Sony PlayStation 3 Imports Temporarily Banned In Europe

Posted by Roblimo on from the acrimonious-patent-battles dept.

tekgoblin writes "Looks like Sony is in some trouble in Europe. LG recently complained about Sony and filed a US patent dispute over their Blu-ray technology. Now they have been granted a preliminary injunction in the matter in Europe. This injunction prevents the PlayStation 3 from currently being imported to Europe. For at least the next 10 days, every PlayStation that is imported will be seized by government officials."

  1. Now slap them with tax evasion by Khyber · · Score: 0, Troll

    After all they included OtherOS to be able to claim it as a general purpose computer and avoid a tax.

    Now its gone. Bet they're still not paying that tax to the EU.

    Did anyone else read the title and got their hopes up about the EU banning the PS3 because they took away the OtherOS option?
