Wait wait wait... If Sony lose, does that mean they can't sell anymore PS3s in the US? :| .............. :lol: Someone please explain what's going on.
Long story short, Sony used components in the PS3 and some Bravia TV units that were patented by LG and used without LG's permission. LG wants payment for every PS3 and TV sold and all future ones sold. Sony refuses and LG files an injunction to cease the sale of the product. They don't get that but a holding period of 10 days for all units imported into the UK is allowed. Now LG wants to sue Sony in the US aswell, and they are going for the same injunction with a holding time (or cease sales altogether) until the problem has been assessed further in the courts. Worst case scenario, PS3's are not allowed to be sold anymore... but that's unlikely, Sony will end up paying. might be seeing a ps4 sooner than we think.
