You don't know much I hate IE, hate it with a passion. when i get a new pc the first thing i always do is get firefox. You had to bring it up. 

No problem, Sony stuffed the channels for two years now: there are years of ps3 supply in teh OVERSTUFED CHANNELZ!!!!!!

What, 2/3 weeks? In the biggest market for Sony? Come on...

One must enforce a patent as soon as there is a possible infringement, if you don't enforce your patent then the patent is void. PS3 was on the market for almost 5 years, so, if they filed their complaint this year, they risk to lose their patents.

BTW this is a counter-suit to a suit filed by Sony, to block the import of LG Smartphones (including the WP7 ones).

I am betting the world you care more about PS3 sales than I do. Look at this thread, look who has posted, just the idea of PS3 sales stopping brings in some interesting people. 

I highly doubt is going to go anywhere.  Most likely Sony and LG will settle out of court, with little to no money involved.  The biggest thing that will probably happen is that Sony will agree to drop its lawsuit it has against LG.  Though, it probably will hurt sales in about a week when stores run out of their stock.  Unless of course this gets settled much quicker.

The one thing I hate about these patents is companies can just get a shit load of them, most of them not being very specific, and sue other companies who even come out with tech similar to their patent.  Hell, they don't even have to prove they are really working on the tech, just have to patent the idea. 

Are we talking about the S-LCDs here? Seems as though Samsung is the primary shareholder in that one (50% 1 share), and calls the shots. Doesn't mean Samsung cannot use them in their own TVs as much as Sony.

Maybe it's just this region, but Sony TVs have generally been A$500 to A$700 more than the two largest, and quite frankly, there is not enough difference in quality to justify that extra expense.

Bundling software should be fine (as long as we are allowed to use other ones and make other ones default), unless they are malwares of viruses.

IE being bundled isn't such a bad thing at all, what do win 7 users get as a browser now? Firefox?

Or do they have to install it themselves?

ugh lol? what dream world are you living in? How many assumptions can one jump to so fast...and ww hulk angry? LOL

anywho guys, it's just 10 days, these type of things will get settled soon enough. Sony fans are getting enough great core exclusives these days to keep us happy and occupied, I'm sure those who wanted to buy a ps3 during the time it's not available will most probably can stick around for a week or so.

Sony has treated the fanbase well with their games, so I hope they do fine and I'm sure they will.

and kowen stop derailing this thread would ya? You brought in something so irrelavant into this. Do you like wait for threads like this to bring in nonsense like this or something? Geez it's not even remotely related

You're a fine one to talk :-S and PS3 sales won't stop. You meant the possibility. It's so small though it's not really worth discussing. How much Sony have to pay out will be interesting, it'll have a massive knock on effect. They might not cut the price, completely changes forecasts ... again, possibility. May even impact decisions MS and Nintendo make. If this does all go ahead, and is clear of the reason why PS3 doesn't drop price this xmas, 360 and Wii might only drop $50 vs something bigger if Sony would have cut.

IF LG ask for royalties, then that makes the PS3 less profitable for Sony. Wish we knew all the figures ..

Don't give ideas...

Yeah...when this case was first announced, I remembered quite a few people on these boards saying it wouldn't amount to anything...Got Valium?
