a parent concerned that your child may have easy access to communist and pornographic materials? If so, you may be shocked, devastated and appalled to learn that your innocent children "are using a gaming device to access porn out of thin air." The PSP, which is a short for PlayStation "pornable", is a portable game console that has the capability of "magically displaying images of naked women." Yeah, that's right. Fox 9, a local news affiliate of Fox News, the world standard for balanced and fair reporting, has revealed that the PSP is entirely capable of displaying images and therefore porn. As a result, Sony and the PSP are entirely to blame if your kid sticks pictures of naked ladies onto the device. Bleurgh.This article has it all: a sensational headline, wildly outlandish claims and a healthy dose of out-of-context quotes from family institutes. What's next? The Nintendo DS steals your precious bodily fluids? Xbox 360 responsible for failure to find WMDs? Playing too much Halo lowers exam results? Wait... that last one's true.[Via Game|Life] [Update: Fox 9 is a local news affiliate of Fox News, not a purely investigative news channel.]
Cambodia bans 3G phones for fear of porn
Note to self: don't send MMS porn to heads of state or their spouses. Not ever. Unfortunately for tech-savvy Cambodians, someone already ruined their fun when Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife and her friends complained that their phones were suddenly rife with the XXX stuff. Never one to put technology before morality, the Southeast Asian nation swiftly banned its freshly-launched 3G network, because "We can wait 10 more years until we have managed to improve morality in society," so sez the boss. Yikes! If being forced into 1xRTT and EDGE purgatory for the next 10 years isn't a good reason to overthrow the government, we don't know what is.
Porn in HD: The IPTV killer app?
Now, it's not that our ears perk up every time someone mentions adult entertainment in high definition, oh wait, yeah they do. That said, Wired recently had an interesting piece on a company that is delivering streaming HD over your high speed internet link (it'll still take about two hours to download a movie at high def resolutions).The most interesting part of the article (yeah right) focuses on how such systems bypass the whole Blu-ray/HD-DVD squabble in getting content directly to your HDTV with no middleman. The imediasee platform they are using is intended for use with PC's and compatible set top boxes, and their content is already formatted for viewing on televisions. If digital delivery takes off, it may not matter what DVD format content providers choose, only how much hard drive space do you have.
What really drives new tech Pt. 2: Digital Playgrounds picks Blu-ray
Like we said before, all new tech is driven by one thing, and at least one of those companies has chosen Blu-ray as their sole format of the future. Digital Playgrounds has been at the forefront of adopting their adult content for high definition, with their recent release "Pirates" available both on DVD and WMV-HD format. They cited the Playstation 3 and tighter DRM as their reasons for opting to release only on the Blu-ray format.It certainly seems like good logic, the PS3 launch should provide Sony with an incredibly installed base pretty quickly, and tighter DRM despite our views as consumers is generally a favorite for content providers.
