While we are all busy discussing what features of the PSP need to be removed and the firmware updates to activate PSP-PS3 remote play, the outside world is still hooked talking about the dangers of gaming specifically its relationship to pornography. Sony's electronic device made news last November 9 as it was the main topic of a Fox News Channel's investigatory segment.

According to the report, the PSP is not a tool for pornography in itself but it definitely provides access to it through its Wi-Fi capabilities. There was then a mention of a school boy who got in trouble in school. Reportedly, the poor boy showed his classmates and friends that his PSP is not limited to just racing and playing football, but can display nude pictures of women as well.

Given this, the authorities still think that it is a minor concern. Aside from issues of hatred and violence, the greatest danger lies when child predators pose as other gamers. The 'net, as we all know, can not very well filter and ascertain the identities of people who go online.

This definitely will result to adverse affects to gaming as our elders will again view it as harmful and dangerous. It is a consolation to note that the report, which can be viewed below, was written fairly and objectively. It even ended in a rather disappointed-but-we-can-do-something-about-it manner with the statement: "Gaming should be fun and entertaining. It shouldn't be a pass way to trouble."

its funny that religious fanatics ridicule porn when they themselves are doing it, and if they are not we know what the priest is doing with his kids.

 » wtf

you have FAITH... you BELIEVE you are going to heaven... no offence to ANYONE, but that is just an EXCUSE ... HOW THE HECK do you know god exist? because a bible(which was wrote A LONG LONG TIME AGO by someone... what if they are LYING... back in the day, they do anything for power! lets say this dude decides to write a bible and make himself the pope, what REAL evidence you have to prove bible is LEGIT?? you have FAITH)tells you it does?

America is a land of freedom, you guys are making it into a Christian land, we all have freedom of speech, and as time goes on, I don't think you people here will be dumb like your parents and have stupid views on pornography.

Tell me this, you give some little kid porn(I know you wouldnt, but lets pretend) and what would they do with it? they'd drop it and grab the little toy car. It's only natural for kids who hit puberty already to be horny, but based on traditions, they are bad. Now lets just leave it alone, so what? nearly every kid had seen porn somewhere, dont be SO strict on it! how long do kids have to keep looking at porn? not long if hes mostly at school or monitored by parents.

Darwinism, the fittest survive. If people watch porn, and they end up a bad person, then they won't survive and deserves it(well maybe they could because of how good we treat people who don't work and just want the government to pay for all the bills), and if they don't end up a bad person, than is fine. There are better people than others, nobody is equal in their ability to do things, if they fell corrupt when they read porn, than they don't deserve to live on and pass the bad genes, if they grow up perfectly fine even though they looked at porns, then fine, let them live.

As stated above "high powered computer" HA. For something so small yes it is rather nice and robust. What about cell phones that have internet capability? Chatting with friends, browsing the web, hell even making phone calls to/from predators!!!!! LET'S BAN CELL PHONES!!! Not to mention the regular PC, DVDs, movie theaters, video rental stores, TV, and countless other places nudity and other forms of "controversial" entertainment are available with ease.

 » Lolz

What is really funny is that they spend the rest of the report using a pc for the hate sites and pedophile chating 'cause they didnt have patience to wait for the "Nazi site " to load and even less patience to chat using the PsP keyboard less chat.

Because since when the PSP is able to chat or runing Runescape.We are only able to check Playstation.com,some game sites and yahoo images,because anything else consumes Flash Memory which thanks to custom 2.71 and the 2.80,282 PSP barely has.


What is really insultating is that they didnt find a good note to blame the PSP for,they just mixed with the internet note.

Also they didnt mention the parental control because that would make the whole story pointless.

Next on Fox News:

Nintendo games support Terrorist and Pedophiles.Lmao

 » fox news = nazi's

duuuuude......most of the bull***** they put up is ignorant...all of the websites were viewed thru the pc not the psp....notice all the ways they try to incriminate children playing games....there's a hidden agenda to try and get parents to sustain a more traditional hold on their children, and to ban anything that keeps children away from the bible, "morals", and whatnot...the psp is detected as a tool for pornagraphy, but they make it seem much worse by associating the mention of playstation "pornable" with nazi's and hate crime websites, when in reality, the chance of a child too stupid to know how to use the web browser will rather act cool, showing off plain ass websites like frickin myspace and yes maybe naked women (in an attempt to seem mature and cool), but to blow it up into something seriously dangerous is ignorant as all hell.....ok a child saw a naked woman, oOOo, how many times have advertisements capitalized on sexuality to sell their products to children (bratz dolls a good example)....fox wants to be seen as a trustworthy news source, and to be depicted in that light they mesh together things that are morally, and socially unacceptable, with things close to children, to seem like *****ing heroes for pointing that hazard out....fox news is one of THE most bias news sources complete with logical fallacies within their reporting....and whoever wrote the summary for this video should be shot should learn about true journalism, cause this was in no way "fair" or "objective"....f-u-c-k fox news.....

 » ***** FOX news

First of all I say FOX news are are bunch of biggets. They can all suck my democratic CoQ. They are all a bunch of morons. They don't even know that a PSP comes with a manual. Yes Fox news. A manual. WOOOOW. Amazing huh ?!?! In this manual you can read up and set security controls on the PSP for young 10 year olds who are probably having sex by now anyway. Porn being downloaded automatically to your PSP is a *****in lie. My PSP's Signal can be at 100% and still be erroneous and the PSP coding is so weak we can't even use flash. Please give us all a break and leave the video gaming world alone. We sit and home have a beer/soda and pizza and play video games. WTF is wrong with a little porno anyway. Most of the women now a days are lesbians anyway. Most of us need to resort to our hands from time to time until we get "lucky". If your married I bet you still use your hands anyway because ol' Mary J Rotten Crotch just isn't cutting it anymore. =)

All in all. If you really wanna rid the world of scumm bags and sexual content. Get rid of MTV. Plain and simple. You have little girls thinking they are women and they get raped by predators. Who's fault is it ? The parents and the TV networks for putting these ideas into their heads that they can dress slutty sexy and act how ever they want to act.

MTV sucks... they don't even show Jackass anymore.. I say woman is turning into monsters... if you darn republicans are so friggin conservative... go tell your slutty daughter and b***hy wives to change the way they act... seems like the society hates little boys but let girls do anything... girls naturally aren't fit for some crap they want to do... and guys are the same way, you can't compare girl's athletic ability to guys... guys are genetically fit, but you can't make guys do things girls are special at... stay at your own meant place.. stop trying to cross the line and become someone you should'nt be just so your "Revolutionary" or "Special", nobody admires woman like that... I'm fine with woman doing things man do.. but sometime it seems like your doing it JUST for the purpose of proving yourself as good as man... wtf.. everyone is good.. woman CAN be man dosen't make woman good, it make them .... manly, which is a big turnoff.

screw you people who just does things to make yourself popular, weak minded adults and kids... get a life

 » Cable news sucks

Both liberal and conservative cable news outlets, CNN and Fox, blow but Fox has reporters that act like bigger dumbasses than other news channels. NPR pwns them all. NPR may be extreme left-wing commie public radio news but it still beats the hell out of anything on my basic cable.

Sometimes I hate greedy corporations like Sony but I constantly hate social conservative f***tards.

Yeah the this is bs. The internet is where the porn comes from and you can put porn on anything. You can put it on a iPOD, you can burn it to a DVD disc (movie format) and play it on your PS2, Xbox, Xbox360, PS3, DVD player, computer, and so on. This is bogus that the PSP leads to people looking at porn - they would look at it without the PSP. What some idiots. I mean come on - bunch of pos. I wish we could get on the news and tell people whats up or rebuttal this *****.
