The Worldwide Dislike of Sony at This Time

Since the Lik Sang Closing news was posted the response to the actions of Sony has been staggering, just about every gaming site in the world has posted the news and the comments against Sony have done more serious damage to their reputation with this news than any other over the last few years.

What we really need is a worldwide petition to show them the support against their actions.

For us in the UK if i lived in London today id like to ask the bosses of Sony why they are dictating when we can buy new consoles.

Should be an interesting day again.

Amen!!! Kill the Sony facists!!! And if any sony reps or employee of sony (in the higher ranking) is reading this. Fuc* you!!!! how dare you take lik-sang out. I hope u burn in hell as$hol3s!!

/sign

Start the petition!

CURSE YOU!!! first they hate us for hacking the psp then they kill a loyal websites of ours *signs the petition* NEXT!!! *does a little picket sign* "Long Live Lik Sang" yep yep

i smell the boycott of the ps3, ohh well i'd rather have a 360 or Wii...RIP lik-sang :(

This is really terrible

seriously, are they crazy or just stupid?
this doesn't really effect me, cause i live in the US, but still.....

I think i'll get a wii now :)

Petition? Gimme a break, why would that bother them? Look at all the petitions out there, they help nothing. They can only see green. If you want their attention, boycott.

In an older post I said Sony has turned into a Microsoft of electronics. It is worse than that, it has turned an attorney & affairs company...

sony .....seig hiel, sieg hiel , sieg hiel,

I wasn't going to buy a PS3 anyway, but I'll be sure to continue to not buy one!! :p

Also, I won't be buying any commercial games, which is fine with me since I use my PSP for Nintendo emulation. :)

I do to since they stop everything good for the PSP with those stupid updates.

Vega Signs
**** you sony

I dont think boycotting is the answer.
Consider this: Sony lose money on hardware sales thinking they can make it back in software sales.

So, go buy your sony hardware. just buy second hand games or rent them. That way sony lose out and you don't have to miss out on games you want to play.

Hah, Microsoft or Nintendo should give all the Lik-Sang staff jobs.. They'd look like heroes, great PR :p

Sony, Sony, Sony...What a sad group of asshats you are. No matter what you do, you screw it up spectacularly. I'm actually impressed by the awsome depth of your idiocy.

Rootkits, homebrew bashing, the UMD fiasco, The Betamax fiasco, the mini-disc fiasco, those wacky ad campaigns, the list goes on. Any good will you somehow engender gets completely eradicated by the evil crap you CONSTANTLY do.

Sony, you are like a baby in a room full of razor blades, guns, bottles of acid, and uncaged fans. No matter which direction you crawl, you damage yourself.

I eagerly await the public education program you have planned to try and sell the PS3 to the masses. Make sure you use the ad agency behind the PSP ads. You know, the agency behind the "Graffitti" campaign. They are "Hip" and "Fly" and totally get this generation of gamers.

THIS will be comedy gold...:D

DrSarcasmo

I will never buy a PS3 now because of this.

It's a disgrace...

Wonder if they will go after other importers now.

lmao sony just get worse dont they!

racism in adverts

sexism in adverts

expensive prices

releasing ( very small upgraded) vesions of consoles to get more money

closing down lik sang!!!

of course a petition wont do anything, but, if everyone on this forum atleast boycots them, and maybe everyone on the internet community for sony will they will realise that they've infact turned into a complete set of arse holes!

Now I don't know if I'm going to get a PS3 or not. The Wii looks pretty appealing right now.

Sony are trying to impose nazism upon the world by killing online stores like Lik-Sang. Someone should make a Wolfenstein 3D mod in which you raid Sony HQ with employees/reps as the nazis and Sony's CEO as the Fuhrer :p DIE SONY-NAZI SCUM!!!

Now I will NEVER buy a PS3 (even though I found little reason to in the first place) and I will sign any and I mean any petition to stop Sony.

Um i would not say that! Microsoft may look a bit strange with their actions some times, but theses guys know what they do, and they do it great! No allways best, but great! Im mean hell, when this technician guy walked up to moore to show him, what the homebrew scene came up with, and showed him xbox media center....

Sony wouldve been like: Lets sue them.

But Moore was like: Ok, let's se, WHAT can we learn of this? What can we use?

When i heard that news i knew i was right owning a n xbox and an xbox360!

Remember... Microsoft and Nintendo sued Lik Sang in the past also. But what happened after that, basically, was it turned Lik Sang into a greater company.

In 2002, the company was sued by major game console producers, such as Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, etc., alleging copyright infringement due to mod chips, and other devices being used with their console; injunctions were granted preventing the sale of these devices.[2] After these suits, Lik Sang began expanding its area of expertise by reinventing itself (under a new owner) as a vendor of legitimate, but obscure, accessories, such as consumer electronics, games, merchandise, and t-shirts. Currently, they do not sell modchips, nor flash cartridges.

In August of 2005, the company was once again in legal trouble, this time from Sony. Lik Sang had sold imported PSPs to UK customers before the UK release date, which they alleged was a breach of their trademark rights.[3] Lik Sang continued shipping PSPs, citing Hong Kong's laws which it claims an item can be traded freely once it appears in a market anywhere in the world

Still, and Im not saying this because I am itching to get at it, but the scene's best means of any kind of voice here is AC's PS1 emu. That is how we strip money away from the *******s. If they can take away peoples right to buy imported items... they we take their right to make us buy PS1 games all over again.

I can understand the gaming companies cracking up over mod chips but even so they shouldnt be illegal, but what i cannot understand is why sony is so against importing consoles etc...

#1 its none of their business what people buy from overseas, even if they do produce them.

#2 they cannot stop this by shutting down Lik Sang, they would have to sue eBay, and almost every person that had thought about importing because they are too much of a pack of tightasses to produce enough stock for the world.

What do we get here for waiting in australia?

An increased price tag and bugger all accessories.

Screw You Sony. I will never be buying another product from you again.

What would really annoy sony would be the new release of AC Ps one emulator

and the new release of devhook

Christ. None of you realise that a petition is going to absolutely jack -****ing- shit. Casual gamers don't give a flying **** about the closing of Lik-Sang, and they'll buy the PS3 anyway.

Besides, Lik-Sang was breaking distribution laws, and Sony just happened to be the one to shut them down for it.

We all are sad by the so called "actions' by Sony....But what if the PS3 bring out some realy amazing games...Would you still not by a PS3?...:confused:

meh, sony are just facists, lmao but the psp is good though :p

WRONG WRONG WRONG. **** you are wrong. Sony has the distribution rights of their own product, you idiot. They get to choose who can buy their system, and who can sell it because IT'S THEIR RIGHT TO.

Enough of this!:mad: I was thinking of getting a wii or ps3 but in favor of a wii but I now will buy a wii for sure.

PS I live in Hawaii this affects us alot that we can't buy import games because there are only two stores that import on the island but sure there are other sites.

Absolutely spot-on, those of us that post on forums like this, read DCemu and Eurogamer, and shop/have shopped at Lik Sang are NOT the massmarket, check out the anti-EA sentiment on forums, yet they are still #1!:confused:
I don't want a PS3, I have a 360 for my Stepson for Christmas and I want a Wii, but it does not mean that more than likely muppets will still flock to PS3 like flies to dog-shit! All this Wii60 chat is nice, but casual gamers only buy one system and that will likely be a PS3, for the name and Blu-Ray. If not the case, the DC would have smashed PS2 'cause the games were better, it was cheaper etc. but Sony had DVD and Sega now makes software...
If we do a straw poll on this forum in 3 years I bet most of you will have a PS3, including me!
Face it guys, as much as we might not like it, Sony will odds-on be #1 this time around again.:mad:

in that line of thinking it would be illegal to sell anything second hand (lik-sang buy of sony and then sell it on).

no second: hand books, no cars, tables, tvs, hammers etc

Absolutely. Even if there is a law like that, it's a bad law, and deserves to be flouted.

You know, it might just be me, but I'm buying a PS3 because I like its superior hardware and software line-up, not because I'm like a "fly to dog-shit."

Sony did what they did to protect their European market. If someone in the UK got a Japanese PS3 they wouldn't be able to play Blu-Ray movies, thus having to import movies.

Now, Sony own their own movie company and want people to purchase their movies and actually be able to play them. If they didn't stop the importing (thus no-one using Blu-Ray movies) they would loose money. What happens when you loose money? Stock-holders become infuriated and investors could potentially sue them for loosing money.

not convinced, the amount of imports would be tiny in real sales terms, and would not really effect blue ray sales in the long term. Over all this has been bad for sony as it bad PR

Another theory is that the ps3 will not sell out as badly in the US and Japan if you reduce the potential customers, there fore deducing the "sony fails to deliver" bad pr. With such small numbers of ps3 available for the launch and 2006, cutting off egger European customers would help.
