    Someone want to explain this to me??

    Here's a hook for those who are otherwist too lazy to want to read anything:

    "The Oakland, California, court also ordered an injunction stating that Sony is to immediately stop selling the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, both versions of the Dual Shock controllers, and 47 games found to use the vibration technology, including Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Gran Turismo 3".


    http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/03...s_6121137.html


    so if the appeal (and probable another appeal after that if anyone will still take the case) fails, that means no more dualshock controllers can be sold ever again (in the US)?

          Wow. Immersion is full of idiots. Why not sue Nintendo as well? They made the Rumble Pak for N64.

              Wow, I didn't even know making vibrations with a controller could be copyrighted.
              Money hungry idiots.

                  Nintendo probably paid the necessary funds to the company for the use of its product. That's why they don't sue Nintendo.

                  Blitz - Not copyrighted; patented. You don't copyright hardware -.-

                  And we all know patents are hardcore. You can't just try to slip by them and not expect someone to take legal action.

                      it's taken 3 years to get this far...so it will probably be another 3 until the appeals get all worked out.
                      I'll trade you this delicious doorstop for your crummy old danish.
                      Done, and done.
