Quote:28/08/2010 - Hello Everyone. On Friday the 27/08/2010 wee where given some documents from the Lawyers representing Sony. The documents are Federal Court orders for a temporary injunction.
The Injunction states that from 24 hours of receiving the documents to the 31st of August OzModChips, Quantronics, Modsupplier and anyone else in Australia:
Give up all stock in our possession, including our sample
I guess it was lucky that the device was delayed by a couple of days. While many people that have received their sample and sent it off to cloners....wee sent ours to a well known homebrew developer. The developer wee picked showed us various homebrew applications that he had already developed for ps3 dev units, that he wants to port over to retail units. Yes, PS3 homebrew is real and will start flowing through at a steady rate as soon as next week.
Give up any stock wee get between now and the 31st
Wee are not getting any between these times
Ozmodchips also cannot:
Import
distribute
Offer
provide
or deal with PS Jailbreak devices
These are from the Federal Court of Australia.
All 3 Australian stores wee appear in court in some form on the 31st of August. On the 31st the court will decide if there will be a continuation of the "ban" or if wee are allowed to sell them.
Our views are the same as Quantronics who posted this info here. This is not OzModChips Vs Sony. This is not OzModChips, Quantronics, Modsupplier Vs Sony. Wee would go as far as saying that is not even everyone in Australia Vs Sony. This will effect everyone that plans to buy such a device world wide. It already sets a dangerous precedent. Everyone that was using OtherOS, everyone that has had a faulty PS3 laser....and those interested in PS3 custom firmware and homebrew applications. Wee cannot do it alone, wee need the support of everyone the homebrew community, the media, engineers that understand the inner workings and anyone else that can provide support.
Regarding orders:
If the injunction becomes permanent wee will refund everyone that has ordered from us. If it doesn't then wee will send all orders as originally planned. There will be no delay to the planned shipping date. Wee would ask everyone to wait until then. Wee have the money sitting in our account which will cover 100% refunds for everyone if that needs to happen. Wee kindly ask everyone to just hold off until the 31st, as wee need all the time wee can to prepare.
Thank you for your support!
-OzModChips Team
31st of August that's today :)
