Sony in the worst case, LG winning and not wanting to license its patents, could be forced to develop its own workarounds or license the implementations of some bits from companies different from LG, while paying LG a big compensation for the damages already done. This could take some time, though, and units already produced should be modified. But if Sony has money plus its patents for that cellphone lawsuit and settling it too to offer, the only reason for LG to refuse would be having as main goal to damage PS3 and stop its sales for months. Or maybe to make Sony's value drop and take it over for less?

I still think it is a ploy to make sony see that what they are doing is wrong, wrong enough for their stock to be stop getting shipped in. 

Sony probably thought like many others that this would be a simple joke of a case and over before you know it. LG is making a statement. A brave brave statement. I just hope it doesnt backfire for them.

It's nothing like that. It's simple strategy to get in a better bargaining position in the cellphone patent case against LG. The only one making a statement here is the judge who probably thought, what the heck this has gone on long enough, injunction granted, now kiss and make up.
