Because they didn't pay the dual shocks!!

Well that takes out every PS2 (and PSTwo) out there. Beacuse all Play Stations 2s have a Dual Shock 2 Analog Controller (the 2 stands for the second model because it's lighter and came out with the PS2) in the box with the system.Kip-kip said:Only Playstations and Playstation 2's with the dualshock controllers(whatever they are) are gone. Which really doesn't make a difference if almost every gamer has a PS2. That's why Xbox is turning out to be the bestseller every month. This makes me happy because I never really liked Sony.

If you ask me then them PSTwo's won't be shipped back. I mean the Wal-Mart in my town had like 20 or 25 PSTwo's on the shelves I got there a Sunday (they were stocked, there wasn't any room for anymore) and that's when I got mine. I came back to the same Wal-Mart 2 days later and they had only 5 PSTwo's left. With the way the PSTwo gets sold off the shelves they will be sold off before they get a chance to get shipped back.Flaming Torchic said:Yeah, but what about the PS2's that were shipped to stores prior to that ruling? I don't think it said anything about taking off all of the PS2's that are already on shelves.
Meh, I'm probably wrong though. ;x
The PS2's on the shelves will probally get pulled. Sony is paying back for all the controllers sold in the US, I guess, and they wouldn't want to pay more so they would pull them off the shelves. I guess. :\Flaming Torchic said:Yeah, but what about the PS2's that were shipped to stores prior to that ruling?

Microsoft makes like $1 billion in a day. (exaggerated) What's a lawsuit going to do to them? :( :( :(PIKA2 said:Now where's the Microsoft lawsuit? =D

Maybe if Windows was stolen from someone and they had to pay that person money for all copies of Windows bought and installed in the world. That'd be more money than the US Treasury prints in a year.Kip-kip said:Microsoft makes like $1 billion in a day. (exaggerated) What's a lawsuit going to do to them? :( :( :(
Exactly, they act as if they stole the controller design from someone else, which isn't the case which such a small fee.Shinin said:Why is everyone here anti-Sony? PS2 is awesome. Stop being idiot Nintendo fanboys (or fangirls).
But I still like it when a big company loses money. I just hate big companies. Doesn't matter if I like their products or not, I hate big companies. I know I'm weird. I like the XBox and want to get the Xenon, Xbox 360, XboxNext, or whateverbox, but I still hate Microsoft. I want to get the PSP and the PS3 when that comes out, but I still hate Sony. I want to own a big company, but I don't want to work with a big company, just a small one. I'm weird.Brittany said:Exactly, they act as if they stole the controller design from someone else, which isn't the case which such a small fee.
They have to pay for all the controllers sold. That means, whatever they infringed, be it the whole controler or the X button, they have to pay the company for all of the controllers sold in the US area of jurisdiction.Brittany said:How would you know what patent they infringed? For all you know, it could be the shape of the grippy rubber parts on the top of the analouge sticks. It's $90.7 mil, if they actually stole the entire controller design(XD) it would be much more, so please quit jumping to conclusions.
So, even though it is not the whole controller, it is a massive part of the controller that gives it its name and without it, the controller would be another plain controller.https://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/03/28/news_6121137.html said:The tiff involves Immersion's technology that creates the "rumble" feature that causes controllers to vibrate in sync with events in games. The court found in favor of Immersion's claims that Sony's Dual Shock controllers, the standard sticks for Sony's PlayStation and PlayStation 2, and several of its games infringe on two of its patents.
Please stop flaming people by calling them idiots for liking certain systems more than others. And let's see, this is a Pokemon forum and Pokemon is on a Nintendo system so, yes, I beleive a lot of us are avid Nintendo fans.Shinin said:Why is everyone here anti-Sony? PS2 is awesome.
