Lik-Sang, you will be missed. Sony flexes its muscles
The import junkies all know that Lik-Sang has been closed down thanks to multiple Sony lawsuits concerning sales across continents (mainly Europe) that break Trade Mark laws. Sales of the PSP. Yes, the PSP. You'd think Sony would love to let those puppies sell. But you know, you really have to wonder how much anti-Sony propaganda this creates. Just look at this quote from the press release: "The company is currently looking into available options to combat Sony's cynical attempt to disrupt the successful online business again, gain total market control, and garner publicity." Wow, now that's a slap in the face. Sony didn't rule in Sony's favor. Europe did. If Sony thought it was wrong, that's one thing (because really, it makes no sense), but if the judges of Europe deemed it wrong, then, well, perhaps Europe has a much stricter policy than we know. Heck, Lik-Sang "professional" representatives call Sony "The Empire".
They may have a great website, but come on, you can give Play-Asia a shot. And Lik-Sang, don't name names (near the bottom of the article, gents). We're not in the second grade. We don't care who bought what from you that works for Sony. Like we said -- they didn't rule against you. Europe did. While Sony did indeed file for the suit, which was a pretty lame move (even though I've never bought any import items -- don't really need to), it was the UK that ruled in their favor. Pretty soon, we're sure Lik-Sang will reopen for trade between America and Asia, but somehow filter out Europe. A shame, really, but Sony hasn't been all that kind to Europe lately anyway. In all, for shame, Sony. But just a little. This isn't a very good day for import gamers, but for everyone else, it's easy to shrug it off. And, really, Sony had to sue someone. They were sick of being on the receiving end -- wanted to reverse roles for once. It's a joke. Don't hate.
Oh! Have another taste of this news here. Now that's spin. Also makes Lik-Sang look like a bunch of blubbering crybabies.
