Sony not doing well in court effort to save the Dual Shock
We haven't heard much recently of Sony's court battle with Immersion Corp. to keep their Dual Shock controllers on the shelves in face of possible patent infringement. Turns out things aren't going so well, with a federal judge upholding throwing out a recent appeal by Sony to throw out the case, which relates to the controller vibration technology used in their Dual Shock units. There's no word yet how this will affect the much maligned "boomerang" mock up, but Sony only has one appeal left until they'll be forced to pay up the $90 million fine and even possibly remove the Dual Shock from shelves. In better news, Sony might be trotting out some more info on the PS3 soon, since they just opened what is traditionally a developers-only meeting on Wednesday to the media. We'll keep you posted on what goes on there, but we sure would love a solid launch date.
