More news on Sony getting in trouble with patent claims. This time it’s LG who has requested the block of all Playstation 3 consoles from being shipped to Europe, and U.S . 

“LG argues that Sony PS3s infringe a number of its patents relating to playback of Blu-ray Discs. LG called for an investigation into the PS3′s Blu-ray use in a filing with the US international trade commission earlier this month, and said it sought a “permanent exclusion order … excluding entry into the United States” of the games console.

If Sony is found to have infringed LG patents, it could be forced to compensate the South Korean manufacturer for each PS3 it has sold around the world, which could cost hundreds of millions of pounds.”

Sony better come up with a PS4 soon or they might end up losing more than what they bargained for. Check out more details below.
