Actually he is referring to my post.  I said something to the effect that Germany has problems with FPS...  meaning the government has strict rules about selling them in the country.  He replied by saying since there was no "red" blood and in the game you are only killing "aliens" it shouldn\'t be a prob...

Thought that might help clear things up...

Now a quote from a guy who works in a store. (translated by me.. hihi)

"I work in one of Swedens biggest toy shop (Americans might call it electronics stores), and I have some nice facts now when the first day of the Xbox release is over. I can only say (as a comparison) that we got 12 PS2s on its release. They were sold in 35 seconds. (We did not allow preorders) And now when the Xbox was released we got 60 units. Neither this time did we allow any preorders.

We did not sell any Xboxes today!

Not one single phone call or one single question about the system at all. For me (who thought we would have a record breaking sale today) this day is a major flop. That’s what I think the xbox will be.. One big flop. Not that its a bad system, but people do not want to shell out 5000SEK ($470) when you can get a PS2 for 3000SEK ($290)"

Halo shouldn\'t be a problem in Germany. The BPjS (Bundes-Prüfstelle-für-Jugengefährdete-Schriften) only take games off the shelve once they have seen it or people get offended. It\'s pretty stupid actually. Quake aswell as Resident Evil 2 and many others have been taken off the shelves in Germany and can only be bought in special shops or behind the shelves. Magazines aren\'t allowed to show anything on games that have been taken off shelves.

If a game gets "banned", automatically all the sequels get "banned" aswell. Since halo is a new game and doesn\'t have all too much blood in it, it really shouldn\'t be a problem to sell it.

I\'m sure that will be the most common sentence (as well as common sense) most Europeans will be saying...with or without translation. :p
