Regarding Saints Row 2

Just remembered something. if you live in Germany you should be careful if you decide to buy Saints Row 2, as it is often (if not most comonly) sold in a censored and edited edition with less violence and with several parts of the story and gameplay edited or completely removed. this is apparently quite a widespread trend among publishers as games are often deemed illegal by German authorities. Apparently the Germans does not believes that censorship goes against the whole "freedom of speech" thing.

If you want to know more about how the German entertainment is censored then this would be a useful link:

And SR2 specifically:

(They are both in German, but I am sure Google translate can help you with that)
