Daystar Clarion: Did I miss something? Are PS3s illegal in the UK now?[/b]
I beleive Sony has some kind of patent trouble with LG in EUrope in general, so while that is settled there is an embargo on PS3. Having one is no rpobelm, but htey can't import new ones. Here and here are te news.
There is news that LG has successfully obtained an injunction against Sony for its patent infringement over Blu-ray players, preventing them from importing PS3s in Europe through Amsterdam, if I'm not mistaken. Technically, they can import them from another point in Europe, but it's going to be costly.
The joke is that there could potentially be a shortage of PS3s in Europe, I think.

And as a result, "smuggling" will be profitable. because when a supply dries up, people LOOOOOOOVE to pay top dollar just to have something.
Man, I can only say: ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch...Hope those are the slim models...
Did I miss something? Are PS3s illegal in the UK now?
Am I breaking the law playing Valkyria Chronicles? Am I going to be someone's prison bitch?
I'm too British for prison!
In short it deals with a Lawsuit between LG and Sony over copy-right infringement over Blu-Ray players. And as Hankman said, they're only illegal in the Netherlands as of now.
Secondly, you are indeed too british for prison. I have something else in mind.

It rubs the lotion on its skin unless it gets the hose again!!!!
