Looks like Sony should stop worrying about hackers and worry about LG. One thing that I worry about is will us as the customers of Sony be affected.

Wow, I think LG is being retarded.
The PS3 shouldn't be banned anywhere, anyways, I think it won't. That's a complete off-topic suggestion, from what I think.

Actually I think its a good thing. Sony did violate patent laws. This should put Sony in their place. BTW, the PS3 won't be banned.
