PSP THURSDAY

Not me. Portable gaming systems are for when you're younger. Consoles and computers are for when you really know how to game.

-apparently, from the launch numbers, adults don't seem to be interested in the portable sony playstation.
or don't feel like paying almost $300 to play a playstation on the go.

PSP has been deemed illegal in the U.S.

Sony fined $90 million, ordered to halt sale of PlayStation in US market

The company has been ordered to pay 90 million dollars in damages to a US tech company, Immersion Corp., but it will appeal the decision by a California federal court immediately, an SCE spokesman said.

Immersion, a California-based developer of digital touch technonogies, charged that Sony infringed on its technology that makes a game controller vibrate in sync with actions in the games being played, reports said.

PSP doesnt have force feedback so how is it that it is illegal?

It's not - dmcowen lacks reading comprehension.

The lawsuit is over the PlayStation and PlayStation2. The PSP, as you pointed out, does not rumble. Evidently, other companies like Microsoft, MadCatz, etc. all have licenses with this company.

It's another case of patent anything you dream up and license the heck out of it, a game Sony is familiar with, so I'm not sure exactly why they got caught up in this...

that is a really poorly written article. the PSP isn't covered by the injunction.
