EUROPEAN UNION RULES AGAINST THE VERY EXISTENCE OF PLAYSTATION3
LG corporation has filed a patent complaint against Sony – and the European court has temporarily ruled in LG’s favour. This means “all new PS3s have to be confiscated” as they enter the EU.
Basically, the Brussels bureaucrats are earning their salaries for once and doing something more useful than arguing about the metric system. Here’s a photograph illustrating one fantastic LG brand:
Read actual facts about the amazing European PlayStation3 EMBARGO over on the Guardian. Thousands of PS3s have already been seized by our glorious European leaders! Waterboard the pieces of shit until their warranties expire.

Wow, screw the Western sanctions against Gaddafi’s regime, this is where the real embargo’s at!
Still, unlike the seized Libyan assets these PS3’s aren’t worth shit so nobody of significance will be affected.

“If the injunction was extended it could mean consoles disappearing from high street shelves”
Yeah, well it isn’t gonna happen any other way, is it?

Now we just wait for the PS3 kristallnacht, when all assimilated PS3s are dragged from their homes in the night and shipped to concentration camps…

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the PS3
Well at least I voted no to the Lisbon Treaty

I’ve not laughed so much as when I first read this news… Sony will probably count all the impounded ones as being sold in their next load of sales figures though.
