didn't Sony already pay 122.5 million if not more for the controller lawsuit to immersion...everyone is out to get rich off of a patent nowadays and its sounds right about Sony being sued like 20-30 times in the usa probably many people make a standard living by doing nothing except suing people there. I wish i would of took out a few patents myself on unlrelated things and made the conection probably better payouts than stocks if living in the usa.

WTF! Oh come on! These lawyers and their reps sound like a bunch of 5-year olds wanting a single piece of candy! SHEESH! Does it REALLY matter who got what as long as everyone is happy? Guess not. They need to go back to kindergarten where there apparently never grew up. Good grief!! - BLUEBOY

Sony PS3 is not supported globally. They try not to solve the problem of the consumer. In sep'08 I had bought a PS3 from Fortress in HongKong for my son. The same stopped working after 3/4 months. My attempt to get the same serviced in India failed as they do not service the same and they do not have any policy of replacing the same in India. So when you get a Sony product be careful and check the local market where you want to use whether they will support the same. My money went down the drain. In contrast, a company like Apple just changed my iPod Touch in their Service station in India though I purchased the same in New York. They even did not ask for the invoice/bill to prove the purchase. "Be Careful When you buy a SONY product".
