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.

While nobody denies that there is a substantial markup built into the price of a pair of Nikes, my point was simply that the $20 pair of sneakers the grandparent was referring to are even more shoddily-made, and are constructed of lower-quality materials. While the expensive name-brand shoes are certainly overpriced, the truth is that they are in fact better shoes than a bargain-brand at WalMart. They more properly support your foot, are made of better materials, and will hold up to more wear.

Also, as far as I know, Saucony running shoes are made in the USA. They are expensive, and they are great shoes, worth every penny.
