Sony's Win a Major Blow for Importers

Joan Cross writes "Sony won a battle in the UK Courts over the importing to Europe of Playstation Portables by Lik Sang. They say that 'Ultimately, we're trying to protect consumers from being sold hardware that does not conform to strict EU or UK consumer safety standards, due to voltage supply differences et cetera'. Of course, the PSP comes supplied with a 100-240v adapter which is safe worldwide. Lik Sang has posted their reaction to the court decision. Could be bad news for those wanting PS3 Consoles on import."

Friends dont let friends buy Sony

[viking80]

I keep posting the "Friends dont let friends buy Sony" comment on most Sony related articles.

I now wonder if Sony are monitoring me. They certainly are modding these posts flaimbait consistently. Are they going through my thrash, and obtaining my phone records as well?

Anyway I boldly repeat here again: Much of the money you spend buying Sony gear goes to support anti consumer efforts from DRM, Infected CD's, Unusable due to DRM Blu-Ray HD-DVD. They may actually help kill the entire HD DVD effort.

Fellow /.ers, help me fight aganst the evil Sony agents and mod this up.
