Media Molecule - "I was so excited to get this game. No longer. Sorry, guys, but I'm going to have to cancel my pre-order. You can say it's about "quality," but we all know that isn't true. It is only about fear. Well, you're a business, first and foremost, and of course you have to consider the ramifications of offending fanatical Muslims. Now you've offended me, and as such I don't feel you deserve my money."
Three Speech - "As much as we’re all about free speech on Three Speech (and we really do want you to debate and discuss how you feel about SCEE and PlayStation) this is obviously a pretty contentious issue, so please try to avoid saying anything too inflammatory in this thread. Try to keep your comments measured and your criticism constructive everyone..."
Sony's blog - "Since Sony is giving into terrorism, I guess I’ll just cancel my Little Big Planet pre-order and go buy Fable II next week."
Eurogamer - "Stop having a go at Muslims. It's PC idiots over at Sony who are massively overreacting."

This thing about how science could make man better. This thing in which we explain the concept of "books" to younger urban readers. This thing which is about Tekken 6 coming to Xbox 360 again, as the world needs to be told as many times as possible that PlayStation3 is dead. This thing about Gears of War SHOES, which definitely warranted the use of an emoticon in the headline.

This thing about Oasis. This thing about when marketing budgets COLLIDE. This thing about innovations in the battery-charging scene. This thing about Sarah or Penny. This thing about a camera we'd have if money was to suddenly become no object thanks to either a series of deaths or robberies. This thing about what happens when you Google the word photocopier, because you can't not use pictures like this when they come along:
Jack Tretton says PS3 sales are "100% up" year on year! (even though last year it sold 9.5m PS3s and this year it plans to sell 10m. 10m is not 100% more than 9.5m, you imbecile) Jack Tretton says Sony will struggle to meet demand for PS3! (great excuse for not selling many of a thing). Jack Tretton says lots of other things that aren't particularly true when taken in context of what Sony has said before and figures that are publicly available.
