Sony may not make the PS3 anymore (link inside)

Link

Another Lawsuit against a game company. This time Sony is being asked to cease manufacture, sale and supply of all Blu-Ray enabled products, which include the Playstation 3.

This may be the End of the ps3, if sony stops making it...who know what will happen, besides the fact that second hand ps3's will sell at over 600 bux

these cases happen all the time, but never really amount to anything, i remember someone told nintendo to stop making the wiimote, and nothing happened with thatVendettaRed07

Yeah but this is a lawsuit, it could happen you know

children would cry

gamers would cry

the world would end!!!

dosent mean it will be the same outcome with this lawsuit

I can't wait for the Lemmings to get their hands on this...ONLYDOD

I doubt it will happen, but I'd LAUGH if it did. toadster101

You'd laugh at a pathetic law suite culture causing millions of people around the world to be essentially screwed out of hundred of $'s?

Honestly, some people are disgusting.

At the very most sony would maybe pay royalties on discs.. and thats a stretch even. This will go nowhere.Czenkus

Yeah maybe that's the way it'll turn out, sony likes it's fanbase and would't just stop making the ps3 :D even so, this is interesting :)

Well they are, they said they are using most of it's potential with gears2, with the unreal engine 3 that very very well optimized for the 360 :P

I don't, i'm just bored :P

noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Gears2TrueStory

Did anybody actually read the article :|

It states that all other similar lawsuits toward the Blu-ray drives/disks failed. What makes you think this one is gonna go through?

And on another note, did anybody actually look at the patent?

The patent was filed in 1993 and published in 1995...why are they suing them just now?

Exactly that is what i was trying to say.Dont bother even reading it.Fills your head with such crap and gives you head ache.

Won't happen. Worst case, and I mean worst case, Sony settles out of court.

No major company like Sony or MS would allow a flagship product/technology to go off the market over a lawsuit. If need be, they will buy the rights to the patents, if they are truly infringing.

Probably because hmmm, some people aren't selfish bleeders who only ever think for themselves. I don't know, but that's an admirable quality to me, to be able to have empathy and not some blind hatred for people you don't even know anything about.

And yes, some people are still disgusting ;)

And upon reading the patent, I just noticed that this patent has nothing to do with the Blu-ray disks at all. It's a patent on recording and reproducing data on an optical disk. It mentions nothing about Blu-ray, and the term Optical Disk is so vague.

Could they not sue microsoft for the HD-DVD then?

"This time, Californian-based firm Orinda Intellectual Properties has applied to the courts claiming that Sony has violated patent number 5,438,560, which relates to "an optical disk-shaped recording medium comprising a plurality of tracks ," filed in 1995 by Hyundai Electronics Industries."

any company making dual layered discs could be sued.

"Despite attempts from a number of companies to sue Sony over patent infringements relating to its Blu-Ray discs, all have failed."

They can sue whoever they want with this patent. But it's ridiculous because the patent doesn't point out a specific disk type, just an "optical disk". It only mentions the recording/reproducing of data on an "optical disk". If you ask me, this company just wants money.

Then theres no way they can win with such a vague patent

Why does everyone sue Sony ?
