More than meets the eye here, They sell loads of stuff .... just stop selling Sony products, why close down completely?? By the reaction here I may be able to walk into a store and buy a PS3 + Motorstorm + Resistance without preordering when it hits Europe. Glossy black PS3 ggggrrrrrrr

Man that sucks. Lik Sang was awesome because they were real professional and had great customer service; worthy of being one of the internet's top e-retailers. They were always quick to respond to me, and I kept going back to buy more from them.You will be missed Lik Sang, here's to hoping you guys come back as some other online retailer.

i think thats the point. sony requested lik sang stop selling psps to europe, but lik sang ignored the request. sony took it to the courts and looks like lik sang lost. they knowingly went up against an opponent larger than them.to the best of my knowledge, lik sang didnt offer to settle out of court. honestly even though me and plenty of other gamers may feel otherwise, but in the court system they didnt have a leg to stand on.if you arent an authorized reseller, you dont have permission to use the companies trademarks first of all. so they were on thin ice in the first place. second of all i blame lik sang for not just giving up one portion of its business. its hard to believe that reselling one product: psps to one region: europe was THAT lucrative to them.all in all, i blame both parties here. sony is just plain wrong for approaching the situation like they did. i dont believe sonys reasons for suing; sounds like the most feasible legal foothold they could use in order to win. on the other hand, lik sang could have played the game a tad bit smarter and stopped selling sony products. selling products to the us was and still is no problem, its JUST europe. secondly and most importantly, releasing private customer data is just outright wrong. i dont care. sony was wrong for what they did, but breaking a privacy policy is something you just dont do either.

Warnings to all the people who used the Lik-sang before...I am canceling my credit cards that I've ever used with Lik-Sang (or any international internet shop) because I don't know what those sneaky or disgrunted employees gonna do with my CC information once their shop is out of business. You never knowthink about it
