Sony Europe Sues Datel

Some gamers (especially in the homebrew community) have been wondering what happened to Datel's "Lite Blue Tool" battery that would allow users to put their PSPs in service mode (which is the only way to unbrick a PSP). As it turns out, Datel is being sued:

The British firm triumphantly announced that it had cracked the mysterious encryption preventing homebrew from running on the new PSP back in November. However, as of January 2009, the device has not appeared in shops. Last week, Datel quietly removed any reference to the “Lite Blue Tool” from its website

Portable Video Gamer has more information on the lawsuit.
