Money is how it's viewed in business, quality of product and service is as it's viewed by the players. Yeah, money is always a focus in one way or another, but the company that has the best quality care/products is the best because that's the hardest to do, being in the business world of money. The hardest worker wins, and the hardest worker in this case is the one that resists an opportunity for extra money in order to get more happy customers.

business is sometimes retarded then

like spilling coffee on yourself and burning yourself, and then sueing mcdonalds cause it didn't say "hot" on it. sure, thats business, but thats also completely retarded.

Besides, they still made just as much money. Where do you think lik-sang bought them?

I think they have their own supliers. But I do know they are partnered with some other people. I'm a regular customer so i usually email them stupid questions and woah I just remembered that I sent them an email not that long ago asking if lik-sang would be effected by it.. I sent this email to them:

I've heard from reliable websites that SONY is no longer allowing people to import PSPS from import comanies, like yourself. Please, inform me if this is to be correct.

Thanks and good luck :)

They repllied:Hello Richard,

thank you for your email. Could you point me to the source of this news and your country? Actually it is of course allowed for any private person on the world to import goods to his country which does not interfer with your laws (like drugs and weapons). That's why I consider this to be a false rumour.

gave them the source and this is what they sent:

Hello Richard,

thank you for the link. This is referring to parallel-importing which is indeed not allowed. The rule against parallel-importing is directed to business/commercial retailers only. English shopowners are not allowed to sell the japanese PSP in the UK for example. However, a private customer (as you for example) may freely import for his own pleasure any console or game in the world and no company can do anything against that. Parallel-Importing issues are a wideknown problem for retailers, that's why in Germany for example there are only a very few retailers left who actually sell import games, often not advertising this at all, and it is also the reason why so many customers order themselves at a onlineshop like Lik-Sang.com for example because this is perfectly legal.

So there you have it, SONY took them by suprise.

Both sad and somewhat funny. :?
