Because the digital titillation of Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball just isn't enough for some people, a California company is at work on a console designed specifically for "Adults Only" content.
According to Siliconera, Silicon Xtal Inc., a company most widely known for its component and circuit manufacturing prowess, has officially registered the not so subtle "Sex Box" name, with a description that will put all claims of chastity to rest:
A video gaming system console comprised of computer hardware with unique user controls which plays interactive Adult Only rated (AO) video game software titles, and has proprietary software and firmware that provides access to associated AO content and entertainment in all other digital forms.
In case your grasp of acronyms temporarily locked up while your brain tried to process the pun in this post's header, "AO content" pretty much pertains exclusively to pornography. Due to the endlessly debated moral double standard that sees hardcore violence as perfectly fine for our young ones, while the slightest hint of a nipple might drive them to rape and murder like tiny Vikings, only the most horrific scenes of torture and mutilation could ever hope to acquire the AO rating, while a few seconds of naked snuggling will earn the brand faster than you can say "Larry Flynt was right!"
Stores, particularly megachain Wal*Mart, widely refuse to sell AO-rated games, and as a result console manufacturers almost never allow such games to appear on their machines.
Given the ridiculously huge pornography market both in America and around the world (the porno industry is estimated to hit $3.3 billion by 2011, and that's just in naughty cell phone pictures), it seems like a no-brainer to create something like this.
I'm also wondering exactly how much Silicon Xtal Inc. plans to charge for this Sex Box. Gamers are nothing if not technically savvy and when given the choice between spending money on a porn console or surfing the net for the 4 seconds necessary to find reams of free naked ladies and dudes going at it like bunnies on meth, I have to ask: How much would you pay for a Sex Box?
Bugger all. But then, that's because I have access to womens, and I don't have to pay for them either (well, except for gifts/dinners and the like. Totally worth it though.)
Interesting, I wonder what 'motion controls' it will use, I expect some amazing 'force feedback'. Okay, enough with the puns.
Now I'm imagining the AR suite in Red Dwarf with the force feedback cod piece. In fact add 3d headset googles with full rotation and augmented reality and I reckon that you wouldn't only have a winner on your hands, you might well cease the procreation of humankind.
Macgyvercas: And my faith in humanity dies yet again. That's 5 times in the past month. (I really to stop raising it from the dead and just let it rot).
On topic, I'm positive the company will charge as much as they think they can get away with, but I don't think it will be more than $249.99 tops.
Why has your faith in humanity died from this? I mean did you feel the same when you first saw an adult toy? Really, there's no difference. It doesn't hurt anyone unlike the violence that we see and hear about every single day.
Sex is a basic instinct in all humans. This is just personal indulgence in solo and possibly group acts derived from new developments in technology. Governments have always legislated on this base instinct which we all owe our existence to. If it doesn't cause harm I can't see the problem.
The five or six of you fuckers that replied with scorn are exactly the reason we haven't had one of these yet. The public at large are fucking morons that aren't capable of handling the concept of an AO console without being massive dicks about it.

I guess that means an USB Mouse&Keyboard and Internet Explorer.

Why would you need an sex console when you have a PC with an internet connection? It's not because people can't handle it it's because it's entirely unnecessary, like marketing a DVD Rewinder.

By that same logic, why have video game consoles at all since it has in fact been proven that you CAN play the bloody things on a PC with an internet connection XD

Well there are some console exclusives (some) and the crappy ports like the initial Resi 4 port which didn't have mouse support (though that was apparently patched and fixed) or Gears of War which took an an entire year, give or take a week, to come out.
On the other hand, a number of pr0n games - most of which are Japanese admittedly - are available for the PC.

And then there's just, well, porn in general.
The complete thought was more along the lines of "Why even make a sexbox when we have computers for it? Than why make video game consoles at all since PC's could already do that?"
Nintendo made a video game console because they saw a market for it. Sony made the playstation because they saw a market for it. Microsoft made the xbox because they saw a market for it. These guys wouldn't be making a porn console if they didn't see a market for it. I'd be surprised if this actually IS as big a failure as the lot of you are making it out to be.
In case your grasp of anagrams temporarily locked up while your brain tried to process the pun in this post's header, "AO content" pretty much pertains exclusively to pornography.

A dvd rewinder! Where can I get one of these?
Anyway, meh... it was inevitable that one of these would come out ever since someone jokingly said "Sexbox" to mock someone's xbox I swear though, sales in trench coats will be up so people can prepare to purchase this console

The internet is a wonderful thing for discreet purchases.

Okay, I see where you're coming from. People obviously still pay money for porn (which is why there's still an industry for it) so it might not be a complete flop, but unless they do something super special awesome with the peripherals and games, I think most people would be hard (hurr hurr hurr) pressed to shell out the money it'd cost to purchase one of these incredible sex boxes.

anagrams
AO Content = Tone To Cane?
This whole article is more or less filler; the title says it all. Except for the case of mistaken word identity (that I blew up to large proportions) and who exactly is doing such a thing.
The funny thing is, me and my friends call our Xbox's sexboxs( I never actually knew why, I'd like to think it was a joke at the sterotypes that nerds never get girls). Now, it seems we wont be able to without sounding like a creepy pervert.
Anyway, I wouldnt pay anything for a 'Sexbox'. Judging by the quality of porn, it'll be terrible.
