Nice. I hope sony goes bankrupt.

Sony fail, they brought this upon themselves.

Just a stupid fight between two companies. I am tired of seeing Sony trying to sue everyone though.

This is my prediction:

The guy who owns Sony quits and gives his job to a hobo

The hobo finds a way to make it legal to sell illegal drugs through PS3

After years of PS3 being a drug circle, the hobo will overdose on something and die

Then someone because the new owner of Sony and rebuilds it to something amazing, where the community is cared about.

I hope Sony looses this and something good happens :]
