Lik Sang shutdown due to Sony lawsuits!!!
http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3901

Oh my god!!! What's next? PlayAsia?

die man if PA no more...
why sony wanna sue this and that... ppl selling genuine products also still wanna sue

Profit is what Sony wants they just don't care about others

Basically if they shut down people who sell to European customers, then they can control the inadequet supply of PS3s to the US and Japan and ensure that they reach the proper hands of the proper customers.

Aiiii....

IMHO .. the sued is not necessary. Europe gamers want it fast .. so they go buy it from Lik-Sang. I dun see any wrong about that. Even we do that also ... we want the game fast .. we goto PA.

y this thread in xbox ?
lolx

Well, they name themselves 'Lik Sang', they kinda pawn themselves before Sony did.

just hope that PA wont be the next..if not then cham lor....

Sony really NBTD.. like this also they wanna disturb ppl rice bowl..

When Lik Sang got sued for selling mod chips by the console companies I understood the reasoning behind it. But suing when they're actually selling legitamate items?

maybe next lawsuit will be about region coded discs. pal, ntsc, etc. sue us for playing region free pal games on ntsc asia sets. mwahahahaha burp

so sony is making their games region free. only that one region cannot sell their region games to other region.

so... whats the region free is for again?


i believe because sony getting higher profit with games sold to EU, thats why they trying to stop any companies bringing cheaper priced games to there.

whats interesting is how all sony EU taiko also buying stuff thru lik-sang.

I hope PA is safe for forever!!

If not then surely no happy for me

But think about it if play asia is safe then lik sang has been reoved from its list of competitors

actually PA was offline for quite sometime on monday noon when i was checking out on my live vision cam then during ccard confirmation whole site was offline so my order didnt make it. it says only offline for few minutes but it was longer so i just balik kampong after that. lucky system offline now still considering wanna buy vision cam or not

* maybe PA need to remove something before they ended up like liksang... who knows... "the truth is out there..."

lets take this opportunity to curse Sony kao kao

feck u SONY... curses "Pea @ss Tree" sales

Let's spam SONY with complaints about them on LIKSANG From there they might know lots of consumers are going against them. It's the least we can do for LIKSANG

Sony can call all their stupid exploding batteries!

Now SONY has provided a counter attack saying Lik Sang is a sour grape based on their actions.

Let's put it this way... the general response regrading them even THINKING of suing Lik Sang in the first place already had pretty bad responses.

Got the same email from Lik Sang in my inbox. Sad day indeed for the gaming community.

I have a hunch they will re-surface in another form (and hopefully more legally-insulated) one day.

the trully sucky part is that i no longer can log-in into my account. hopefully my previous order will reach safely (airmail fee shipping only )

well, maybe they move all their stocks to P-A, and they have a "Closing Sale" PAL gamers trully have it tough with VAT, import duties, late game releases and now this.

i am sure LS will be back. remember there is 1 time LS kena also? then they came back online so let's all wait for that time

hope some ppl will come up with a donation run thingy and do a sledgehammer on their latest addition....like what they did to the 360...sigh...

Oh.. that's pretty much confirmed already.

lik sang got many lives one. last time iirc, kena once by nintendo, then later resurface again under "different management" lol...

anyway, sony is getting a lot of bad presses lately, ie rootkits, overhyping peesss3 etc. this one is just another feather on its cap la...i dont think they care

SUCK FONY!!

this is 2nd time lik-sang close down... last time i remember is because of sony's mod chip...

Its called closing down and reopening without selling Sony products

But whether they will survive without selling Sony consoles is yet to be seen. Too many Sony fanboys around and they are a good source of money

Used to be a Sony fanboy myself

Interesting to note that Play Asia has also stopped taking pre-orders of anything related to PS3.

They playing it safe. They stopped taking orders for anything related to Sony and/or PS3 for Europe.

Which is good IMO. Don't want anything wrong with PA
