After the many problems Sony has dealt with including Immersion, that Blu-Ray lawsuit, now a Church is offended by a game?

Is it becoming a popular thing to find any little thing about Sony that they can take legal action on? This is getting rediculous..

I smell a rat in this law suit (Microsoft). I read an article where the porn industry was suing Sony because they would not allow them access to Blue-Ray technology. Where HD DVD did allow them access to there technology. Also there are a ton of Microsoft game titles that are more demoralizing than Sony titles. Look at how much garbage is coming through our email on a daily basis. With Sony there PSN Home they actually are able to control what is being sent out over there network.

This isn't surprising. I'm really sure that Sony gets sued all the time, its just with the console war raging on and more people playing video games is that it gets more publicity. How many crazy individual people do you think sue sony/microsoft/nintendo because they "stole" their idea, albeit these cases are often thrown out. Just a few weeks ago where I work at was sued because we had movies that were unrated (turistas, hostel, etc.) because it was "damaging" to the children.

So this is nothing new, its just getting the spotlight because it makes for interesting news.

No I'm talking about America, not the U.K, I know because my family is from Europe and I go there a lot, nobody sues over there. UK usually never sues either. America sues if someone trips and scratches them selfs in somones property.

I am an a American and I think that these law suits are just a sign of how our society is going down hill at a alarming rate. I really don't believe in law suits unless there is a real injustice being done to another person or group.

There are also Canadians joining in the lawsuits. Don't forget about that. Of course canada is cool so I'll let it slide. This should be America's new Motto.

I like that name. I usually just calll it the Xbox 3crappy.

Oh and also on the note of the Porn being unable to be on the HD DVDs. I am a perv. Period. I have gigs of hentai and nude pics. I like porn. I'm not gonna go buy a 30 dollar Blue-Ray DVD. I mean rather than go through all that crap why don't they just offer sites where PS3 users can shop and download directly.

1. Easy Distrobution

2. Discreet (not having to go into a store where everyone knows you)

3. Very little cost for production (I.E. blue ray is probably somewhat expensive to make)

4. Accessability

5. Variety

6. Able to reach their Target Audience.

Face it... people won't pay 700-800 dollars on just a blue ray player just for high definition smut. That what the seXbox 3crappy is for and also if they have THAT much money for porn, well... that's what bars, streetwalkers, and las vegas is for.

You just reminded me of a Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson was going to give away a 91 Camaro in New Orleans to less fortunate families. At that point a lawyer came along and told him that it was actualy an 89 Camaro and that she was gonna sue him for misreprisentation unless he gave her $200.

killawolf, you werent expecting the church to jump on the bandwagon? they are the greediest group in history lol!!! this is getting stupid and out of hand. because of the success of the ps3 people are sueing, thinking, 'oh, ill have a bit of that!' So what if sony put a cathedral in their game, a great game i might add. would the church do anything if a movie put a cathedral in their movie with a massive shootout??? i dont think so!

the Church is not going to win because they don't have any legal argument. You cant sue somebody because they hurt your feelings this all boils down to freedom of speech, the courts will laugh at the Jesus freaks

canada cool?? pfft, yeah right. On topic though, I'm very interested in what happens here cause this could really change the way VGs are made and change the financial structuring of VG development too. Seeing as VGs are now competing with Hollywood in revenues gained, society may just be looking at trying to treat them excatly the same and have VG companies and have them pay royalties for dipicting cities and such. That would be crazy!
