They gotta pay up 90 million dollars to Immersion (10% owned by MS).

That is all. Good bye.

immersion also sued MS but MS was smart and settled out of court.. for a LOT less money.

If sony would have done this they could have done the same.

Nintendo was the only smart one and paid for the license to use the rumble feature from the get-go

So f***ing gay. Why cant they just give those guys a percentage of the sales? I dont know if sony did it on purpose but this just f***s us up, more or less. Its not like *sissy voice* Immersion *sissy voice* is going places.

F*ckers.

while 90million. This whole trial has cost them so much.

MS paid, Nintendo paid I have no idea why sony would screw themselves.

90 million is nothing for sony. They probably make billions a day.

They didn\'t just sue for the Dual Shock technology. The court is also making them stop sales on various games that use the technology, which is 100% f^cking B.S.

Fully agreed

Well, there\'s no use in hurting the sales of game companies that used the vibration function for their games. It\'s not their damn fault. Stupid ass court system...

this will blow over and it wont make a difference. we wont even see it affect sales or sony for that matter.

My point was that they make so much money that 90 million is probably nothing to them.

Seeing as they\'re a multi-billion dollar a year corporation, I think it\'s safe to say you\'re right.

Why don\'t they just buy Immersion... hehe.
