Secondly, the generalizations need to stop. First, Sony sued Lik-Sang for importing PSPs specially to the UK not to the entire world. Second, the suit does not cover the concept of games. Importing games that cannot be obtained in your region is not illegal and no legal action has ever been taken by Sony or anyone else in attempts to prevent this.

Thanks for the info Cetra. You seem to be the only one here with an opinion AS WELL AS KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK IS REALLY GOING ON. Jesus it annoys me when people generalize shit into "OMG <3 lik-sang I HATE SONY"

Proof please?

Different release dates?

Anyway, as for my own opinion I could care less about lik-sang. Never ordered from them, I'm not much into imports (read: I've never imported). It's clear Sony won the case, so I don't see this as bad mark for them. However, cheaply ripping off the concept of the Wii controller is a different story.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wow that's not biased at all.

So you're saying I need to personally use and care for the counterparty in order to be unbaised? MMMMKAY. I'm glad you're not involved with the justice system.

Judge: Hmmm..... raise your hand if you've used Lik-Sang and enjoy the company and it's service. OK, you're all on the jury!

I defend Sony because the court defends Sony.

How ya doing, buddy?
