Yep, it is very true. Sony got sued, but it seems that it won't hurt them too much.

no biggie they can still sell the product as long as they keep appealing in court. they'll probably streach that it so long till the ps3 arrive.
but theyre still pretty stupid for not setteling out of court like microsoft did.

What? This sounds absolutely ridiculous. How is a dual shock 2 controller in any way a copyright infringement, let alone 40 of the PS2's games? It seems to me like some people are jealous of Sony's success and what a slice of the pie. I would not put it past Sony to infringe a tiny bit, especially accidentally on purpose, but this is ridiculous. What about all of the gaming developers swallowed up by microsoft for their own financial benefits? For some reason I doubt that Sony will be forced to not include their own controller with their units and all of this said ridiculous bullshit. Which game titles are being referred to I would like to know. Btw, mourdor, your link is to ps2 related news, but not to this particular topic.

not the dual shock itself but its RUMBLE/vibrating Function of the dual shock was problem.

They refused to acknowledge a patent from another company and claimed it as their own technology. Very stupid mistake on their part and they deserved to be punished. And it is the vibration feedback technology inside the controller that is patented, not the controller itself. |

I think Sony will slide through it fine, though, Darren, the company has more than a tad bit of money in their bank accounts! :laugh

Actually, this is one of those times I feel I must reconsider what I said before. You are right, if sony committed a copyright infringement, it was very stupid of them and they should have to pay up. BIG TIME. However, this does seem like such a strange thing to have gone mostly unnoticed for so long. Makes me wonder.
