Nah, they're better off waiting until fall. This PS3 ban won't go past 10 days, so they're not going to get people looking for a PS3, not being able to find one, and picking a 360 insted.

It's not up to Sony on whether the ban will go past 10 days or not. It's up to the judge. LG wants all the PS3 destroyed before the 10 days are up. So it won't even matter if that happens. It's not just people with out Ps3 who might get an XBox 360. It's people with a PS3, who might pick one up, especially if they want to play games like Halo Reach, Gears Forza 3 and any other 360 exclusives.


A lot of people do not understand this simple point.  The ban is for 10 days but can and will be extended by LG.  LG will state they want the ban extended and the judge probably will approve.  LG is also in the position to have those confiscated PS3 destroyed if they wanted.  This is serious business and not something to take likely as most people believe this will not impact Sony but it does.  This could also lead to precedent that can be followed in the US as well.

I would love LG to destroy all PS3 in stock WW and after that another judge decide that the previous were wrong and demand LG to pay for damages...

People here are little lunatic... do you really think PS3 will be banned for life because of this action or even that LG would confiscate and destroy an item that isn't their? Sony or the retailer are the owner until the good is sold they can maybe be called to keep the PS3 in hold, but while this happen they are responsible in brazil it would be called "fiel depositário" any damage to the goods and LG would have to pay...

Jezz.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Well as I stated in the general thread discussion on this topic, it appears the 10 day ban is only applicable to the Netherlands so the price drop for 360 in Spain is NOT related to the injunction at all.

"LG made a bold move that definitely ups the pressure on Sony. But it's important to understand that patent enforcement in Europe is still a country-by-country affair – even though there is a European Patent Office – and Sony can work around the Dutch decision by going through entry points outside of the Netherlands. That's a logistical nightmare, but it is a possibility. Sony is most likely already exploring such alternative routes."

that is for import destination. It appears to be their main importing country. That article states that to bring them into Europe they cant go by Holland, they might still be able to bring them in another country that allows it though they would have to find it.

But that is not easy (better: expensive). They will have logistical trouble. They have to take another port in another country and transport their shipments to their retailers.
