oh yeh sry about flaming just needed to let steam off
And I thought Sony was cool way back when...
I'm not convinced they did, I think the court rules in favour of sony, as lik-sang did not defend themselves. That judgement would mean that Game shops that are selling second hand games and consoles are also breaking the law, as they don't have permission from sony (or the what ever the maker is)Quote:

all retailers are second hand shops because they buy their products from suppliers 0.0 (wow this is soo hypocritical)
Add my signature to this.
Sony... As you're aware. The only buyers of your PS3 will be hardcore fanboys, and rich dumbass casual gamers who have only ever known playstation.
I look forward to watching your slow demise in the videogame industry in the coming years. What with Microsoft and Nintendo actually having a clue in their goals and respective special talents, consumers and developers will buy into that in a huge way.
The playstation was the best viable option for third party developers back in 1995-1999. You were in the right place at the right time with the right product. Again with the PS2, but by that point you had the name, plus the developer support plus a fanbase. Now you have an entire world of haters. Your competition is lightyears ahead of you in terms of ideas, planning and future prospect. Developers are turning from the PS3 in disgust at the immense hurdles you have presented them to deliver a good product. Just as the walkman died at the hands of innovation from the ipod, so too will playstation at the hands of Nintendo and Microsoft.
You've had your nes, snes and gameboy Sony. Welcome to your N64. Learn your lessons well.
The only reason Sony UK did this is because they want high numbers when the UK launch rolls around. It looks better for them PR wise like Darksavior69 said. If a lot of people hear "Hey you can buy a ps3 from Lik-Sang before the crazy late March launch." People will hear about it, and even the "casual" gamer might import one. Now for Sony to say they are doing this because of systems not working correctly cause of PAL and all that is rediculous. My GP2X AC adaptor is Pal and I'm in the US. I bought a simple 3 dollar converter to plug it into the wall. I'm sure anyone Importing would have no problem. Most importers didn't have a problem before. All this boils down to is region sales numbers. Also people lets not forget that if you boycott the PS3 you're mainly hurting the 3rd party game companies, not really Sony. Yes they make money off of game sales more than system sales, but again it would hurt 3rd party developers. Reason being is cause it's going to cost an arm and a leg to develop for Sony's PS3, which is nother reason the PSP has fewer games than DS. I'm sad to see Lik-Sang go but there's always Play-Asia!:p I just hope Sony doesn't go after them as well. Also wraggs should talk to Play-Asia and see if they'll help with the coding competition now, or has he already done that?
Sony tried to put their spin on things but they themselves are guilty of so more then Lik-Sang. Who simply stated that high standing Sony employee's had used their business. And didnt provide anything other then their names. Sony had illegally installed software on peoples computers completely unknown to consumers (Rootkit's) and they stole rumble technology from Immersion and still haven't paid Immersion for it. And with the PS3 they won't be ponying up so we can have rumble controllers. Instead they try and claim rumble technology is passive etc.
Before I would always buy sony products like laptops/desktops/tvs/mobiles/consoles/etc. but now after the recent fiasco with their batteries, the delaying of the uk launch of ps3, their stance on homebrew compared to both nintendo and microsoft, their non adherence to GPL philosophies yet using the technology, their lawsuits with liksang, their utter disregard for the european market place, the lack of knowledge of what gamers really want, I don't think i will ever purchase anything remotely related to sony. No more retail PSP games for me! Time to downgrade since I won't ever buy any more games, may as well use devhook and an iso loader...
In fact I'm pretty sure sony are going to suffer tremendosly from all the things i've mentioned. I would steer well clear of the PS3 if I were any knowledgable consumer as you will soon only be able to play blu-ray movies made from sony, when all game producers see the light and boycott their platform, and all movie studios except for sony decide to only produce HD-DVD only films.
Actually, saying that, prehaps I should still buy a PS3, with the sole purpose of hacking it and publicising how to pirate games on it. I really hope sony to very badly from now on, and hopefully they have made some very powerful enemies in the homebrew scene...
wow sonys bein a bunch of dicks, they should realy start getting themselfs back on track or else there gonna lose all there customers.
im still going to buy a ps3.
