No the code is there in the console versions. I saw somewhere about a mod for the xbox (it may have requiered a modchip) and I think there are now codes for the gameshark / action replay devices that enable it.
This has been bugging me ever since the story first came out, and while I am sure other people have said it before, I think it needs to be said again. First of all it is an M rated game, anybody not old enough to see the scenes shouldn't be playing the game. Secondly, the scenes were cut from the game, they weren't intended as an easter egg to unlock in the game. The scenes were disabled and it took a hack to make them available.
As to why the code was left in, there are a few simple explanations:
1. The programmer was lazy and it was quicker / easier to disable the scenes that to remove the code. (It may have even been originally written to be easily disabled in case it was cut.)
2. Deleting the code caused some random bug that was too difficult to fix.
3. The decision to cut the scenes was made shortly before the game went into production and they wanted to make as few changes to the code as possible.
This whole thing has been blown ridicously out of proportion. The bottom line is that parents need to read the rating and the game description on the box. If they still are not sure then they need to go to Google and search for (NAME_OF_GAME review). There is also the possibility that oh I don't know they could be a responsible parent and just tell the kid "No you are too young to play this game. Maybe you can get it when you are older."
I am suprised that no one has pointed out that the "Crop Circles" are censored images. The black area covers up the "(C)2005 Google" watermarks. Can't let the public see our waste treatment plant. They might find out what we've been eating and that would be a breach of national security.
HP has been selling printers with seperate heads and ink cartridges for years. Look at the Business Inkjet 1200, for one of the latest models. You just have to pay the high price for the printer in order to get the low ink costs. Of course this doesn't make sense for someone who doesn't to much printing, because you are never going to make up the cost of the printer in ink savings, and you are just going to clog the heads from not using them.

OLEDs don't use alot of power and they are flexable. Also since they emit light themselves they aren't backlight.

Or you just just setup up debian stable, put the security site into your APT Sources List, and install any updates when they are released.
