Sony, Europe, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe A Bunch of Cunts

Important Notice: Lik-Sang.com Out of Business due to Multiple Sony Lawsuits

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - OUT OF BUSINESS NOTICE

Hong Kong, October 24th of 2006 - Lik-Sang.com, the popular gaming retailer from Hong Kong, has today announced that it is forced to close down due to multiple legal actions brought against it by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Sony claimed that Lik-Sang infringed its trade marks, copyright and registered design rights by selling Sony PSP consoles from Asia to European customers, and have recently obtained a judgment in the High Court of London (England) rendering Lik-Sang's sales of PSP consoles unlawful.

As of today, Lik-Sang.com will not be in the position to accept any new orders and will cancel and refund all existing orders that have already been placed. Furthermore, Lik-Sang is working closely with banks and PayPal to refund any store credits held by the company, and the customer support department is taking care of any open transactions such as pending RMAs or repairs and shipping related matters. The staff of Lik-Sang will make sure that nobody will get hurt in the crossfire of this ordeal.

A Sony spokesperson declined to comment directly on the lawsuit against Lik-Sang, but recently went on to tell Gamesindustry.biz that "ultimately, we're trying to protect consumers from being sold hardware that does not conform to strict EU or UK consumer safety standards, due to voltage supply differences et cetera; is not - in PS3's case - backwards compatible with either PS1 or PS2 software; will not play European Blu-Ray movies or DVDs; and will not be covered by warranty".

Lik Sang strongly disagrees with Sony's opinion that their customers need this kind of protection and pointed out that PSP consoles shipped from Lik-Sang contained genuine Sony 100V-240V AC Adapters that carry CE and other safety marks and are compatible world wide. All PSP consoles were in conformity with all EU and UK consumer safety regulations.

Furthermore, Sony have failed to disclose to the London High Court that not only the world wide gaming community in more than 100 countries relied on Lik-Sang for their gaming needs, but also Sony Europe's very own top directors repeatedly got their Sony PSP hard or software imports in nicely packed Lik-Sang parcels with free Lik-Sang Mugs or Lik-Sang Badge Holders, starting just two days after Japan's official release, as early as 14th of December 2004 (more than nine months earlier than the legal action). The list of PSP related Sony Europe orders reads like the who's who of the videogames industry, and includes Ray Maguire (Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Alan Duncan (UK Marketing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Chris Sorrell (Creative Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd), Rob Parkin (Development Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited), just to name a few.

"Today is Sony Europe victory about PSP, tomorrow is Sony Europe’s ongoing pressure about PlayStation 3. With this precedent set, next week could already be the stage for complaints from Sony America about the same thing, or from other console manufacturers about other consoles to other regions, or even from any publisher about any specific software title to any country they don’t see fit. It’s the beginning of the end... of the World as we know it", stated Pascal Clarysse, formerly known as the Marketing Manager of Lik-Sang.com.

"Blame it on Sony. That's the latest dark spot in their shameful track record as gaming industry leader. The Empire finally 'won', few dominating retailers from the UK probably will rejoice the news, but everybody else in the gaming world lost something today."

CUNTS.

FUCKING CUNTS.

Man Realizes PSP Is Worthless, Has No Games, D-Pad Is Shit

And decides that the most he'll get out of it at this point is to make an omelette with his PSP inside and sell it on Yahoo Auctions.

It's really kind of appetizing, but once you realize the games take forever to load and that Street Fighter Alpha Max 3 is basically unplayable and that the battery doesn't last more than a 2 hour flight... well anyone who owns a PSP knows this feeling. You just kind of give up.

He really did cook it. And you have maybe a few more hours to buy it. But he won't ship internationally and its already up to 7140 yen which is still too much to pay for the PSP.

It can't possibly work at this point because the thing is so delicate that it needs to be handled with silk gloves and placed into its charging womb and kept from direct sunlight or the screen (the only good part) with melt and get more stuck pixels. But at least if you win you get a box and a memory stick and another battery in case you buy another PSP and have a 3 hour flight somewhere.

"My Wife's Nintendo Panties"

...is the subject line of an e-mail we got at our other job that had this attached. The other site decided not to post it but we REALLY like Nintendo anything and will post anything Nintendo if no one else has.

We consider it one of those "free" updates where we have to think even less because we don't have to make some remark about how we'll be wanking to this because its just understood.

THANK YOU FOR READING OUR VIDEO GAMES WEB SITE.

Tokyo Game Show - Even Worse Than E3!

Why do we go to this shit? You think it's going to be "fun" and that you'll be playing video games before everyone else and eating bean filled buns and drinking fun sodas and Fibe-Minis and getting massages from girls in short skirts that have Sega written on them. But it's more like this.

Seriously, its just a sea of black haired IDIOTS carrying Blue Dragon bags as big as their apartments that you need to elbow off the Armored Core 4 kiosks to find out the game sucks like all the other ones. We didn't even play any video games for the first two days! :(

They wouldn't even let us play Sonic on the Wii which is the only game we wanted to play the whole time! And when you do get to play a game its after waiting in line for 30 minutes. Then it turns out you were waiting for this.

WE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT!

But it wasn't all bad. We went to Beams and bought an Every Extend Extra t-shirt.

And we went to WOMB where we saw Shinichi Osawa who's in Mondo Grosso who are in Lumines, so it was video game related.

And we ate at the upscale MosBurger with Brian Ashcraft. His hair still looks pretty good but he made us stay at a SHITTY HOTEL.

But then we had to "work" and got suckered into thinking that "4D" games would be really amazing. But it turns out you have to put on plain old 3D glasses and then they never explain how it's 4D because no one speaks English.

And you go to the merchandise area and see things like this Rio cup which makes you sad.

At first you think it might be fun and kitschy because she's obviously blowing that straw but if you drink out of it you're automatically gay because you have the other end of the mental penis in YOUR mouth now.

But there are some good cosplayers there. Like this Parappa. Even though she's built like a boy and we saw our share of depressing cartoon dog porn, we still managed to squeeze in a wank to this.

And LOTS to this.

But this Morrigan turned out to have a penis and not in a fun, sexy manga way. He did this unsettling flowy twist with his arms right before we took this picture and we started to worry he was doing some gay curse on us.

Still, we got to go to a lot of parties where people paid for us to eat their food and drink their alcohol and play their videogames.

BUT WE'RE NEVER GOING BACK. EVER.
