I'm no economist but companies have to keep in mind from day one that we are in a global economy. Trying to forcefully isolate markets rather than coming up with bottom-line uniform and regionally adjusted offers that, for the most part, boil down to having the same amount of value from anywhere seems very backwards and low.

What, is Sony gonna go on a vendetta against the import scene now and hunt down every site and store that offers it? =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Huh, check this out!

I wonder if some sort of a savelik-sang.com site was created by gamers, it'd make any difference. I imagine it'd require A LOT of donations, but hey, this effects hardcore gamers globaly so who knows.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok, I checked out the link and I have a better concept of this whole mess. Even though what Sony did is technically, and legally, right, I still feel like it was a shitty thing to do. They fucked over a market with a good chunk of demand for what seems like no particular reason. Lik-sang saw the opportunity and took advantage of it. (even though it came at a price). Like Acer mentioned, if lik-sang had no trouble providing PSPs to Europe then there was obviously enough of them to go around so what the hell Sony? What could have caused this delay then? I doubt marketing campaigns take 12 months to create. It seems like they just preformed in clumsy manner when it came to Europe and that's a pretty shitty reason to have to go through a delay.

How ya doing, buddy?
