Patent law is totally fubared. There are companies out there that do nothing but collect ridiculous patents, while producing nothing but lawsuits.

My guess is Sony was well aware of this, and plan to fight it in court or settle it.

This isn’t really a big deal, its just Big Business as usual.

sony diserved this. With any luck, blu-ray will be removed, and the BS3 will be 600 dollars cheaper. get a 360 instead.

HAHAAHAHAHA. I’d love to know how this can happen, I mean… are there people in the Sony camp that are supposed to look this stuff up?

Or was it just pushed to completion quickly?

On one hand, I’m like “holy crap, you guys didn’t catch this?” on the other I’m like “patents are allowed to be so vague I’m not surprised.”

And, it seems, big companies don’t always win in patent wars, so this is really in question.

I cannot wait to see how it shakes out.
