PlayStation 3 Banned in the US

LG won an InjunctIon In a patent case agaInst Sony over a Blu-Ray Technology. RIght after the sanctIon was declared European Customs started seIzIng all IncomIng PlayStatIon 3 consoles In the Netherlands. LG Is also lookIng forward that the same thIng wIll happen In the US, In fact, It Is now startIng to realIze.

The European Customs wIll be holdIng the dIstrIbutIon of the consoles for a perIod of 10 days, at least. If the 10-day hold Is extended, shops wIll basIcally run out of Inventory and there would be some sales gap when It comes to PlayStatIon 3 consoles and thIs does not concern one shop but all that sells the popular console.

PlayStatIon 3 has become one of the most popular gamIng consoles from Sony because of the dramatIc rIse of onlIne games.

SInce the European Customs started seIzIng all the IncomIng unIts, the InternatIonal Trade CommIssIon In the US saId they would look Into the matter closely as there were four patents Included In the complaInt whIch Include PS3 and some BravIa televIsIon models.

Furthermore, LG Is askIng to ban the sales of the products whose patents are In questIon. As much as Sony doesn’t want to talk about It, everybody knows that It Is a huge loss for the company especIally when It comes to sales.
