Al parecer bastantes personas se han liado por la información que viene de Japón y por un mensaje en slashdot que no era del todo cierto. Al final ni pads, ni consola. Repito (copio y pego de la sentencia -por apelar)

En cristiano:
La corte impide a Sony manufacturar, usar, y/o vender o importar en los estados unidos el sistema infractor PlayStation, incluyendo sus consolas, controles dualshock y aquellos juegos que el jurado ha hayado en infracción.
De la nota de Reuters:
SCE said it will continue U.S. sales as the suspension order, which covers PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles, two game controllers and 47 software titles, will not go into effect before the appeal and because Sony will be paying compulsory licence fees to Immersion, an SCE spokeswoman said.
Traducido:
SCE dijo que continuará las ventas en los EEUU dado que la orden de suspensión, que cubre consolas PlayStation y PlayStation 2, dos controladores de juego y 47 títulos de software, no entrará en efecto hasta la apelación y porque Sony pagará un canon compensatorio a Immersion, dijo una portavoz de SCE.
Creo que más claro agua. Aun así lo más probable es que apelen y no pase nada, si acaso Immersion se quedará con el dinero, pero no creo que lleguen a retirar del mercado las consolas. Sobre la fecha de apelación ni idea.
