Headlines
Good morning,

The Church of England has demanded an apology from Sony for using a recreation of Manchester Cathedral in its first-person shooter game for the PS3, Resistance: Fall of Man.

UK-based music download store 7digital has relaunched its service in a bid to take on Apples iTunes. 7digital has introduced cheap downloads on many new releases as well as "significant reductions" on a selection of albums. No plans have been heard for this service to enter the Australian market.
