They are largely made up of music-video -style vignettes featuring Playboy Playmates and other models in various stages of nudity and, on occasion, softcore sex scenes.

Twelve issues were released in this series, from January 1983 to 1987.

Issues contained content similar to the magazine; in addition to video pictorials of the Playmates, celebrities, and other models, segments on music, interviews with celebrities, comedy sketches, and other material was included (the format being similar to Electric Blue, a video magazine out of the UK that aired on the Playboy Channel ).

Total running time of an issue is longer than other Playboy videos (80 to 90 minutes versus 35 to 60 minutes), but with a similar total amount of running time devoted to model pictorials.

Other segments in the first issue are an interview with John and Bo Derek, an erotic fiction short, a documentary look at historic moments in Playboy, a pictorial of actress Barbara Carrera, a look at the Playboy Jazz Festival, comedy shorts from Michael Nesmith, and a pictorial of the Crazy Horse Saloon dancers.

This series focused on the Playmates themselves and did not try to imitate the content of the magazine.

Although the months assigned to the Playmates in the videos are not the same as the months in which they appear in the magazine, nearly all Playmates from 1987 on have appeared in a Playmate video calendar.

Playmates of the year have also appeared in a special video profile dedicated just to themselves.

Now for your home viewing pleasure, Playboy continues this tradition, as the playmates come alive in this edition of the (year) Playmate video calendar.

These usually consist of three or four vignettes reflecting the personality and persona of the Playmate and an interview is also conducted at the same time to serve as in introduction to her viewers.

Two of the vignettes are then chosen to be included as part of her video Playmate profile.

The very first Playmate to appear in a playmate video calendar was Cherie Witter, Miss January 1987 (having been Miss February 1985 in the magazine).

Releases are around one hour long, with 45 minutes devoted to the primary Playmate, and 15 to the secondary feature.

Playmate of the Year (PMOY) (launched in 1987 with a volume on Donna Edmondson ) and Anniversary Playmate videos (begun in 1989 with 35th Anniversary Playmate Fawna Maclaren ) are subsets of the Video Centerfold series, focusing on prominent Playmates.

While standard and anniversary Video Centerfold releases have dwindled since the height of their popularity in the early 1990s, the PMOY series continues.

The title for a standard Video Centerfold is Playboy Video Centerfold.

Early releases include Playmates such as Deborah Driggs and Karen Foster, with a short entitled Women in Russia.

At the same time as the PMOY photo shoot, a video is filmed to commemorate the occasion, and released as Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate of the Year.

The scenes in the video are filmed in the same style as the calendar profiles and include interviews not only with the Playmate herself but also sometimes her family and the photographers who shot the pictorials.

Playmates Volume 2 was released February 11, 1996.

For the 35th, 40th, 45th, and 50th anniversaries, the Anniversary Playmate videos have respectively featured Fawna Maclaren, Anna-Marie Goddard, Jaime Bergman, and Colleen Shannon.

No videos were released prior to the 35th anniversary (25th and 30th anniversary Playmates were instead featured in Playboy Video Magazine releases) and the 55th anniversary Playmate, Dasha Astafieva, has yet to be featured.
