They knew this would happen, they knew it would receive negative press, and they knew they would be addressing this at some point. And don't kid yourself, Sony was well aware of what what going on, proven by all the free press they are now getting for this game. So when they reply with "On this occasion we recognize that we fell short of our normal high standards of conduct and apologize for any offense caused. We are conducting an internal inquiry into the circumstances of the event in order to learn from the occurrence and put in place measures to ensure that this does not happen again." <br /> I call BS. Essentially they are saying, gee, we overlooked a decapitated goat? Hmmm, how did that sneak by us as not acceptable, we should really look into this and put a plan in place to ensure we don't use decapitated animals again. In other words, now that we got away with it, the plan is to let some time pass till we do something obnoxious again. I just lost a ton of respect for Sony.
