Forums - Sony - Playstation 3 Shipments To Be Seized In US?

LG sues Sony, Sony sues Geohot. If Geohot sues LG Id lol.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

If LG hopefully win the case and stop Sonycat, I wonder what could happen to existing services and infrastructure. I mean, shouldn't they ban things like PSN or Netfilx or Home, too?

Dude you are a 360 supporter you cannot deny that!



I trust no one, not even myself.

it's funny how all 360 supporters are supporting LG..


no, we are supporting logic, sony fans are condemning LG only because it is against the PS3. If it was against the Bravia only, most wouldnt care.

...you are on LG's side, you can say that its logic your supporting or whatever, but it doesnt change the fact that you are in fact supporting LG, which you are, since your on LG's side.

anywa, since i like the PS3 and wouldnt want it to stop being sold (unlike a 360 supporter), clearly i would be on Sony's side and condem LG, utterly condem them, are they in the right?, maybe, im not a lawyer, but i dont care, clearly i would be against the guys who threaten PS3 from being sold in the country i live in.

And before anybody starts bringing up some retarted analogies like "if sony killed someone or [insert something horrible] would you still support PS3?", shut up cause this aint nothing like that.

I am not on anyones "side" I think what LG is getting away with is ludicrous PERSONALLY but that doesnt mean that it should stop happening if there is a valid reason behind it. I think the only ones that know what is going on entirely is Sony, LG and the Judge. 

Why would anyone want a console to stop being sold? That is strange, lesser consoles mean lesser high quality games coming out imo. 

If I were to create a console that had this thing in it that Ms created and this thing that sony created (patents for both) should I get away with getting all profits? Personally I don't think so. There is patents for a reason and it looks like Sony seems to have done this. 

Why would anyone say that about Sony killing anyone... its not about liking or disliking sony.

European Customs began seizing incoming shipments of Playstation 3 consoles in the Netherlands as LG won an injunction against Sony in a patent case regarding Blu-Ray technology. LG had also stated that it would work toward similar measures in the US and it seems that is gaining some traction.

European customs is currently holding all shipments for a period of 10 days. Shops generally have an estimated two-three weeks of inventory so this could, in some areas, begin shortages. If it were to be extended, the PS3 could disappear from some shelves altogether.

i believe i spotted a contradiction there!

if the injunction is only for the netherlands, how would that affect the PS3's in the rest of Europe?

sure, Sony is importing most of their PS3's through the Netherlands to europe, but right now, nothing stops them from changing that. it may be an annoyance for Sony, but in no way is it as seroius as it sounds.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

The whole Geohot and sony vs Hackers thing, youd be surprised how much people threw crazy analogies out to people who would dare to side with Sony instead of, get this, "freedom" (which is code for hakers).

Netherlands is where they are shipped for most of Europe. Not a contradiction
