Wait, why didn't Sony buy a license to have the rights to use this technology? The same with Microsoft because Microsoft also got sued for this, but settle out of court? They're both big companies, they should know better. They should have done a search before hand. It seems like Sony brought it on to themsleves. Also, Sony is appealing the ban on selling the PlayStation, PS2, the dual-shock controllers, and the 49 games that use this technology. This appeal will decide whether Sony will be able to sell these items in the US. They brought this on to themselves. PS2 or no PS2, that is the question. Sony is probally now wishing they too settled out of court like Microsoft did.

Why were the controllers sued or whatever?
Read the article I've linked to (and quoted a part explaining this from) several times in this thread already.

What I don't seem to understand about this whole situation is why "said" company decided to spring this lawsuit just now... I mean, the PS2 has been around for quite some time already... why wait this freakin' long?
Actually, this lawsuit has been going on for three years. Microsoft settled out of court when sued and Sony let the courts make the decison.

That has got to suck for them. Hmm... Weird, I never read a news article saying Final Fantasy was one of the games that are banned. FF being as popular as they are, it would have made it into news articles. Not Tony Hawk.

Example of sterotype sony fangirl:

Why is everyone here anti-Sony? PS2 is awesome. Stop being idiot Nintendo fanboys (or fangirls).
*Wonders why since Pokmon is part of Nintendo.* XD

Okie, I'll stop spamming XD

Wait a sec...This doesn't make sense...O.o Sony is being sued for having the "rumble" feature in their controllers? O.o So, apprently feedback IS copyrighted. XD

I don't think so Soph. I know it uses a analog controller but I don't think it has to be a Dual Shock.
But I'll check my other controller later and see if it works.

Don't be anti-Sony.
Sorry, but it's just that sony has been copying Nintendo for years, I'm just glad they are finally getting sued. *hides again*

They didn't really copy Nintendo persay. And that (I can guess what you're talking about) isn't really related to this.

Anyway, watch it with any bashing (no matter how small). All right guys?

You know what's mind-boggling? Someone can make a cool product and sell it, and other companies can make the same bloody thing with a different name, and legally sell it. But Sony and Microsoft get a swift kick in the hindquarters for THIS?

I'm honestly surprised I'm seeing so much brandish behavior against PS2 all of a sudden. I mean I'm not exactly overly fond of it myself, but I still like the system, a good chunk of my games being for that system, and I don't think they deserve such low marks. They made a mistake. So what? It happens.

Is this lawsuit/ban only going to be applied in the US? Or rest of the whole world...?
The ban is only applied to the US. Nowhere else.
You know what's mind-boggling? Someone can make a cool product and sell it, and other companies can make the same bloody thing with a different name, and legally sell it. But Sony and Microsoft get a swift kick in the hindquarters for THIS?
Number 1: They're really big companies, they'll get notice first. Number 2: Microsoft and Sony didn't get a license to use this technology, other compaines, like Nintendo(I say it's the only good decison they've made since), did so they can legally make and use this technology. If they don't have a license, they can not sell it legally. Sony had a chance to patent this technology and make a lot more money, but they didn't. They had it coming.

That is funny!
You poor, poor, souls that like the PLAYSTATION 2.

You have me worried a bit. I thought it was soon going to be illegal for you guys to have PS2 mouse ports or anything like that on the back of your computers!

Well now you can invest in something better like... Hmmm... X Box?

But yeah. Poor you. No more Final Fantasy...

How can the US have jurisdiction over if a product is sold in another country or not? I mean, that would be like a banned user telling Arcanine what to do... :P... or maybe my analogy is wrong...

whats with all this bashing? people saying... eh, this is better, that is better. i thought you was supposed to voice your opinion about the ps2 lawsuit, etc, not if you think nintendo or microsoft is better

Who said Final Fantasy has to stay on Playsation? Remember, if it wasn't for Nintendo and Square's Final Fantasy, Sqaure-Enix would not exist today (and PS1 would be half as popular with the missing FF7). ;p
