    ... when Sony was sued by ... uh.. I think it was Atari over vibration inside of controllers? Something about Nintendo not getting sued because the N64's vibration feature was a peripheral and not built into the controller.

    This ring a bell with anybody? Now I'm kinda curious what happened.
