I can't believe this is the kind of world we live in now. Un-fucking-believable.

Sony is getting close, if not already, to the expectations from that of Microsoft (well, when it comes to Windows anyway).

I was playing Little Big Planet today at Gaming Invasion here in Toronto. I love the world, and I love the non-violent nature of the game. Very pretty. Several of my friends are now considering getting PS3s because of it.

So... videogames can't have background music with subtle, unidentifiable references to the Quran?

Well I understand Sony, they're a multi-billion company, if they would get boycotted in muslim countries it would be really bad for them. Money talks and all that.

That's what I forgot to do today. I forgot to switch on my telepathic abilities.

It was in your link.

I have a reminder for that set on my phone.

Yup, it was. Here's another link, where the poster does not specify which alleged whining (mine, or the original post on the SCE forums) he finds amusing enough to warrant a

Back on topic: should Christians now be upset that Sony didn't edit the Manchester Cathedral out of Resistance 1? Either way, there are good odds that Sony's tentpole Christmas '09 release will offend the last of the big three religions: Judaism
