I really don't know anything about the subject, but I imagine some could consider it a trademark infringement (but can something be considered a trademark infringement if it has no negative effect on the holder? ie. fair use laws). Unless you're selling playstations on the site I doubt they'd care. Look at http://xboxcheats.com/ for example, obviously a 3rd party site earning ad revenue but not hurting microsoft or the xbox brand in any way. At the top it says "an Xbox.com partner site", maybe that has some legal significance? |
on xbox.com there is a section with popular fan sites that have cheat codes, walkthroughs, forums, etc..
pretty much any site that helps promote the XBOX brand in a good way, will be left alone. Now if you're site is how to mod the Xbox/360 or how to gain free access to xbox live, etc... then you'll most likely be sued. I myself own two 360 sites, both mod related but they're not active
