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?
