Yeah Sony felt grumpy so they sued them... sad news for importers like myself.
http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3666 Link to lik-sangs view on the situation. Ign says: http://psp.ign.com/articles/640/640105p1.html For people who can't be bothered... "Hong Kong-based online retailer Lik-Sang.com announced today it is being sued by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for selling Japanese PlayStation Portable systems to UK customers ahead of the PSP's European debut in September. For gamers in the UK and Europe, ordering games and hardware from companies like Lik-Sang.com is often a way of saving money (the company currently offers free shipping on the PSP), as well as getting a product ahead of local release. In legal action brought to the High Court of Hong Kong, Sony claims that Lik-Sang.com is violating trademark rights by offering the PSP to European customers. According to the Sony, "Lik-Sang's sales are an unlawful interference with Sony's economic interests." Comments please

RE: Lik-sang sued for shipping of JAP PSP
Agreed. I saw this on slashdot yesterday, and it's just more proof that sony's full of money mongering idiots. They allowed this practice... of course until they are near the euro release. Now that they will be there officially of course this just won't do. They wouldn't make as much money.

RE: ds clan
What you guys are not acknolaging(sp?) is this is buisness, not who can be mister nice guy, if any of you were in the situation im sure you would want to make more money, am i right? Why shouldnt you make more money when the oppotunity arises? And why should you not do it if some people say its "greedy", its buisness.

RE: Lik-sang sued for shipping of JAP PSP
No one else does this? Lik sang has operated unopposed for years. Why does sony want to shut them down finally? They simply want to be the sole supplier of their product.
