Sony responded, "The purchasing of PSP consoles by SCE employees would be for investigatory purposes. We would also like to express our surprise at a company releasing personal information about its consumers, as this is contrary to data protection principles around the world."

So if I were to buy a ps2 and purchase a modchip for it, when Sony came knocking on my door could I claim that I purchased the modchip for investigatory purposes so it's ok? Sounds like they think they are the judge and jury all in one.

 

[OrR]

That's it. Sony has to die.

 

[5uck3rpunch]

I will also boycott Sony. Shit, I dunno the last time I bought ANY Sony product. They haven't been near the top for products in YEARS. F them. The best thing to do is BUY & PROMOTE the Wii so Nintendo will shove Sony's dicks in the dirt!

 

[stinkingbob]

Sony does suck fat dick. I will never purchase a sony product again. I was going to get a PS2, but now, fuck em. I am taking my money to Nintendo.
But you know, that ruling will hurt all these other stores that sell modded, chipped or hoome dev kits. You bet divineo, modchipstore, foundmy, etc will be the next to get the axe. So guys, if you are going to buy some nds or game console dev kits, buy it now cuz I bet those assholes will se them out of business to.

This part really gets me. I'm going to be sony hating for a long time for sure...investigatory purposes....what a pile of crap. Probably investigatory for their developers to run isos off memory sticks on psps as well (no, not because it runs faster, saves more power). I am hopefully that the ps3 will fail now because this is just bad conduct for a company of this size...I deal with this everyday @ work as well and I'm sick of seeing bigger companies pulling this crap on small companies just because they can.

Oh **** I still have around $70 store credit at Lik-Sang and I can't be refunded by Paypal because it doesn't work in my country gess I will ask for a refund by bank transfer which will have fees.

Anyway it's sad to see Lik-Sang closing just because of being barred from selling Sony products in UK only. But there are still good stores out there like Play-Asia

 

[dimsum411]

Closing down independant retailers should be banned from capitalism, and the only way we can make this heard is through boycott.
I stumbled upon a nice copy-pastable text we can all use while writing to our good friends at sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Thank you, Anonymous.

Hello sony,

It has come to my attention that your legal attacks against the online retailer lik-sang.com has lead to its closure. I had supported this retailer in the past, and some of their items lead me to purchase more sony products.

Due to your unethical legal attacks on them, I have decided to boycott your company. I have been a gamer for my entire life, so this is no small commitment.

I look forward to the games of your competitors, and hope you fail.

Of course, if you never were a customer, or don't want to boycott, disregard that, etc, etc.
I'm personally ashamed I bought Shadow of the Colossus. (it was a disappointing game anyway)

Shadow of the Colossus was disappointing? It was like Zelda, without the tedious dungeons.

But I digress, Sony can take their shiny box and shove it!

 

[leetdood]

I've gotta say.. this looks like their plan. Otherwise, I can't possibly imagine their plan for the PS3. They've made so many mistakes in the last year that I can't just imagine them as a corporation anymore. Bastards.

 

[blackeromegalon]

Nice job Sony, enjoy the increased amount of piracy now that one of the largest video game import shops is now closed.

 

[santakuroosu]

Even though I am sad that Lik-Sang had to shut down, they were aware that Sony was onto them for selling PSPs to other regions.
They decided to go with the "We're in Hong Kong, you can't touch us!" approach instead of playing it safe.
Bad move Lik-Sang.
Why not just stop selling Sony porducts if you disliked them?

 

[zombolo]

That's ABSURD!

I hate now any sony-related item. Boycott Ps3!

 

[SectionX]

sony sucks that's for sure.

Why didn't they go after othersites like Play-Asia (or did they do that)?

@ Sony acting like they did it for the consumers.

 

[xlinkinpakx]

Oh no!  First play-asia stopped shipping PSP titles to europe and now that ... 

I really hate Sony for doing these things! Good choice I already made the decision to never buy a $ony product again after they announced that the lawsuit will propably take liksang down and also that I immediately stopped buying games for my PSP (cancelled three pre-orders). Even better that I didn't buy that much games for my PSP in the first place!! Those goddamn morons! I'm about to smash this thing to pieces ...

Welll At least its easy to smash because its a psp, one shot would be more then enough...
