PS3 Price Drop

[AlexJ]

The game was sold on the basis that there is 22gig of playable game content and in fact there was only 4.5 gig Insomniac and Sony will be facing haevy fines.

Resistance Fall of man will be Sonys most Exspensive game of all time they were sued for using a cathederal without permision and now they are to be inverstigated and could be sued big for this.

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.

It was more just a moral issue from the churches perspective than anything else. Depicting violence and death within a future depiction of a house of god.

As you say, there is little they could actually do legally against Sony and the developers of the game as the building is many hundreds of years old and a key landmark in the area. It was more an exercise by the church to voice their opposition to such uses to the media.

If anything had been done legally to remove its depiction from the game then this would of had huge repercussions within the gaming industry because it would then brought into question the legality of using any real locations within gaming worlds. Even something as simple as the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower would be brought into question. Something that would be silly as this would then also hit the movie and photography industries.

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:

I also got a PS3 at launch and I am regreting getting it the only aswome game out for PS3 is Motorstorm its excellent other than that there is nothing worth buying for PS3

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.

Has anyone found a PS3 cheaper than the £400 asda have it would be helpfull if we could find the cheapest for those who want one.

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

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.

Has anyone found a PS3 cheaper than the £400 asda have it would be helpfull if we could find the cheapest for those who want one.

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.

Why would anyone want a PS3 if the only game worth buying on it is MotorStorm, and everything on the Xbox 360 apparently is so much more awsome? That would be, like, misleading people into buying a crappy product. And, as opposed to depicting a cathedral in a video game, spreading misleading information IS enough grounds for legal action. Maaan, I sure don't want to risk getting sued!
