Talking Get your PS3's now... they are gettin a temp ban hammer

LG has won a 10-day import ban on the games consoles from the civil court of justice in the Hague.

So if stock drops, buy low and sell high?

Wow, I didn't think they would win that. 10 days really doesn't ammount to much though IMO.

It can be enough to run inventory dry.

They aren't going to stop manufacturing. They just can't ship them. When the ban is lifted, inventories will be refreshed.

I have two, a slim and a CECHA01, so I don't expect to be buying one anytime soon

I dont think reselling them is a good plan, remember what happened when they first came out?

heh, my 2 friends stood in line, one sold his that night for 1200, the other waited till the morning and couldn't even get the price he payed.

unless this goes thru:

It is also seeking a ban in the US and has filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission (ITC).
