Sony shut down Lik-Sang

Hahah, oh Sony.

Anyways, that sucks. I hope Play-asia stays around.

I have no respect for corporate giants that bring down small businesses that are run by families and operate on positive word of mouth from their customers. All this shows is that Sony is a faceless tyrant whose cowardice shines brighter than it's ridiculous price tags.

If you want to know the real reason behind their terrible act, it's called displaced anger. It happens when you put out a ****ty handheld that stands no chance of success. And when you're unable to face the reality that you made a huge and utterly stupid mistake, you take out the nearest innocent company that does everything in it's power to help aid your wretched creation.

Sony, you've just lost a next generation customer. There's $600 you'll never see again. Owned.

I don't see any justifiable reason for Sony to close down Lik Sang. If they were selling pirated PSP games, or doing anything to damage Sony's reputation, or.....I Dunno.

Don't be naive, this has nothing to do with the PSP. Sony wants complete control over the number of PS3's released into Europe to strictly control and monitor the Blueray market.

It's a game.

oh....

But aren't there other companies like Lik Sang available? And still seems drastic to shut down 1 company because of that.

I think Lik Sang had become the largest importer/exporter of cross-region Sony systems. In the end I think they had to start somewhere, and they've started with Lik Sang.

Yes, it was one of the big three. All that's left is Play-asia (which is my favourite) and NCSX.
