So, they fail to argue their case successfully and the judge throws it out but, admits if they would have placed their argument in a different context (complete with example), that he would have heard the case? BS. Is this similar to courts preventing say Samsung from selling their products because another company, say Apple, claims they are infringing on a patent? All before hearing the argument? Someone is on the take...

The case was argued from three angles...the judge ignored 2 of the when making is ruling, and didn't even bother to mention them because Sony didn't even bother to deny the claims. Dirty judge, dirty system.
I'll never buy anything from Sony again.

They should have judges who know about technology working on these type of cases. I bet the bastard has never turned a ps3 on.

Even the example the judge gave was lame. The car wasn't disabled or unable to go on this wonder course they described, nor was it said that the battery pack could be re-enabled. Obviously, something that you can't do with Sony products with any ease.
The judge is an idiot & with this cell phone camera world they should have had someone taking pictures of him taking the 8x10 envelope bloated with all the cash in it. Maybe Anon should hack that server & get those pix. You know Sony took those to hold over the judges head in case he gets cold feet.

They should have pointed out some of the games that can only be played online. In the case of those games, PSN is not an added bonus, but a feature required to play the game.
