Whoa.. is this as serious as it sounds?

I have no Idea how much of a percentage of PS3 consumers are in Europe, but this has got to be a huge hit to Sony if this holds up any longer.

That's what you get for being a dick about GeoHotz Sony. /s

Anyway hope this doesn't mess up my future purchase of a PS3 machine thinger too much. I mean, I can live without. At least until Uncharted 3

No, it would get settled out of court with them doing cross license agreements. Thats how most of these ip things turn out.

This has nothing to do with GeoHotz.

yeah pretty sure LG will drop it soon. I mean they only started this lawsuit against Sony for copyright infringement because Sony has like 11 copyright suits against LG. lol

heh, alright, well that's good to hear. I can deal with some petty corporate tit for tat. Those blurbs I linked to made it seem as if a legal storm was brewing with talk of repossessing systems from store shelves and what not.

Sensationalism... hooda thunk it.
