Sony really is very annoyed with shops, in the UK selling imported PSPS. As this is NOT illegal loads of people are buying them. Sony don't like it.

From a UK newspaper, The Guardian, they talk about Sonys actions. I quote,

The Japanese electronics giant Sony is demanding that companies importing its hotly anticipated PlayStation Portable to Britain reveal their customers' identities so the equipment can be tracked down. Gamers who have bought the imported version ahead of its British launch in September could see the consoles impounded, following the launch of a legal action by Sony.

Should the legal action prove successful, those who have paid around £200 each to buy imported PSPs could find themselves empty-handed. A copy of the writ, seen by the Guardian, demands that details of the British purchasers are handed over by the importing companies.

That's funny, I didn't see Nintendo throwing their toys out the cot. And people say Nintendo is the home for kids? It doesn't help when sony are acting like kids.

Ouch. That really sucks. So they get ALL of your info? Wow, talk about overreacting. And they don't even give you your money back either? That's not the least bit fair at all.

Sony deserves a b**** slap for that one.

They already lost alot of money other areas of the market (music, movies, fridges, toasters, vibrators... I don't know) while Nintendo is mainly focused on the games. So, they are trying to reduce the money lost. This could help the company and save thousands of people's jobs.
