The gaming world was rocked today by news that the popular Hong-Kong based Import service, Lik-Sang, has stopped all operations and closed down.

The reason is because Sony do not want any European gamers to get their hands on the PS3 before launch and filed a law-suit against the company.

The company sighted Sony as the perpatrators for this and in a final statement have condemned Sony and named several directors who used Lik-Sang to buy PSPs several years ago.

So, what do you think?

:shock: Thats pretty damn harsh. If they didn't want them to sell the PS3 in EU then why not just restrict them, do something that means that if Lik-sang do sell any PS3's they will be sued. Not shut the whole company down

That is very bad by Sony, Lik-Sang have been great! and is uncalled for by Sony...and they make like one mistake I think sueing them would be enough...

I just checked Lik-sang's site. They agree with this news.

So I guess that its confirmed--they shutdown. :wink:

And it isn't a good day for people waiting for PS3s either in Europe.

umm... I just looked at the lik-sang website... It's still up, why would a company that's shut down's website still be up?

Cabe · 10-31-2006, 08:16 AM

not up for me

It's down. Oh well, I guess I can't pay $20 extra for shipping when I can wait a month and get it for a better price.

OKay, now it's down for me, I just get the out of buisness message now, that sucks, oh well, they were overpriced, IMO.
