New PlayStation Store to Include Mature Content?

A Sony Computer Entertainment contact for BitBag seems to have revealed some more on the upcoming PlayStation Store redesign. Since it's nothing official, we will smack the rumor label on this.

First off, the new store design is going to have a much better categorization system, letting you sort the items on each page by name, most downloads, date added, and category.

Second off, newer download types are going to be added to the PlayStation Store, meaning you'll be able to download full-length movies.

Now, lastly, there is going to be a mature section on the new store. The mature section features M-Rated games along with adult movies and such. To access the store, you'll need to go to the sign-up page, and verify your age. Then in 3-4 days, you'll receive a message on the PlayStation 3 from Sony, allowing you to access the content.

Adult movies as in Rated R or as in porn? lol

This is still a "family" system so I'm sure they mean content like R-rated films and M to AO rated games.

You can forget about porn. Sony had a hard enough time allowing the porn industry to produce Blu-ray. No way they'll put pornographic content on the site. Besides, if it's just a matter of age verification then it's way too easy to bypass that (just use any day and month and make sure the year is before 1980).

Sony doesn't want a Hot Coffee scandal where a minor gets access to porn through the site. Xbox Live recently had a problem with a similar situation.

Still, good to know the Store is getting more content.
