Isnt Ms closer to Samsung? An opposition to both. If there is a TV that is branded in an exclusive, or Ms conferences etc etc there always seems to be a samsung.

Pretty sure there were samsungs in Kinect Sports.

inb4 people unnecessarily bash nsanity for posting this

OT:

Damn I hope this doesn't happen

Its gonna hurt EMEAA sales next week already!!!!!

Come on SONY, lawyer LG's a$$!

I wouldn't be so certain. In coming weeks maybe, but now?

Also, IF the patent is true, then I'm sorry Sony but you deserve it. You can't copy people's patents...

Wonder if LG would have just let it lie if Sony didn't file against them last year eh?

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

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.

I'm afraid here in the UK I've been watching the tech news and they say its all of Europe, including the UK. Most imports just go the the Netherlands first
