What is the evidence for the permissibility of the PlayStation for adults?

Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on computer games like PlayStation that contain images of animate beings. Some who issued a fatwa permitting them based their ruling on the premise that video images do not fall under the category of forbidden images, and on the permissibility of looking at images unless they are inherently forbidden, such as images of naked women. The Hanbalis held that looking at a forbidden image is not prohibited simply because it is an image.
