Playboy coming to a PSP near you

PSP gets down and dirty

Those cheeky chaps over at Playboy have announced that you will soon be able to get the Playboy bunnies on your handheld gaming console.

The top shelf magazine will offer PSP users a selection of girls in skimpy bikinis or the nude and images will be specially formatted for viewing on the PSP's tiny screen.

30 bikini photos and a short video will be available for free on Playboy.com while the XXX nude photos are only available to the site's Cyber Club subscribers which of course is a paid for service.

"Gaming and the Internet go hand in hand, so shooting sexy, action-themed pictorials and video for the coolest piece of portable gaming technology out there was a no-brainer," said Playboy.com's managing photo editor Chad Doering. "We took advantage of the PSP's 16:9 widescreen ratio and developed our own video game action heroine the way only Playboy can do it. Our Cyber Girl of the Year proved that she not only looks great playing in the sand and surf but can kick ass and take phone numbers later."

Last December, Playboy.com launched "iBod" a service that allowed users to download customized Playboy photo galleries to their iPod Photo device.
