No age rating on Lair disc caused delay

Discs without age ratings pulled, CVG has learned

The sudden delay that saw Lair's UK release pushed back even further behind the US release was due to there being no age rating on the game discs, Sony has told CVG.

Sony told us last week, on the day before Lair was due to go on sale: "Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the launch of Lair has been delayed very slightly."

But speaking to employees at UK retailer GAME, CVG has learnt that "the reason Lair has been delayed is because there is no age rating printed on the disk." Whoops!

Discs had to be pulled after the omission of the age rating - which is necessary by law - was discovered, forcing the game into a another short-term delay.

So we're left playing the waiting game again as Sony either re-prints new discs or gets little stickers put on the current ones. It shouldn't be too long, but Sony is yet to confirm a new release date.
