Well, at least they've requested an appeal, so they can still sell their product. Which is good, because the 3rd party PS2 controller I picked up a couple of months ago is excretement.

Well, I just read that if Sony pays for a license, they'll be able to continue selling the DualShocks as is.

I think it was the touch sesitivity.

Why are people anti-PS2? That really makes me mad, Sony pioneers many things.
I can't wait until the PSP's come out as regular PSP and no Spiderman 2 etc.
1.8 Gb of space.
How much is a DS?
Pokemon Sapphire is 120 Mb I think, on a flash card anyway.
The PSP and Playstation 3 are the/going to be the highest in quality. PS2 are very powerfull from an extremely well design. Super Computers have been made out of them. The PS3 Blue Ray Discs are Sony's design. The Cell Tech. is Sony's design. The PS3 will be the best.
With high quality games like the GTA series, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and even Laura Croft has been re-designed for a final desperate attempt. No game takes longer to get to 100% on GTASA. Not a one.
The Official X-Box Magazine gave a review to a Tom Clancy game as the best game on X-Box ever. That game is even availiable on Gamecube and the rest, including PS2.
The PSP is high quality, and if Nintendo wasn't woried about it the DS would have came out when Metroid Prime was done. I guarantee it.
The PSP is also an mp3 player and it uses Memory Cards like in Cameras, and it will take pictures and it will be able to put a GBA Emulator on it, which I will do soon, and walk around playing my Pokemon hacks on the PSP.

Once you find that GBA emulator for PSP, can you pm me?

I agree with everything you said though, Sony has created alot of innovations, and has brought other ones out of the shadows of the technological world.

PSP definetly has my vote on quality and games between itself and it's rival. Even now, I can say every game I've played on the DS feels like a side-quest or mini-game. I guess that will change when P/D and FFIII gets released, but those both seem so far away.

I'm hoping that between the PSP and the DS that I'll be able to carry Final Fantasy I-X with me =P


Anyway, back on topic, kip is right, courts take forever, and they probably are still paying for them at the moment.

I won't give my opinion regarding this, but the way the world is now, and given the fact that Sony is such a huge corporation (marketing countless products and not just games), do you really think they will be destroyed by having to pay that amount of money?

Plus, they might even get off anyway (people with money tend to).

Square-Enix (here we go again...): They are STILL making games for PS2 (FF XII and Dragon Warrior VIII to name a few), so evidently they're not too worried about this.

DaRkCaT21: Yet, they're still selling PS2s here...

Let's face it people. Sony is still leading the game market, and this lawsuit, like the ones against Microsoft and Blockbuster Inc, isn't going to hurt them at all.

Sorry for bumping this, but I didn't see anybody who posted this. The court did grant an injunction to Sony. Until the patent suit is resolved, Sony can still sell the dual shock system here. It only effected the controllers and fourty games, not the system itself. It's not a serious threat that I see. Nintendo's already won a case with the same company. Microsoft just threw money at them and made them go away.

Yes it did not effect the system itself, but all the system units were/are sold with a dual-shock controller so if they lose they have to take current PS2 units off the shelves permanently and re-ship them without dual-shock controllers, which could possibly result in the next Playstation being delayed since if they lost, they'd have to take the time to design a new controller that works with all current PS2 games and get the affected games redesigned (or stop selling them). That's if they lose the suit of course; if they win or settle out of court (most likely), no worries.

Well if they are pulling the PS2s off the shelves then they are doing a real poor job of it. I went to Wal-Mart today and saw new PS2s there.

I get the feeling that Sony will just buy the controller from the one suing them. I mean that design has been with Sony since the PS (and since the PS it had the PS1, the PS2 and the PSTwo, as well as stamping it all over their PSP stuff) and I really don't think they will be changing it.

im not on sonys side, but thats just silly, immersion just waited until sony made alot of money from the controllers and then sued when theyd make the most moeny from it...i mean it did take pretty long to decide to sue...

EDITED BY TRIFORCE89: Yeah, the censors work, but please just don't swear in the first place. And don't use "gay" in a demeaning way.

Won't effect Australia. The patent is registered in a couple other countries, but the company doing it isn't big enough to go after Sony elsewhere. If they win here, though, that could be a different matter.
Being aussie, im glad it wont hurt me....but im sad for all the Americans who are affected....:(


Thanks to Andy/Arcanine for the great banner above ^_^

I am just so very curious as to HOW they ripped off the controller...from who? They made the controller for Gran Turismo 2! 2! Why wait until now is the question cause they already have the Dual Shock 2! I mean come on the Dual Shock 2 is the BEST Controller out there. You guys do realize they will just make a controller similar to the Dual Shock and no one will be hurt. Not only that I have 4 slightly new Dual Shock Controllers and my PS2 is still in great condition. It is to late to have any affect on the sales for Sony and with the PSP and E3 comming up it doesn't matter.

Well, they brought this up a few years ago, but I guess it just took a long while to resolve it.

That's your opinion. If you ask me, the Xbox has the best controller, and the PS2 has the worst. But hey, to each his own.

And I like the N64 one. *gets garbage thrown at him* What? I do. It fits hands much better then the others in my opinion...

So then maybe the question is: Will Sony come out with another controller similar to the Dual Shock? Do you think that they will say anything about this matter at this coming E3?
