On September 14, 2004, Playboy Home Entertainment will release 50 Years of Playmates Collectors Edition, a two-disc DVD set that examines the complete Playboy Enterprise, an organization begun from humble roots in 26-year old Hugh Hefners basement that has since grown into a globe-spanning multimedia empire.
