14 DAY TRIAL // Without a doubt, Playboy Magazine has managed to influence the history of the 20'th century in a way no other printed magazine managed to, becoming actually a part of modern and contemporary history, and for this reason, Bondi Digital Publishing has decided to come up with a very interesting offering for the magazine's fans, providing all of its issues in a digital form, available on a single external storage drive.
The Playboy Cover to Cover Hard Drive, as this digital repository has been officially called, stores over 650 issues and more than 100,000 pages covering a span of 56 years.
Moreover, the USB bus-powered portable device allows users to search, view, explore and organize the entire archive of digital editions as they see fit.
And they'll certainly have a lot of content to choose from, given the fact that users will have immediate access to every issue from that first iconic Playboy featuring Marilyn Monroe in December 1953, all the way to the December 2009 edition featuring Chelsea Handler.
The high-performance (probably just USB 2.0, though), aluminum hard drive measures 3” x 5”, easily fits inside a briefcase or jacket pocket and includes 200GBs of extra room to store other documents.
“This is the first time that Playboy, one of the most influential brands on the globe, has offered their entire archive in one place,” said Murat Aktar, co-founder of Bondi Digital Publishing.
“We’re proud to partner with Playboy to bring more than five decades of thought-provoking articles, celebrity interviews and stunning photography to the consumer in a whole new way,” added Mr. Aktar.
Of course, pricing for this huge digital collection is not exactly small, but it's not exaggerated, either, since the Playboy Cover to Cover Hard Drive sells for around $299.95, which is a sum most true Playboy fans (or people who simply want to find out more on the history of the 20'th century) will most likely gladly cough up.
