July 20^th, 2005 (3:29pm) - In London, Sony Computer Entertainment won a High Court injunction to prevent online store Nuplayer from selling imported Japanese PSP consoles, but started taking pre-orders for European PSPs at a reduced price.

Mr Justice Lawrence Collins ruled that Nuplayer had no arguable defence against Sony’s claim that the retailer was infringing trade marks.

He also issued a summary judgement ordering Nuplayer to pay substantial costs and damages, and to hand over any remaining stock along with details of profits, suppliers and the names and addresses of customers who purchased five or more PSP consoles.
