[News] Ahahaha (lik-sang's CLOSED)

Cetra--thanks for that link, because it clearly states that there's a lot of ambiguity regarding parallel importing, and it's not a clear-cut thing at all.

The weirdest part about this whole debacle to me is the fact that all those Sony Europe bigwigs imported PSPs from Lik-Sang. I mean, what kind of signal are you sending? "Don't sell these things anymore, okay? In the meantime, I'll have one." I'm guessing that Lik-Sang saw this as a sign that they wouldn't go so far as to sue to the point where they had to shut down.

On the other hand, perhaps Sony thought that they would just comply with the C&D, and when they didn't, they felt like they had to sue in order for their integrity to remain intact.

Regardless of their intentions, the result of their actions has further amplified the already hostile atmosphere among all but the most hardened of Sony fans. It just doesn't seem like good business, and I really don't see Sony doing all that well this upcoming generation. The writings were already on the wall (supposed "exclusive PS3" titles are suddenly appearing for 360 also, delays in Europe, lack of buzz in Japan), and I know several people are not getting a PS3 because of this, as unreasonable as that is.

I wasn't going to get a PS3 or a PSP anyway, but then again, I hate Sony.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
