@ #4

Can I give you a go after Sony is finished?

I am utterly dissapionted at sony for their actions. all I can say is good luck to the staff at Lik-sang and keep up the good work on this site. if the corporation is going to act in such a manner, then it should be fought in kind. keep up the good work with the homebrew and other software. I like to say that my PSP is jap, an original fw 1.0 and has done me proud since its release, i received very swiftly thanks to Lik-sang. I shall not be buying the PS3, if I do, it will not be european conformed. It is a shame Lik-sang cannot fight the goodfight but im glad to hear that they are still looking after their loyal customers to the end. RIP LIK-SANG

Fck The sony Corp.

ye that sucks, i have read that earlier on console-news.org allready.

sony really sucks ballz. feck off

$ony has more on their agenda then to stop people getting PS3 stuff from Lik-Sang…… $ony brought down Lik-Sang to stop anyone from importing any Nintendo Wii / Xbox 360 (blue dragon?) games / consoles!!!!!!!!! They know hardly any ppl will be buying any of their shit because of the high price and have decided to torpedo the competition as well. Dirty dirty tricks!!

Sony can suck a dick with aids on the tip.

this is jsut another sign of sony cracking down on the psp homebrew community. they were hitting our developers, now they are hitting our stores. it is like a witch hunt for sony. who is next ?

aww fuck man sony corp should go fuck themselves they should just let us do our fucking thing and get over it i wish sumbody with commen sense would take over sony damn these fucking ppl are faggots

F**k Sony…..

people we must do something…..let us write many many e-mails to sony

# 13 it wont do any good they just block all the emails and besides there heads are to far up there ass’s to see the emails we write to them

Dang! They were the best in imports. Plus they offered free ship. to the U.S. They will be missed! Oh and Sony…well, thanks for the hardware, but other than that, u guys SUCK!

It just goes to show Sony is one of the “evil” corporations like microsoft. Fuck sony.

Sony wasn’t losing any money off Lik-Sang, they’re just assholes. Next thing you know they’ll be sueing every ebay seller who’s selling a moded ps2 or 1.5 PSP.

They don’t care about their customers they only want profits

Its just greed man!, thats why theres gobal warming, blame that on sony….

Sonys a siemen-sucking stump-fuck of a corporation! Whoopty-fuckin-doo, Lik-Sang sold imports. Sony can shove its money-grabbing fingers up its collective corporate arse! Shining faces dripping with hate-seed! Bitter depravity manifesting as frustrated, incoherent rambling! The sorrowful bleating of condemned sheep!
BEHOLD! And add your lot to this sad calvacade of hopeless despare!

Well than I just don buy the games I play! Retard sony

IF I EVER SEE ONE OF THOSE SONY LAWYERS THEY’RE GONNA BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF MY SNIPER!! THOSE DIRTY SLUTS JUST WANNA SEW EVERYBODY AND KEEP THE PSP A PIECE OF SH**. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS.

Sony’s not just sticking it to the little guys anymore, it’s going after the little guy stores :(

Then, I’ll buy a Wii.
Sony is putting a knife on themselves.

to #14

they may just block our emails but all the junk in the account would build up an up so that they wouldn’t be able 2 stand it any more.

We have created a monster in sony! I’d boycott but too bad sony has a virtual monopoly on most of the jap games i’m interested in. sigh

Well, the problem with sony is that we love their products(psp,ps3) in spite of their money mongering actions.

If we really want to make a impact, i think it wil more be towards the line of petitioning to

not buy 2.80+ games
not buy any 2.80+ psps

and so on….otherwise, we are just flaming coz we cant do no nothing about sony’s actions.

lol lik-sang is out of business yet i find it funny thats theres still alink to them in this topic let alone anywhere on the website, it sucks that lik-sang has taken the long fall, but seriously just like p2p systems are developed in the bunches, im sure someone will just buy out his stock, open and publiceize a new name and just sell the same stuff that he was, if he doesnt just make a new company name himself LOL. i dont understand how selling asian psp’s to europe can cause or get you into any kind of real trouble, that would be like saying, going and buying a skyline from japan and having it shipped to the us, would get you arrested. theres no way anyone can have any kind of regulation on that, its rediculous. but w/e apparently lik-sang has fallen and will be missed espeacilly for his psp cases i love the see thru one. but give it time someone will replace him.

all i can say is aaaaaahhhhhhhhrrrrrgggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s unfortunate about Lik-Sang closing.. and that Sony is Microsoft SCUM.. But the fact is Lik-Sang signed a contract with Sony to sell only to certain regions (HK, asia or whatever). If a regular company bought the PSPs from a company like Lik-Sang and sold the PSPs to other countries, then they are not doing anything against any contracts, since they didn’t sign one. What can you say, Sony is Microsoft SCUM!!

Sony are such rapists, let’s hope more people can rip them off as much as possible by downloading thier crap (games/music/films) instead of buying it. The PS3 will rape you if you let it.

now what is the future for US? Could $ony sue Greg? This is just ignorant >:(. $ony, i’ll never buy another product from u again. Shut down lik-sang, bull.

Lik-Sang would totally beat Sony in a punch up. Fuck you Sony.

this sucks… :(

Euglogy to Lik-Sang:

Lik-Sang, we hardly knew ye. Your impressive service on the internet will never be forgotten. The free shipping rates to the U.S. have touched all that have bought any product from your site, and the publicity from your wonderful services has done you well. Hopefully you will return (under a new guise perhaps?) and become even more powerful than before.

R.I.P., Lik-Sang

P.S. - Sony sucks.

HAHAAAAAAA SONY SUCKS OH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I can only think of two words:
BULL SH!T.

Sony can lick my furry white a$$
copyright smopyright all gay

still sony sucks but cant wait till march for ps3
and after that maybe a slim psthree urmm maybe not ;)

well evrey one we shuld do our best to hack and
mod the fw 2.80/2.81 and not buy find away round
the 2.80/2.81 games. also this shuting down liksang is bs.

i pretty much love my 360, but as an avid gamer, i was certainly going to get my ps3 as soon as possible. but now, especially with the 360 rockin the house so good, sony can just go suck someone else’s ass. fuck you sony. i am also going to help as many people as possible downgrade their psp’s to 1.5 AND run devhook. something i would have thought twice about before. this is such a corporate bogus leviathan move, if they are going to fuck people up the ass, they better expect people to get pissed off and screw them too. i say forget emails, lets just get every psp devhooked, and lose sony some real money. we have such a great selection of games as it is, even if no more games are made, we will have something fun to play for the next five years on the psp. also, fuck ps3. i just don’t want to give my money to scumbags.
lik-sang, we all wish you the best of luck fighting the beast, and hopefully you’ll get yourself out of any trouble.

- mu

sony made lik sang suck their wang.

that sux.. liksang will be back after they restructure but they will never be the same.. just like when they lost the honor of selling modchips. crappo

does any one know if a 2.80 down grader or eloader is coming out soon?

ou know what.. I am not on sony’s side, and I had bought my fair share of products from lik sang.. I think what sony did was not logical… but hey they are not very smart up there.

Those people who said they’ll NEVER buy another Sony product again is just plain old liars. Think about it people, Just cuz it doesnt have Sony’s name on it doesnt mean its not by Sony. Sony owns and makes a lot of stuff and crap. Are you gonna look up everything you buy to make sure its not sony?

hahahah… DIE LIK SANG DIE !!! HAHAHA

will some one plzzz answer my qestion on number 40

This started because lik-sang made psp available in the UK before sony made a UK psp. I hate Sony. Ive bought over $500.00 worth of games and accesories from lik-sang, and they have been great to work with. They were the “newgg.com” for consoles and games. We have lost something great.

get over people
its not the end of the world
theres tons of other reatilers

ok if sony does all this or dies or gets aids then there will be no more psp all of u guys are wait some of u guys r deetadeets

No fuckin way,
sony u bastard !!!

Well, at least word on the street is that Microsoft (and maybe even Nintendo) are suing Sony. Man, that is BS. Sony is the most retarded corporation of them all. I wasn’t a customer yet but was looking to buy stuff from there for Christmas. SCREW SONY!

Im pissed off, i dont really check out lik-sang, but i checked out sum of the stuff, and it wus cheap, this really burnz mu ass

I feel like a broken record, but FUCK YOU SONY. I’ve been saying this for ages.

Back to lik-sang, I think it’s complete bullshit that Sony shut down a retailer who in no way hurts them.

I was never going to buy a PS3, but now I’ll tell other people not to do so and for everybody to pirate PSP games. Isos for everyone!

sony is a muti-billion doller compnay
you cant stop them
most of their stuff is top notch
saying to tell people not to buy a PS3 wont stop the whole shipment of 400,000 selling out over night
its simple as that
sony has already been sued a few times over the ruble feature in the PS1/PS2 controllers
it didnt stop them

and whoever said that MS would sue sony your an idiot

omg omg omg omg…… sony is messed up the helped them !!! sell there stuff!!! Whats so bad having a asian psp!!!

#48 I hope

#23 dont bullshit me man there fucking sont u think they couldnt figure suttin out to get rid of it man cmon bro but anyways………… fuck sony

Ha ha, they got PWND

sony wants everyone to hate them.. now they pulled some shit out of their ass to try and save their asses…

I GOT MY v1.50 PSP WHEN IT WAS FRESH OUT FROM Link-sang so FUCK YOU SONy! there is problem in sharing around the world!! HOPE SONY GETS WHAT IT DESERVS…im thinking the FULL hacking of there prised pig ..the PS3

PS3? Pith, the launch titles suck, mostly sequels & stuff that’s already out. What respecting PC owner would play a FPS on a console anyway? Wii all the way for me, I want originality, I’ve played racing/adventure games to death & won’t buy another FPS on a console, especially with sony’s rapist prices, Wii Wii Wiiiiii….

Al I can say is NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Sony :D

sony are such bastards…i admit theyre good developers but therye such business jerks

FUCK SONY!

They used to be such a good company with a lot of class. Way to become money whores and fuck over everyone who bought your products. They really do deserve to go bankrupt with the PS3. So long Sony, see yah in HELL! MWAHAHAHAH!

OH SHAITH, you have done it now and told me too many of the words that i did not want to hear.

Man Fuck First they try to stop Devhook Now Lik-Sang?
Fuck man Sony is fucking us over but they cant stop us.

1.5+devhook+umd dump+gamefly.com,MEANS MORE GOODER PSP

29— “the PS3 will rape you if you let it”

now thats just disturbing lol

25— we have started a movement!

I was going to say “yet another reason to say FUCK SONY”, but so many others have shared this sentiment already.

One thing I’d like to add though, is that there may be a bit of strategy to all of this on Sony’s part. It’s very aggressive when you think about it. If I’m not mistaken, Lik Sang is the company who just came out with a touch screen that clips onto the PSP. The new generation PSPs that are supposed to be coming out next year are obviously going to be made harder to crack and the incentive to buy them and thier games will be the new touch screen feature Sony plans on adding to those units. Sony targeted Lik Sang to disable homebrew users from upgrading touch screen functionality to the 1.5

It’s that simple…

my first internet (gba flashcard) buy was from them :( i feel bad for them and wish the best of luck! =`\

For the people that said they are buying XBOX 360 instead of Sony PS3: Microsoft is worst than sony in business practices, yet you want to support them? Come on.. All of us will buy whatever is cool no matter if the Manufacturer is SH!T or not.

-Tim

Think the best thing to do now in EU is to stop buying PSP from so called Authorised dealer…. let SONY suffer their stupidity… on the other hand, support other importers…. so that SONY keep paying money to sue them which will lead SONY into RED further….. Yeah!!!!!! SONY try take on the world….

Sony is a bunch of greedy pricks. Hell, they just did this because they lost some profits. It’s not like they aren’t making enough money.

all of u guys that r complaining r retared linksang was selling sony stuff but was not giving sony the right stuff back that is required so u guys need to shut up and dig a little deeper into the story

http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=2707

The other companies did the same thing.

“Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft vs. Lik Sang”

‘On September 16th a lawsuit against Lik Sang International Limited and it’s directors was filed in the High Court of Hong Kong by the companies Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft alleging infringment of copyrighted material by the selling of Mod Chips or other development and backup devices for the Plaintiffs consoles.’

Man people are so easily influenced >.>. It just happened that Lik-Sang picked Sony to blame. If they picked Nintendo to single out, I bet people would have reacted differently.

now I’m pissed. I didnt even know they had Nintendo mod chips…grrr

I agree with the above comments about the other companies - Microsoft are bastards, period, and Nintendo’s business strategy in the early 1990s in terms of the contracts they put across to developers were not just unfair, but illegal. Nintendo are a business too, and although I respect them more for at least bringing something else to the table (more “honest” gaming innovation), I would not trust them to rescue me from a hole.

Nevertheless, this does not ignore the fact that Sony’s own practices have been exceptionally dodgy recently: the price of the PS3 (working out at around £425/$750-800), a failure to establish the PSP properly, and now this legal action against Lik-Sang. I personally bought my JPN 1.0 PSP on import because of the following reason: the U.K. and Ireland were not going to get the PSP for a year after the Japanese launch. Sony have only got themselves to blame, and in this sense fuck them - this annoys people in Europe a lot more than in America, because we are tired of being told that we will get a piece of hardware by Christmas and then get fucked over with a March release date, and that EXTORTIONATE price point, not to mention shitty NTSC>PAL conversions, and a general lack of respect. What would have been embarrassing was that the price of a Japanese import console would, perhaps by March, be cheaper (and certainly cheaper after that, presuming no shortages in Spring) than buying the thing in the U.K. or Ireland. I think this has a lot to do with Bluray though, as if everybody in the U.K. and Ireland bought imported consoles they probably would not support the Bluray technology in local shops (due to the specific region-locks on the Bluray drive, unlike the half-lock of the PSP, which allows it to work film UMDs from the East). Obviously it has to do with Sony Europe meeting figures for sales probably set down by Sony Central. Word on the street is, anyway, that Sony are not even guaranteeing the figures they quoted for the U.S. launch anyway, so good luck guys, and good luck to the rest of Europe, because March is not even a set date. This does not really cover the fact that I cannot afford a PS3 and a high-definition television to enjoy it on, and I do not know many people (including those with children growing up into the present generation) who could.

The best thing that can happen now is for a Minidisc or Betamax-style failure of Bluray, and, oh, I haven’t forgotten Rootkit. Fuckers. I will be doing my best to encourage HD-DVD take-up by any richer consumers I meet, and will hope for a well-organised boycott.

^Doody.

sony sucks, their policys suck - LikSang, ps3, startprices

I say: let Tekken decide. And i’ll bet you that anyone at Lik-Sang will beat each and everyone at Sony in that (or any) game, simply because Lik-Sang have done what Sony has not; put some heart into it.

Not cool. I hope Sony gets a major blow from their PS3, which they probably will. I’m not partisan or a fanboi, but this makes me actively want to work against them. Pirate all you can people.

All big businesses are ‘bastards’, of course. It comes from the very structural nature of a corporation. But some corporations are ‘nicer’ than others.

Off topic: Why is it always the people who cannot write that are calling other people retards? My apologies to the dyslexic, you do not count obviously.

I love it how Sony said that they were doing it to Protect us. So incredibly twisted.

DAMN YOU SOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! W.T.F!? Why the hell are you trying to take everything away from us? YOU GUYS (sony) SUCK ASS!!!!!!

Sony are a pack of corporate whores… If Lik-sang or anyone does anything that Sony could view as an infringement, their toast… Sony exists to make money, to make money THEIR WAY, This website is dedicated to ALL PSP affairs… News, Homebrew, Hacking, Reviews… Everything. I’m willing to bet that 95% of the content of this website pisses sony off. Especially the areas showing people ways or giving them opportunities to run unsigned code (meaning no money goes into Sony’s pocket) not saying that everyone does it. Sony are just like anyother greedy money making machine… if it means crushing a few heads to do it… they don’t give a fuck. But FUCK YOU Sony… Hit them where it hurts, don’t follow their bullshit, don’t upgrade your firmwares, don’t buy their shit… Use your PSP’s for whatever you want to use them for! Hack, Run FREE ISO’s, Emulate… Hit the motherfuckers where it hurts! Screw them. If they want to be pricks and step on Lik-Sang to this extent, They’ll certainly get no more money from me! (unless its a new console that I can hack and run ISO’s and shit for free XD)
