Sony Begins Talks with Church of England

Sony has begun talks with the Church of England following complaints from the Church over violent action sequences in a shooting game for the new PlayStation 3 console that take place in Manchester Cathedral.

Manchester Cathedral was used by Sony in its 'Resistance: Fall of Man' game without permission from the Church of England. Sony has now begun direct talks with the Church of England after learning of the complaints through media.

"We take the Church's views seriously," Sony Computer Entertainment spokeswoman Nanako Kato said in Tokyo. She declined to give details of the talks but added that more time may be needed to reach an agreement because the problem is complex, she said.
