Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business

AKAImBatman writes "Thanks to Sony's heavy handed tactics, popular game importer Lik-Sang is closing its doors. All Lik-Sang customers are having their orders cancelled and refunded. Any attempt to place a new order redirects your web browser to the news of Lik-Sang's demise." From the announcement: "'Today is Sony Europe victory about PSP, tomorrow is Sony Europe's ongoing pressure about PlayStation 3. With this precedent set, next week could already be the stage for complaints from Sony America about the same thing, or from other console manufacturers about other consoles to other regions, or even from any publisher about any specific software title to any country they don't see fit. It's the beginning of the end... of the World as we know it', stated Pascal Clarysse, formerly known as the Marketing Manager of Lik-Sang.com. 'Blame it on Sony. That's the latest dark spot in their shameful track record as gaming industry leader. The Empire finally won, a few dominating retailers from the UK probably will rejoice the news, but everybody else in the gaming world lost something today.'" Many thanks to Sony for ruining it for the rest of us. I hope that your business model makes up for the customer goodwill you're lighting on fire today. Update: 10/24 21:34 GMT by Z : Eurogamer has Sony's response to Lik-Sang's accusations.

Re:Would it be too harsh...

I would think that's too harsh. Then again Sony uses their own batteries, so sooner or later their business will go up in flames anyway.

AND YET YOU HAVEN'T CANCELLED YOUR PS3 PREORDER...

One second...

Would you like to just temporarily remove those Sony salesman's genitals from your mouth and repeat what you just said? I couldn't understand you the first time...

Re:What's the alternative?

Good idea - could you give me a torrent link where I could download a PS3?

Let me tell you a story about cheap sunglasses. I was exporting a container of them from China to America. I asked the Chinese factory guy if they had UV protection. Well, there was some problem translating this, so we go back and forth for a while. Finally, the Chinese factory guy gets it, and his face lights up and he says, "Yes! We have sticker!"

True story.
