I don't think many gamers will actually care tbh, arn't you a sony fanboy? or have I mixed you up with someone else? just saying it would explain your gross exaggeration of it all.

Thats because it was never an insult in America in the first place, people ove rhere don't use it as the peace sign.

^I know, I was just explaining that in America it works either way. Didn't notice that it had already been discussed.

If he did that in my company i would beat him ocer the head.

I would be reacting the same had it veen on the ps3 aswell. I love L4D i play it on my pc all the time. I just picked up Prototype and Sims 3 for the pc aswell.

It is no secret if a game is a PC/PS3/360 PS3/PC multiplat Then i will always get the pc version unless it has a good online system then the PS3 wins. If a game is a PC/360 multiplat then i will always get the PC version assuming it isnt a boge job. If a game is 360/PS3 multi then i get the PS3 version. AKA brought UFC2day for PS3.

Because of this the 360 sees very few games. because i get them for the PS3 PC. If i didnt have a PC then my 360 would get a lot more play time. The isnt a game this year worth getting on the 360 for me. So i aint a Sony fanboy i just like how the playstation's have the own identity. The 360 for me does not. It is too busy chasing after PS and sharing games with the PC for me to care about it.

Oh and to answer your question more directly. I am more pissed about the finger sign then it not being on PS3. It is a very insulting gesture. The gaming industry more the hardcore violent side of it already have a stigma about it without devs doing stupid insulting boxarts to give those whining fools a chance to make a jab at the gaming industry

So people with mutilated hands from industrial accidents are offensive?

That sign is rude in Australia aswell.

I think it's funny. The finger sign seems to be as rude in the UK as the middle finger is here in the States... but when the finger sign happens in a show (like I remember Spike using it in BtVS), we don't censor it at all.

I guess they figure no one here knows what it means, so it doesn't matter? :)

I thought it was strange they had a peace symbol for their cover...

But it's not about the two fingered insult. 'Cause both box arts have it. IN fact the least historically offensive version is the original, since having had 3 of ones fingers gnawed off one has little option but to be in a perpetual state of giving the 2-fingered salute, when relaxed.

It was our insulting gesture until the American cultural revolution invaded our land in the 80's. Now flippin the bird is adopted form of gesticular insult. America's contribution to inter-cultural communication.

Churchill also famously gave the Gerrys the 2-fingered salute, or at least he did in a movie I saw about the battle of Britain.
