RE: Finally got enough $$
I don't understand...
a controller that shakes your hand is pattned, but it's okay for Nintendo to make the "rumble pack"? Someone smart break this down for me... Also what is ment by "Playstation". I didn't think you could buy the those anymore (psx). Do they mean PSONE, PS2, PSP or what?

RE: So i dont have a DS but I am not going anywhere.
Well, that's a bit nitpicky, but sony isn't loosing anything here. They have much more money than that in their most useless products. If the PS2 production is halted for a few weeks, that will still do little...

RE: Twisted Metal: Head On (Online Mode)
Appeals Courts are Sony's best friends. :P
What they mean by PlayStation is the actual console which uses this "rumble" feature. So this really doesn't affect the PSP except for the fact that it's Sony. I doubt it would have any effect on their revenue at all. Sony will eventually (if at all) settle for a lesser cost. This won't ruin Sony at all, as they have other divisions of the company that can create revenue for them. I also wonder what took this company so long to file suit.

Maybe the suit has been pending some time, and they just came to a decision? I don't know...
And likely since all the consoles fall under the header of "Playstation"... it likely means all of the consoles, including handhelds. Bear in mind... I'm not definitely sure. lol - CD
