Sony were (to the best of my knowledge) not sued for using a 'cathederal' (sic) without permission, the copyright in the design of the building would had expired hundreds of years ago so it's in the public domain. They did apologise to the church for not notifying them first but they hadn't actually done anything wrong.

The games industry is for the most part self-regulating, so I'm not sure who exactly will be 'inverstigating and suing' (sic) Sony for the legal act of adding extra files onto a disc.

Sony have removed Resistance fall of man from retail because of it and if they put resistance fall of man back on the shelfs they will will be sued within months.

Its a good game and games should have real locations it makes them more realistic.

Does know any other shops that sell PS3 cheaper than ASDA because they are selling them for £400.

Nope, it was still on display in when I had a look around Game in town earlier, and it's still top of the weekly ELSPA PS3 sales chart.

Game had them for £425, but for your extra £25 they threw in 3 games and an extra Sixaxis controller. As you have to get at least 1 game, the Asda one works out at £430-£440 so this is cheaper and you get another two games and a controller.

Maybe Sony recalled Resistance in your fantasy world, but it's still in the shops over here. In fact, I read somewhere that the incident with the cathredal actually boosted the game's sales. Nothing like free publicity.

Apparently, copies of Resistance are also recently being included in the Starter Bundle all over the world. So much for Sony being afraid of legal action, eh?

It was not a fantasy world Sony agreed to stop selling resistance fall of man and if they dont they will be sued.

Sony agreed and I was also wondering why Resistance fall of man is still in shops as welll and when I did some more reading on it appparently Sony have given them a few million to shut them up.

I dont know what all the fuss is about its a good game.


Any one know were the cheapest PS3 is.

I thought you said the only good game was Motorstorm. Yes, that's right:

As for the Cathedral thing, according to the BBC:

"(Sony) published an apology in a city newspaper but has confirmed it will not be withdrawing the game or making any changes to it."

I think being a church, it's morals they are going on as opposed to money so I doubt Sony would be able to pay them off, and by the looks of it have no intention to either.

This is going off topic again.

The story on the BBC link is old its from the 6 July 2007

Sony apoligised agreed to take the game from retail then decided to put it back on retail and they will be giving them money for charity Sony are not afraid of legal action.

I said Motorstorm is an awsome game and is excellent
and I said resistance fall of man is a good game.

Awsome is alot better than good.

I prefer Gears of War it wipes the floor with Resistance fall of man Gears of war is awsome and it has some of the best game music.

And you also said there are no games worth buying on PS3 apart from Motorstorm but you now seem to be saying that Resistance is also worth buying.

Yep, as I said you'd have to add a £30-£40 game with the £400 Asda one, making it £430.


Game are doing them for £425 with 3 games and an extra SixAxis.

Amazon are doing them for either £400 with 2 games, extra SixAxis and HDMI cable or £425 for 3 games, extra Sixaxis and HDMI cable.

HMV for £425 will give you 2 games, extra SixAxis and 2 Blu-Ray movies (no choice here though, it's Casino Royale & Black Hawk Down)

The best deal IMO is the Amazon £400 one. For the same price as Asda's base console you're getting £60 worth of games, a £30 controller and a £20 cable thrown in.
