Goodbye Lik-Sang, we loved you.

If this news is true, it really sucks: Lik-Sang.com forced to close down due to multiple Sony lawsuits. The hypocrisy of the Sony Europe execs who bought PSPs from them? "Investigatory purposes" MY ARSE!

The reason I'm not sure if it's true is that the date given is Tuesday 24th October, and I'm sure I've had emails about new products from them that I deleted since then. Also the address of the page to get refunds is at www.ljk-sang.com, which seems more like a spoof page to collect Paypal login info than a genuine address. But several major gaming sites have the news: Gizmodo, Eurogamer and The Register.

Now where will we go for our Japanese rhythm action games?!

A friend who ordered some hard mats from them got an email saying it was true, that outstanding orders are on their way, but that's it.

Sadly, that is Lik-sang's real website :(
