News is that Sony pressured liksang to close down for good. Not just cancel the ps3 pre-orders.

In its statement today announcing its closure, Lik-Sang also included a list of Sony Europe employees who have ordered PSPs through the website, including Ray Maguire (Managing Director), Alan Duncan (UK Marketing Director), Chris Sorrell (Creative Director), and Rob Parkin (Development Director). The statement noted that "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."

just so u know MANY people think its BAD that sony closed lik-sang and i'm also unhappy.I'm realy angry with sony now, i kinda feel that they should too get bankrouped for what done-it was a VERY VERY evil thing to do(i also bought my ceramic psp there). I might just as well buy a 360 now.

PSP IS BETTER THAN THE DS

PSP £180
GTA:LCS £35
UMD movie £15
MEMORY STICK £70

There are some things the DS can't do for everything else there is a PSP.

Sony claimed this process infringed on its copyrights and trademarks, and the High Court of London apparently agrees with the company.

personally i really could careless as i am from the states, but before people go on their crying sprees, this would not have happend if it wasn't for your own government's ruling (assuming your from the uk)....

take this into account as well,
Quote:
"Lik-Sang did not contest this case (i.e. they did not turn up and therefore incurred no legal costs). We have been awarded substantial costs against Lik-Sang which have not been paid. We would therefore strongly deny that our actions have had anything to do with this website closing (we assume the legal entity is still trading), and would suggest that this release is sour grapes on behalf of Lik-Sang which is aimed to belittle Sony Computer Entertainment and the British judicial system that found against them."

not to mention this company has since publically disclosed consumer information. so i guess if your going down you might as well try bringing everyone with you...
