Lik-Sang responds to Sony's "sour grapes" jibe

[the_eternal_dark]

And once again I say Piss off sony..
your greedy, arrogant and downright power hungry..

All that is goign to happen is you will start loosing a fan base... the ps3 will be a piece of garbage... recalls will go out and there is sony out more billions of dollars.
Seriously, I think sony is heading for a huge brick wall int he next 5-10 years

So true.. There is a way to not hand them our money, buy used. This is going to be funny; I'll still be laughing with my Wii, Xbox360, and 1.5 psp when the PS3 fails big time, and laugh even harder when they try to make it slimmer than the original and still fails.

the uk goverment is a joke

So is the US government.

[I heart Nintendo]

Ditto.

I don't think the PS3 will tank completely. If sales aren't brilliant at launch, then they will rise with the releases of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy 13 - which are the only 2 games on the console I'm interested in, along with many others out there (some-what) interested in the console.

If most gamers wanting a PS3 for these games are smart - they'll forget the PS3 at launch, because they'll just have it sitting gathering dust until the good titles come out, which won't be for a good year at least!

I don't think Sony will bomb with the PS3 (for many - that's wishful thinking). But I do think they will lose alot of money and they won't dominate they way they did with the PS2.

If Nintendo and Microsoft continue to go as strong as they have over the past few months, then Sony will be in trouble and no major IP is gonna fix it all for them.

Well PS3-PSP connectivity is one feature I am mainly interested in and I had decided to wait until March or later to get one, but I am beginning to think twice.

If I don't get a PS3 then I wont be getting anything. I don't support Microsoft and I haven't supported Nintendo since the days of N64.

I agree with the PS3-PSP connectivity, that's pretty pimp. I would wait until prices are reasonable to buy one though, still too much bank for something that is questionable already.

Still, that was pretty cold what Sony did to Lik-Sang. Sony was still making money off of those sales (aside from the fact they couldn't play the region locked movies with their brand new imported psp's). Maybe that's why Sony got so twisted over this, no one would be able to buy movies in their country and play them on the PSP. That, though, is Sony's fault to begin with. By region free, hold up to it and go all the way or not at all.

I'm tired of Final Fantasy..

Wasn't the concept of the game the FIRST AND FINAL FANTASY?!

Metal Gear Solid has never been a winner with me. Stealth is a no-no compared to flying in the stars in an Arwing, AKA Star Fox. I just hope Star Fox Wii doesn't suck like Command...

I had thought UMDs were a dead issue by now. I really think it was to set the precedent for the PS3, to protect their european market. As some from over there have said, PS3s in the UK will be around 425-500 GBP, which is between 800-950 USD; substantially marked up from what we'd pay here or what they'd pay for importing...

And I couldn't agree more with region free... I wish they'd just drop the whole region crap anyway.

I had a mate in High School who said the name of the PSX should have been changed to the "Foney Vegstation", maybe I should have beleived him...

Sony's attitude in general and it's treatment of Lik-Sang who has only helped sell more of their products is disgusting. Look at their track record as of late Rootkit's, stealing rumble technology and now bullying Lik-Sang to the point they had to close shop. So free trade doesnt exist in Europe? You now will only be allowed to purchase your Sony hardware and software through retailers of Sony's choice? How a judge could approve such a ruling is beyond me. Corporate kickbacks I guess.

[homebrew1973]

Now that Sony have got away with this, what`s to stop them threatening to sue retailers that sell their games second-hand? And that`s just for starters.....

Region-free consoles? No doubt Datel will come to the rescue with their Free Loader product

I can honestly see more and more people being more and more determined to crack every single one of the PS3`s copy protections, especially Blu-Ray`s which would essentially mean a full Blu-Ray movie could be DivX`d onto a single DVD with almost the same quality....

As far as asking the UK government to help (I`d probably get banned if I gave my full opinion of them) then you`ve got more chance of Shergar winning next year`s Atlantis Derby with Lord Lucan as the jockey...

[Sunflash]

You cannot blame everything on our respective governments, that is unless your head fo the conservatives or from the north....
