    For those on mobile:
    The PlayStation Network will be fully restored in the US and Europe on 2 June, Sony said.

    The network was shut down in April after Sony discovered a massive security breach that involved the theft of data about 100 million accounts.

    A limited service that allowed people to play games has been available since 16 May in many parts of the world.

    Full restoration means players can use credit cards to buy games, music and get at other digital downloads.

    The network, which serves both the PlayStation console and Sony's Qriocity music and movie service, is also being fully restored in many Asian nations apart from Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.

    Limited gaming services were also switched on last in those nations as Sony worked to convince the authorities that it had conquered the security shortcomings. Sony gave no date for the full restoration of service in those countries.

    Sony said it had beefed up its security systems following the breach and had created a position of chief information security officer to oversee efforts to protect user data.

    The attack led to the wide exposure of millions of accounts giving attackers access to login names, passwords and other personal details. Sony said it could not rule out the possibility that attackers had got hold fof gamers' credit card details.

    However, it said, credit card companies have not reported a rise in fraud following the breach.

    The attack is believed to have cost Sony in excess of 14 billion yen (£105m). The cash is being spent to provides insurance cover for gamers, pay for customer support and investigate how the attack happened.

    An apology package has been offered to gamers giving them free games, extra days to use premium content and the ID insurance.

    BTW, board games involve dice, which some flavours of Islam prohibit.

    but of course, if you're taking your info from a BNP promotion site, all this is wasted on you.

    Pick a religion.
    Dream up a relevant board-game.

    Building Integration Games hold a strong set of priniciples; by prohibiting the use of dice, gambling and uttering obscenities etc., and following our 15 guidelines which then make it permissibale ('halal') for Muslims to also take part in game playing, our board games can be played by the World's Citizens : Every person in every nation.

    Halal means "ok" or similar which means they want someone to verify that the games are ok for Muslims.
    Or summat.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    Lionel Ritchie converted to islam and then opened a butchers shop...

    It was called "Halal..is it meat you're looking for?"

    According to Wiki,
    Halal (Arabic:حلال, ḥalāl; means lawful or legal) is a term designating any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law.

    Look how many muslim shopkeepers sell booze, it is because they have make a fortune out of it. Islmam becomes hazy when money is involevd.

    Bet you can buy dice from muslim shops though lol

    Using dice for fun can't be gambling.

    Is it against Islam to sell alcohol? I was under the impression that the scripture can be interpreted as not drinking, or not drinking to excess. Don't think selling it is wrong to them.

    Also, not ever Muslim is a fanatic that takes every word in their scriptures a gospel (excuse the pun). Sure there's plenty of homosexual Christians with tattoos who work on a Sunday.

    Thanks for your deep cultural insight.

    With your natural empathy, have you ever considered working with refugees?

    its very cruel how the muslims do halal meat by cutting the head of a live animal. Sure how come they need a halal person for game sales. Most of the law in western society are based and came from Christian values

    Well there is no saria law here but they should put their beliefs in to practice even if many of them interprete the religion in their own way and not how it's intended. It seems to be not the people but the religion.

    Well, i find it cruel and many others would too. its a live animal how would you feel if your head was cut off. its important to respect all creatures.

    We'll try this again.

    They Do Not Cut The Head Off Live Animals. Its essentially the same method as Kosher butchery, and no worse than any other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Does the salesman have to be Halal (as in only engages in Halal approved activities), or is the boardgame itself Halal?

    halal or kosher slaugher it is all the same. the animal is fully conscious that would mean it's alive. there are more humane ways of killing an animal than cutting the poor creatures head off.

    ...not to mention the fact that were decapitation used as a method, it would be relatively painless and quick if done effeciently.
