^ defiantly, this may relate to Blu-ray but is far more reaching than that with a lot more companies and tech, besides you forgot to mention that all the HD-DVD companies are cited too.

Here's what Gamasutra and Reuters (who broke the story) say...

I generally enjoy interweb controversy, but was just taking this from Gamespot since I saw it there first. It would appear all the articles are slanted against Sony. Gamasutra had the best headline.

The patent system is a joke and really just needs to be eliminated.
