See that poster there at the bottom of the page? The one advertising PlayStation Move? It's been banned.
The ad received eight complaints that the imagery showed graphic violence, which could be seen as encouraging violent behaviour and be unsuitable for children, reports Campaign (via Kotaku).
Two of the complainants mentioned the game player was white and the computer character being tackled was black, and said the ad might be seen to condone racist violence.
Sony responded by saying the poster was supposed to advertise the controller, not a game.
It also claimed to have "taken steps to ensure that the images were not graphic" and that they did not target or feature children within them.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) disagreed, and upheld complaints the images in the ad were likely to "condone or encourage violent behaviour," which could cause serious offence to the viewing public and that it was unsuitable for children. It has now been banned.
It did not, however, accept the complaint that the images were depicting a racist attack. The ASA said that while the men featured had "slightly different skin tones," the ad was unlikely to be seen as condoning racist violence.

No PlayStation Plus is not a waste of money because look, this month you're offered 40 per cent off the price of Battlefield 1943! And that's a good game!
Sony will also give you Neo Geo game Samurai Showdown for absolutely free, according to the European PlayStation blog.
In addition, PS Plus subscribers can relish a day-one 20 per cent discount on today's new PSN game, Eat Them.
There are PlayStation minis on offer, too, in the shape of A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks (that's its name - it's actually free).
That's on top of a 25 per cent discount for Blokus, and 20 per cent off all Neo Geo Station launch titles, which inlcude:
Alpha Mission II
Art of Fighting
Baseball Stars Professional
Fatal Fury
League Bowling
Magician Lord (This title will be coming free to Plus in February 2011. We wanted to make sure those who just couldn't wait that long still got a discount.)
Metal Slug
Super Sidekicks
The King of Fighters '94
The King of Fighters '94 (PSP)
Metal Slug (PSP)
These deals are extras to compliment the standard PlayStation Plus content for December and January, which we outlined at the start of the month.
Like Xbox Live, PlayStation Plus costs £39.99 annually - or £11.99 for 90 days. Unlike Xbox Live, Sony's keen to offer lots of free stuff above and beyond demos.

Turn on your PlayStation 3, have a nosey under the Music tab, and you'll discover Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity.
It's a subscription streaming music service just launched by Sony. Eagle-eyed reader Wesley Nutt alerted Eurogamer to the addition this morning.
According to a report on PCWorld, Music Unlimited is only available in the UK and Ireland, but Sony plans to expand the service to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, New Zealand and the US next year.
Music Unlimited has a whopping six million songs at launch. Two options are available. The basic plan offers genre-specific and era-specific channels of non-stop music. The premium service adds on-demand access to all songs in the library and additional channels with new music.
The basic plan costs £3.99 or €3.99 a month. Premium sets you back £9.99 or €9.99 a month.
Sony's Qriocity aims to link all of its network-enabled consumer electronics products and shares the same base as the PlayStation Network that links Sony's gaming devices.
Music Unlimited synchronizes existing playlists to the service, if you so desire. It can scan files in your PS3 music library and digitally fingerprint each song. The data is then uploaded to the service and the songs are added to your library to use on demand across all devices. But if your songs aren't among the six million available, they won't be accessible.
Predictably, the service doesn't work with music file formats with digital rights management. Sony plans to later add support for protected music files.

Why is PlayStation 3's virtual world Home free? Because you lot keep buying virtual items.
Home, which enjoys 17 million registered users and contains 236 games, has suffered criticism from the press and gamers since its 2008 launch, but Sony has maintained its profitability through the sale of 7000 high-margin virtual items.
That, according to PlayStation Home director Jack Buser, is big business for Sony.
"If you look at the first quarter of this calendar year, we actually tripled revenue from the same time period of the year prior," he told Gamasutra.
"The business model works, and we like it quite a bit. It's one of the reasons we're able to offer PlayStation Home as a free service."
Looking to the future, Buser said the quality of games within Home will keep it growing.
"Games are the killer app for the platform," Buser said.
"I think once gamers find out that they have hundreds of games built into PlayStation Home, most of them free-to-play, [they will try Home]."
And what kinds of games will they be? Buser expressed interest in virtual item sales and free-to-play microtransaction-based games. Microtransactions are Home's "bread and butter", he said.
"Here we are in the console space becoming very comfortable, very familiar with the latest and greatest business models of the game industry, putting us just miles ahead of the competition in this regard."
Not everyone is convinced, however. Earlier this month Microsoft described Home as a "nice chat room" and "not an awful lot more".

CycloDS iEVOLUTION- the real DSi flash card for DSi V1.4.1 firmware
CycloDS iEVO DSi flash card from Team CycloDS is the first real DSi backup cart that support DSi only features such as the built-in camera and SD card access for storage, which will be launched at earler of January 2011 . Pre-order now . IEvoUnlike other DSi Compatible cards that run in DS MODE on the DSi the iEvolution cartridge runs in true full DSi mode and so it can use the full potential of the improved hardware like the faster CPU clock.
More processing power that CycloDS iEvolution unlocks will come in handy when DSi homebrew is concerned. Team Cyclops already supports the homebrew scene by shipping free dev units to developers.
Cyclops iEVO flashcard is compatible with all Nintendo DSi and DSi LL (Japanese) and XL (USA / Europe) consoles. Old NDS and DS Lite is also supported, but on ti there is no point in using a more expensive iEvolution card as DSi MODE will not work on NDS. (No camera or SD slot on it)
Be advisedSince it is a pre-ordered item and CycloDS team announced that it is supposed to be released by the earlier of January 2011. So please make it sure you do not have any problem to the devliery time before order . Thank you for your cooperation .
A quick clarification in relation to DSi mode for iEVO. Only USA and European consoles will be supported initially in the first iEVO firmware release shipped with the cart. Later firmware builds will support other regions, once our development team has completed the necessary stress testing. Please be assured that only a software firmware update is required, and no additional hardware or hardware revisions will be required to cater for these regions of consoles.
FeaturesiEvolution flash card are very similar to the CycloDS Evolution, but the team has also come up with some new features to justify the purchase of yet another DSi Flash Card.
CycloDS iEvolution features at the time of release include: (more will be added with Firmware updates)
Cheat code support from Action Replay Data Base
Extra 8 MB RAM onboard
Upgradable Bootstrap so Nintendo can not block the cart
Full support or micro SDHC cards up to 32 GB and microSD up to 2GB
Supports Wii Connection for games
Slow Motion for games
Real Time Save and Restore as seen on the R4i RTS cards
USB Reader / Writer + special firmware upgrade module in the package
Download play support so you can share games over WiFi
Multi Language Operating System and interface
iEvolution will include 8 MB of on-board buffer memory for speeding up file access speeds, which is four times larger than what we had on the CycloDS Evolution which came with just 2 MB.
DSi firmware updates from Nintendo will not be able to block iEVO, because the flash cards boot ROM is upgradable and cart comes with the upgrade module (the circular puck like adapter with a USB plug and a slot for DS cart). And lets not forget that the iEvolution comes with all of the other amazing features that CycloDS Evolution had, including the Enhanced in-game menu and other exclusive features.
From CycloDS Team - Clarification about the compatibility:
An early clarification of how DSi iEVO will work. Only the U.S. an European DSi console will be compatible wit the first firmware version, later firmware versions for iEVO will add support for Japanese and Chinese DSi handhelds. Support of other regions, once completed our development team, the stress test is based needs. You can be sure that only a software update is required, and without any change or additional hardware equipment required to meet compatibility targets for these areas of consoles. ...by Published on December 22nd, 2010 01:23
