there was no court ruling as it was a different system with different capabilities and therefore is met with different guidelines. how do u have a court ruling with no case? u do realize a judge can't say oh we ruled it once so every product from here on out is the same thing. each product receives separatre ruling. also i live in america not the uk. we have separate  laws here. according to fcc and sec finings when sony originally introduced the product it was classified a s a computer system. due to its unique architecture and ability for os install it was allowed to be categorized as a computer system. the instal other os was a key point in how sony got away with it. note no previous video game system has had the ability for optional install and because of this they couldnt be classified as anything but. the ps3 is unique. it is NOT a single function unit. yes the xbox360 also has multimedia cappabilities but it is restrictive to the xbox format. hence it is a video game system with mm capabilities. the ps3 is classified as a computer system with video game capabilities.
