Well, you can finally throw out that trunk in your grandfather's garage. Hugh Heffner's legacy has taken a cue from
National Geographic -- in an arguably non-horrifying way -- and partnered with publisher Bondi Digital to release a (presumably
Seagate-branded) 250GB external hard drive packed with every issue of
Playboy released since 1953. Its $300 asking price is roughly four times what you'd pay for a fresh G-rated 250GB drive today, but compared to a 57-year subscription, the digital vault is certainly a bargain. In contrast to their trail blazin' efforts with the
iBod though, thanks to the prominent placement of the brand's iconic bow tie-wearing bunny and name, there's no chance of using this device for practical tasks such as backing up TPS reports at the office. Like the decision to
phase out DVDs in favor of VOD however, the move does prove the magazine isn't afraid of staying abreast of today's content consumption trends. Next stop,
Nook Color?
