Lik-Sang out of business

Post by Geebs61 »

I looked around, and couldnt find anything on this. Turns out Lik-Sang is shutting its doors due to multiple Sony Lawsuits. Is this going to be a blow to imports and bleeding edge gaming? Or can the world get along without it? I know I am gonna miss their in depth reviews of their items, on the inside, and out.

Personally I think this is petty and trite, which sort of makes me dislike Sony. I never had any problem with them before, and I have always exhibited indifference towards them and their products, but now I might just discontinue any further purchase of their gaming platforms... Not that I have a bunch already.

yeah, I just heard. This is really sad news. Lik-sang has been on a down slope since nintendo made them remove "backup" devices, though.

I guess this means I'll have to look a little harder if I want a gameking package...

wrote:but also Sony Europe's very own top directors repeatedly got their Sony PSP hard or software imports in nicely packed Lik-Sang parcels with free Lik-Sang Mugs or Lik-Sang Badge Holders, starting just two days after Japan's official release, as early as 14th of December 2004 (more than nine months earlier than the legal action). The list of PSP related Sony Europe orders reads like the who's who of the videogames industry, and includes Ray Maguire (Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Alan Duncan (UK Marketing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Chris Sorrell (Creative Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Rob Parkin (Development Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited), just to name a few.

I hope there's a closing sale! :D But man, this does suck. Sony's turning into the Apple of the video game industry. Lik-sang was always my favorite (over Play-Asia that is) and it's a real shame it's gone. RIP, Lik-sang.com! :cry:
