| 1. Thousands of PS3s confiscated in the Netherlands |
| 2. Injunction explained |
| 3. Sony's statement |
So far, the Korean company has already won approval under EU law that will block all imports of PS3 units for ten days. On top of this, authorities have been given the go-signal to seize new units in warehouses. Actually, even those new units that are already installed in homes across the Netherlands may still be confiscated by the authorities, as per the court order.
So why the crackdown in the Netherlands? It's because that is the main entry point of the 100,000 stocks of PS3 units imported monthly to the European region. Customs officials of Rotterdam and Schiphol have also extended the blockade of entries on two shipments made last week. This injunction is most certainly causing a whole lot of damage to Sony's business, but unfortunately, this could also be just the beginning.

Your saying it's LGs and the courts fault Sony infringed patents, stealing other company's intellectual property?

But I seriously doubt it would come to that: I can't imagine they'd actually seize bought-and-payed-for units from people's homes. More likely they'd simply make Sony pay a fine or royalties on units sold.

Sony is going to have to answer a ton of complains of people who get their console taken away. Its their(sony) product not LG.

It's not GREAT that the PS3 units should be destroyed (recycled for sure)or does that mean the same thing?
Anyway...Its hard to comprehend how Ps3's already sold to people COULD be confiscated is beyond me!!!
It's not like they are a Health Hazard like exploding laptop batteries is it?????????
So theres SONY claiming that Geohot & party are UPTO NO GOOD.....and then this new info hits the press that SONY are UPTO NO GOOD!!!!!What a Fukin'JOKE all round....I buy stuff and I get stuff at no extra cost....But recently I haven't bought anything BRAND NEW for years...It's pointless....USED is just as practical...or more so......Hell of a lot cheaper too!
I dearly hope that this affair really damages SONY beyond redemption...they deserve it.

I'm pretty sure it's just a way for LG to take down sony and be the 1st in the industry....
For that case, I'm on the side of SONY.
