Sony has said it will use the “full scope of the law” to block the importing of PlayStation 3s (PS3) into Europe before its official release.
The much-anticipated games console goes on sale in the US and Japan next month but is not out in Europe until 2007.
Last week a British judge ruled that Taiwanese import/export firm Lik-Sang could not sell the Japanese version of Sony’s handheld PSP in Europe.
The case sets a precedent for would-be importers of PlayStation 3 consoles.
A spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) told the BBC: “The law is clear, and grey importing PS2, PSP or PS3 into the EU, without the express permission of SCEE is illegal.
