    PS3 console imports banned!!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12607370

    European customs officers have been told to seize all shipments of PlayStation 3s (PS3), following a patent row between Sony and LG.

    LG has won a 10-day import ban on the games consoles from the civil court of justice in the Hague.

    The long-running dispute between the two tech firms centres around the playback facility for Blu-Ray discs.

    Custom officials in Holland have already seized tens of thousands of PS3s, according to reports.

    Might be worth saying this is for the consoles and not the games, you had me worried for a minute!
