Because the holocaust actually happened while all religions are archaic superstitions that lead to war, terrorism, and (on a smaller scale) games being recalled for stupid reasons?

Well, with all the intolerence talked about muslims, would anyone just tell, how on the earth it is ILLEGAL to deny the holocaust in the west?

What sort of tolerance is this? How do you all living in the west could accept that piece of legislation without raising any eyebrow on that while all the time calling muslims intolerant!!!

Yeah, thanks for that. I have an extraordinarily visual imagination and that wasn’t a picture it needed.

I’m offended by this recall! Who’s going to stand up for me?

But it IS better than Braid! The opinion of some games reviewer who was probably a completely different person to the one who reviewed Braid summised the entire game with a number out of 10 that was HIGHER than the number of 10 that was used to quantify Braid!

You can’t argue with that. You can’t argue with numbers.

Something tells me that 360 blowhards are going to make a huge song and dance about not being able to get this game that they weren’t planning on getting on the original date they weren’t originally going to not get it.

Shatner you twat I nearly choked on my coffee when I got to that last line.

I love the internet.

All these people who protest indifference towards this game are now up in arms about a delay.

I note one *very* pro 360 site (although it hilariously insists no bias) has managed to avoid the mention of ANY scores the game has been getting in reviews over the last week. They are, however, already running this story like.. like.. like.. a bunch of religious fanatasists dancing around an effigy.

Still. At least we know the game is better than Braid!

I ask again, why not day 1 patch it. This is the death knell for Sony this gen in my opinion.

They really should have done their research:

I’m hoping for one week delay and a patch solution so they can point out that if anyones offended there’s a simple fix.

That’d make sense cos they could quietly introduce the patch into other regions too.

I guess Far Cry 2 sounds interesting in the meantime

@ RedPanda

It’s not a black and white issue over what is insulting and what isn’t.

The song was apparently done by a Muslim, so he clearly never intended offence.

He’s just singing verses that he probably loves from the Qur’an.

However someone has clearly led Sony to believe that this will cause offence to all Muslims, which is not necessarily the case.

So where does the insult come from?

The reality is that the song is by a Muslim, from a country whose population has a Muslim majority, and many of whom have probably bought this song.

It’s a bit of a PR disaster caused by people who’ve made some rash decisions, ie Sony.

@SilentLoner

”Well thats that then. SCEE are idiots, first Wipeout now this?! ”

lbp will have a much bigger impact than wipeout.

they will probably do the same thing that happened with GTA San Andreas for replacement(if you want to)

i just wonder to WHEN they will push the game now, the schedule is becoming tighter, and packed with ”high impact” games.

looking forward to see how this shapes up

Not to the same bloody week as WoW: WotLK.
I’d like to play LBP a little before WoW steals my life again.

@RedPanda: That one confuses me too maybe the people that complained live in Europe and they are applying the fix to that region.

By: RedPanda

RedPanda — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:59:22 +0000

@David not as much as Muslims in the US, who in Sonys view it is apparently fine to insult!

By: G1GAHURTZ

G1GAHURTZ — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:58:46 +0000

I like the way that they come out with the exact reason for this but never officially confirmed why wipeout got delayed.

Who knows why RedPanda but europe always gets the short end of the stick.

I don’t understand why this only applies to Europe then.

Wow. I’m astonished. Please don’t move it to the 14th. Pick another date.

Seriously over a song……. Come on just mute your tv if it offends you

By: SilentLoner

SilentLoner — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:53:38 +0000

Well thats that then. SCEE are idiots, first Wipeout now this?!

They really should pay attention at selling consoles 101!

This is meant to be a system seller and they f!ck it up?!

C’Mon!

Why not day 1 patch it?
