However, after reading the literature that was presented to me, it sounds more like both parties (Sony &amp; Immersion) have accepted defeat and that Sony and Microsoft both own parts of Immersion. I agree with Sony's appeal that the technology that was used in the DualShock controllers was similar, but wasn't the same. However, I commend you on your research and have decided to award you compensation of <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/5517/81931404ke8.png" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">5 random upvotes</a> for my lack of research further into this case. I did read aboot this while it was happening, but the last I had heard was that Sony and Immersion had come to an agreement. Kudos!]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Matoogs @ 5/16/2008 2:37:24 AM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/games/l/62007/1/atom0_3.rss#q8" /><id>258559</id><summary><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/games/l/62007/1/#q6"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>punthe</b> : Spoke too soon.
