you realize a court case is a slow process right...
And you do know what "Irreparable harm and monetary damages towards the company" is right?
IF the lawsuit was grounded in reality (I doubt it is, or well, was) then all Sony would do was pay them a little bit of $$ and it would all go away (That's all the other company wanted anyway, regardless of what the 'lawlsuit' says. Suing a company that has deep pockets over stupid things is an acceptable (and profitable) career choice)
Also: Did the PS3 beat up your parents or something? It's just a game console, why exactly do you dislike it/ wish it's destruction? Im sure plenty of people enjoy their PS3. Sure it's not successful, but I think it's time will come. Honestly, it's ahead of it's time. The technology is very good, but it's just too expensive to use properly right now. Maybe in a few years.

You realise IBM made the chip in question right? So Parallel Processing would have to file the lawsuit against IBM and not Sony.

Do you know what "being incredibly patronising" is? If you're going to talk down to someone, the least you could do is actually read the article you linked to, where you'll read that the "irreparable harm and monetary damages" you're quoting is what Parallel Processing claim Sony have caused them, not what they are threating to cause to Sony.
Whether or not this case is going to achieve anything, it certainly isn't going to sound a death toll for the PS3. I can't find a single article dated after 31 July 2007 (except a single apparently rather slow site that posted a regurgitated version of the story on 1 August). If this case was a huge threat to Sony, I think it's likely that more would have come out in the intervening two months. The most likely outcome of this case is that Sony quietly settle it with a big chunk of money. Certainly this "impounding of PS3s" scenario seems about as likely as me discovering aliens under my bed tonight.
But why does the idea excite you so much?
People sue the big gaming corporations all the time for frivolous patent violations, it's never ended their business in the past. If the lawsuit is legitimate sony will just settle out of court for a small sum of millions. We'll never see PS3's destroyed, several million have been constructed and sold, it's not even a feasible request.

Ummm, that first paragraph.... that's exactly what i meant.....
the least im hoping for is sony buying out of it with huge amounts of money. Than again, i would be happy

Was over the tilting technology used in the wiimote. Dunno if that's gyroscope or what though!
I dont really think an exclamation point was necessary in that sentence but, yea, that six axis, crap, they basicaly said "Hey the wii has motion sensing, WHY DONT WE ADD THAT TO OUR SYSTEM?!"
First: reading comprehension. There was no quarrel between sony and wii over the motion sensing in controllers, he was referring to some random guy getting on nintendos case because of the motion sensing technology they used (read: his case was just bull######).
Second: Are you really upset that Sony decided to incorporate motion sensing in it's controllers as well? That's just.. the most ridiculous thing ever. A good idea is a good idea, no matter who uses it. Besides, the usage of it is INCREDIBLY different.
By your logic though every game is just ripping off Spasim because they all stole 3d graphics from it.
Do you know what a 'fanboy' is?
Lastly: Motion sensing it usually done with Piezo crystals and (occasionally) moving parts. No gyroscopes involved (infact, how would they even sense motion at all?)
It does, they hardly use it in any games though. In 'little big world' it makes your characters head move around...
Gyroscopes work on a different principal. They're a spinning mass affixed to a very precisely machined and pricey frame that allows them to continue rotating along the axis they were originally spun up along. They're super-duper expensive due to the level of precision needed in their construction, not to mention they're generally pretty big.
As for this uninhibited loathing for the PS3... who cares? I certainly don't. I'm not going to buy one and I wouldn't recommend anyone else buy one, but I don't <b>hate</b> it.

Are they going to march into every person's home in every country in the world to search for PS3s? I see no way that - even if it were true and a viable judicial action - this would be the "end of the PS3".
Also, it is a sad, sad life you live when all your dreams come true due to the faint chance that all of a piece of technical equipment potentially might have the possibility of being recalled.

I think what a lot of people in this thread are getting at is; why do you have such a vested interest in Sony having all their PS3s destroyed, or more realistically losing "huge amounts of money". Why do you want to hurt Sony so badly? Did Sony break into your house at night and murder your family with a kitchen knife? Personally, I dislike the way Sony has treated its European customers, what with us having to pay more money for an inferior system and all, but you know how I expressed my displeasure? I didn't buy a PS3.
Just wondering why you're so passionate about this.
Any lawsuit filed by a small company against a large company is doomed from the get go. As stated before, the simplest way to deal with this is to throw money at the problem. If the problem refuses to leave Sony will throw money at it's lawyers who in turn delay the problem until the turn of the century. By which time the person who filed suit will most definately be dead along with his small company. That's just the way the legal system works.
I think that if the Sony would keep it's word with deciding not to make any games and focused on helping other developers make their games compatible with the extremely confusing software, then maybe the PS3 would have a few decent titles on it. As it stands, there has yet to be a must have title that warrants a $600 price tag that I couldn't just buy for my 360. Screw the remote too, I have a WII for that nonsense.
Thaldy wins the thread. Suing Sony for Patent infringement on something THEY DON'T MAKE is dumb. Nuff said. Oh, and why would they go after Sony instead of IBM? Because IBM has trained attack lawyers that have been doing nothing but drubbing SCO up and down and would probably eat this small fry in a heart beat.

Heh, I would love to see Heavenly Sword<i>s</i> get sued by the GoW people <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
As a side note, Sony tends not to throw money at people to make them go away, then tend ti fight tooth an nail (see the lack of them settling with the company that sued them over rumble until they lost the case).

Sony didn't add the six axis until Nintendo announced and showed it's motion senser...
I don't care if it's different they still ripped the idea from them....
Jesus Christ riding on a moped down the street delivering pizzas running out of gas at noon, are you really that thick? Read the freaking post next time.

Which means D-Pads, Analog sticks, Wired controllers, joysticks, Left/Right buttons, Back buttons, Start buttons etc. were all ripped between Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Atari etc. so they all suck for all "ripping" each others ideas too? Dude, it isn't very often I can look intelligent but seriously, think before you open your mouth in future.
Ummm were talking about motion sensing sooo.... how is that like a wired controller? Obviously you fail to see what im talking about.....
Re-read what I wrote again but remember my sarcasm also includes a big element of seriousness. You described a feature of a controller, I described many. You saying Sony "ripped" an idea from Nintendo is you being a prejudice git. All consoles, like all good invention borrow/use others ideas and encorporate and even possibly make better for use. You have no point, you don't know what you're talking about.
Wish i had one of the EV1's, i would had fought for it to the death <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
