Too bad Sony didn't want to partner up with this one. As the original Connectix PA said, they lose money on the actual boxes, it's in the games that they make profit.
So here they have this audience of ravenously hungry gamers who could go out and buy a bunch a games. Probably controllers to, if they had UDB versions of them.
But no, like so many IP freakouts, this isn't about partnering, it's about protecting. And IP law is so screwed up that if you don't protect like a madman, you can set precedent to lose it. Ick.
My prediction is that they'll at least win the injunction.

Actually, I would have meant Universal Database if anything. But yes, I meant USB.
