| Umm...Whats 'patent infringement'. From what I'm reading from you lot its something to do with the copyright of vibration in sonys controllers. I also find it stupid, after 10 years they decide to do it. | |||

| As has already been said, it didn't take them ten years, this is just the result of a long legal process (and legal processes when it comes to copyrights and technical documents and blah blah go on a loooong time). | |||

| It stands to reason that the trial took TEN YEARS. That is too fucking long for deliberations on something as easy as infringement and piracy. The court process wasn't started ten years ago. It was probably entered into the systems within the last two to five years. At that point, it would still be a lengthy bunch of hearings. Standing into that, there were quicker venues to go by (various US trade agencies will do the dirty work if it comes to that). It is fishy that they waited this long. 3 years really The simple fact is that they waited 7 years to levy charges is beyond me. It is rather silly what happened. There hasn't been a lengthy legal process, it is a drawn out court case that is being convuluted by the basic problems with this case. First off, internal trade disputes between American companies is kind of hard to work with. Because of internal laws doing protection of their own companies, SOA is a big problem. Owned by a multi-national coporation based in Japan, but held by American stock holders. Plus, it probably took a year to get this into a court hearing. Then the past two years have been deliberations and constant trials. And since trade law/copyright law/corporate law can become drawn out affairs...The appeal is going to save the PS2's ass  (edited by Ziffski on 03-30-05 07:38 PM) |

| Bet you the previous seven years was full of nice requests to license the technology... followed by terse requests... followed by pricing... followed by angry letters... followed by this. Very slow process if you're a patient set of folks. | |||

| I wonder what kind of effect this will have on the next generation PlayStation console? Maybe the DualShock 3 will just be the Dual 3, if you get what I mean. Not likely, but if it's wireless as well, they might actually consider it. (Ditching the rumble, that is.) Who knows. I don't think I'd miss the rumble in my controller TOO much... In other news... Sony delayed the press meeting at which they were going to reveal the PS3. It should have been tomorrow if everything went as planned, but maybe this whole fiasco has impacted it? Just merely speculation on my part. It's not like I can't just wait 47 more days to find out about it anyway.  (edited by Kirby PopStar on 03-31-05 02:54 AM) |

Originally posted by Colleen Also, don't forget that the original Dual Shock didn't come out until well after the initial PS's release (At least in the States), so it was probably not seven years at all. |

I doubt that Sony delayed it simply because of this.  They could have simply not announced Dual Shock and not raise any eyebrows. (Plus it would be a pretty weak excuse, although they had all month to have a conference.) |
