Now back to the topic.

I think It's really stupid people protest for violent game. Nobody forcing your kid to play a game. If you don't want your kids to play violent game, Just Don't buy them. As simple as that. But the issue here with Sony and England church is different. Church is saying that sony didn't take permission to use the church in the game where as sony is saying they already took the necessary permission... If they did then they should come up with the documentation.. Never the less its a good strategic move by Sony.

@nightmare , cant u use a decent avatar like most other people on this forum have. Avatar is what represents you by an image and I am sure U are not that ugly , are you ?? If yes , use ur own picture , we wont mind that for sure .

Some Rules Need to Be changed i Guess:D

Avatar Guidelines - You Must follow these guidelines

# If you choose to use an avatar make sure you select a cute one (pet, cartoon character,Cool objects etc.).

# Things that are not acceptable: attractive women, pictures of you and/or your partner, and avatar with any kind of erotic content. It's far better to not have an avatar than one that breaks the above rule.

# Do not use potentially offensive material involving porn, religious material, animal / human cruelty or ideologically charged images. Mods have wide discretion on what is acceptable. If in doubt PM one.
