It’s Official: Sony Hates Europe… and Kills Lik-Sang to Prove It

Not only have they screwed over Europeans with unsurprising PlayStation 3 delays, they’ve now made it even harder to import one by suing Lik-Sang out of business.

“Sony told GameSpot in a statement that it would be moving to block any other retailers who were involved in similar “grey importing” activities, and explained its actions were protecting European consumers “from being sold hardware that does not conform to strict European Union or UK consumer safety standards.'”

“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,” said Pascal Clarysse, former Marketing Manager for the site.

So long Lik-Sang. I only ever placed a few orders but it is obvious that those of us who enjoy games, movies, music, and goods that would otherwise never be released outside of Asia have indeed lost a friend and valuable resource today.
