Lik Sang is gone!

[bugggeroff]

As of right now Lik Sang appears to no longer be on the web. Both the forums and main site have been taken down with nothing remaining besides the original "Out of Business" post where the main page once existed.

This is a sad day indeed.:(

[mesosade]

:( that's it. my best site cept' for ebay gone. sony...why thou so bloody dumass?

[ExcruciationX]

Very sad... :(

[mastersho]

It is very sad to see lik sang go(damn you Sony). lik sang was like family but i found a niceplace to order PSP REPLACEMENT PARTS for those, like me, who broke their screen or their UMD drive. just check out newagepsx.com for more info(if you want to, and im not being paid for this,i wish i was but the people must know if they didnt already).

[JKKDARK]

yeah, I can't believe :(

[Knux896]

I never used the Lik Sang store but I must say that I am very dissapointed that they closed the forums as well. They had a really great forum section devoted to the MMP/D.

BTW, did anyone else notice that the poster's name changed?:confused:

[woods05]

Although the thing sony did was wrong. I think Lik-Sang should stop wallowing in self pity.

[kcajblue]

this sucks. stupid sony. they ruin everything.

[toymin80r]

I've never trusted sony, and i never will. I never really use Lik Sang, but I heard the name a lot when people were talking about importing thing from other countries and it sounded pretty cool. Now the only place i have to order stuff is at ebay.

[mastersho]

What about play-asia? they're no lik-sang but still there's so hope..i think.

[emuking]

there's still play-asia and superufo but i guess they're not enough, what would lik-sangs tombstone say ????-????, how long did they last i mean, poor lik-sang :(

[aries2k4]

Sorry to see them go. The 1st reliable place I had found to order overseas. will be missed

[jwilds73]

Play Asia announced they cancelled all preorders of PS3's. It's in a prior news post. They don't want to become the next Lik-Sang in Sony's witch hunt.

[pibs]

what if u have orders with them(not ps3), will they still be shipped?

[TrowaX]

i hope that sell of psp goes down with the ps3 because sony really deserve to be down in profit. to be more accurate 188,000X2 worth of lost.I want to see sony take on ebay for the battle of importing system. Wonder how they will fare with each other.

Although the thing sony did was wrong. I think Lik-Sang should stop wallowing in self pity.

Lik-Sang first of all is no physical person so it doesn't have feelings so wtf do you mean by self pity? Second of all it has made cash the past few years it has been operating - a whole lot of cash

at this point the people that own Lik-Sang did what everyone would have done. Call it quits before you lose more of that valueable money that took you years to gather.

The lawsuits iniciated by Sony cost Lik Sang over 1 million, probably more close to 2 if you count legal paperwork involved.

For Sony it's close to free to force their way on courts if they feel like it. So what is happening now is a logical conclussion in face of these events.

OT:
Back in the days you had copyright notice on asian arcade screens telling you that if you played the arcade outside of asia you were operating illegally and could be persecuted for it.

As I see it PSP's don't have such warning adverts and last time I checked you don't need authorisation to become a PSP reseller. So in this case I can't really understand why the judge would rule with Sony for another reason than CASH...

A good reason, no doubt. But in no way was this fair and rather than blaming Sony for doing what every big company does in the market, I blame it on the UK Judge that actually was retarded enough to pass on judgement and fine Lik Sang out of bussines. :mad:

what would lik-sangs tombstone say ????-????, how long did they last i mean, poor lik-sang :(http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6956/tombstone2ll8.jpgi found this in someones sig at the M3 forums.

[jwilds73]

That brings up a valid point Picketf are used game retailers required to be registered to resell used consoles? Should you be required to register in order to resell a console you bought personally? It's not like a gun for christ's sake. My understanding with guns here in the US is if I am a private seller and selling my gun to another private buyer I need to go to the gun shop and have them process the sale which costs you. If Sony was to have it's way you'ld have to do the same thing it seems if you were to sell your console to another person. You'ld need to go to a Sony representative and have them transfer ownership of your PS3 to the new owner and they would charge a fee for the process etc. Sony can get screwed the PSP is my last Sony product period.

[mastersho]

weil said jwilds! i'm not gotta buy anymore sony crap. you dont see Microsoft or Nintendo going after lik-sang!!! The ps3 is gonna really suck anyway and the Wii is gonna be so much better! Even microsoft is cooler than sony and i HATE microsoft(they know why...!). Sony just paved to way for these to companies to move freely in the gaming world.

[shrimpidy]

I'm feeling pretty depressed even tho its my birthday and I've never used lik-sang all because of that f*g Sony. Lik-Sang had a great reputation and I supported their cause by reccomending them to people but my work is down the drain because of Sony.

[Junixx]

:( So i guess there no chance of Lik Sang coming back then? I never bought from them but I was planning to in the future

[Basil Zero]

oh well, moving on

[mad-brian]

noooooooooo! it's all a dream!

[abeisgreat]

No!

[nathan1974au]

hey look down!!!

[nathan1974au]

Good Bye!!!! Rotflao

[Vegetable]

Nintendo sued Lik-Sang for selling Flash Carts, and they shut down. You know what happend?

They removed the offending products and came back. This is no different.

[Shrygue]

So Lik-Sang is gone. Crud...:(

[jonezybaby]

Its Reasons Like This That I Hate Sony!!!

I'd say something like "that's funny", but I won't.

Cause it's not funny. Really

I'm ashamed of having Sony stuff...

[kcajblue]

i dont think its funny either.
i just posted it because i found it in someones sig.

[nathan1974au]

we all need to pirate sony stuff umd's and cd's
and dvd's. wicked fun!!! i love it!!!!

[mastersho]

Im game for some lootin of UMD's(and i know where to got for it too!) .

[Knux896]

Im game for some lootin of UMD's(and i know where to got for it too!) .

In case people don't realize this, UMD profits go to the companies that own the data on the discs not to Sony. It would be incredibly misguided (and illegal) for anyone to start pirating movies and games as some sort of payback at sony. I honestly hope that no one would seriously do that.

[Baboon]

Very sad new. :(

I used to love Lik Sang until $ony ruined everything.

I've got a fair few of my games from them over the past few years, Im gutted.

[Dee-Lite]

Just to let you all know, Apparantly Liksang forums is now operating under a different name!

My friend in Tokyo told me about it, I can't remember what the name was exactly, but anyway next time I speak with him I will see if he can link me. Apparantly Lik-Sang meant somthing too, live forever or some jibber jabber like that

[ukgamer]

I came across another site which looks very similar to lik sang. http://www.games-asia.com
