Sony strike back

In a statement issued to our sister-site GamesIndustry.biz, Sony has denied any responsibility for the closure of Lik-Sang - accusing the online retailer of "sour grapes".

The statement begins by observing that Sony Computer Entertainment has successfully sued Pacific Game Technology, which uses Lik-Sang as one of its trading names, for infringing intellectual property rights.

"Lik-Sang did not contest this case (i.e. they did not turn up and therefore incurred no legal costs). We have been awarded substantial costs against Lik-Sang which have not been paid," the statement claims.

"We would therefore strongly deny that our actions have had anything to do with this website closing (we assume the legal entity is still trading), and would suggest that this release is sour grapes on behalf of Lik-Sang which is aimed to belittle Sony Computer Entertainment and the British judicial system that found against them."

Earlier today, Lik-Sang announced it was going out of business, citing a series of lawsuits filed by Sony as the reason for the closure. The retailer also alleged that several SCE executives purchased import PSP hardware and software on its website.

Sony responded, "The purchasing of PSP consoles by SCE employees would be for investigatory purposes. We would also like to express our surprise at a company releasing personal information about its consumers, as this is contrary to data protection principles around the world."

source so theres a shock $ony claim innocence. $ony employees using an import store for 'investigatory purposes'? when they could get a machine sent by the comapny? something dont add up

To the people who are going to "boycott" Sony's products and download Sony ISOs: You aren't going to make a difference whatsoever, shut-up.

It bloody will if enough people started doing it. And I think alot more will now purely because of this.

I don't even care if i get banned or whatever for saying this but if you are angry enough about this maybe you should start downloading iso's instead of paying for the games and proloning the existence of a money grabbing corporation that forgot about it's customers a long long time ago.

In the uk, the price currently listed for a ps3 in most shops is five hundred pounds, that equates to around one thousand US dollars. I for one will not be spending such a ridiculous amount on a console, from any company, and I know a **** load of ps2 and psp users who agree. I really don't think that this time sony will be able to get away with their "we can do what we like, you will still swallow our $#@!"- type attitude.

They will fail as a company and they only have themselves to blame
