Sony has succeeded in hounding down one of the three biggest sources for foreign video games and memorabilia… And the news has even made the BBC!

Personally I think this is the end of my desire for a Sony PSP or PS3. Nintendo and Sega both tried this tactic in the past, but I wasn’t in a position to understand what was going on….plus there was no way to resist Streetfighter. Sony have obviously got many fingers in many pies, but it’s the least i can try and do, now that Sony have contributed to the demise of a firm that had a reasonable customer service reputation, and could get me a game sent from Hong Kong, including Fed Ex delivery, for less than it woud cost new in the UK….
With the backlash last year over the root kit DRM on Sony CD’s, and their battery problems…could this be Sony imploding into it’s own backside?
Incidentally, my favourite by is the quote from Lik Sang revealing how many Sony Europe employees were buying their own PSP machines from Lik Sang. And the fact Sony claims it was for investigatroy purposes….move over Watchdog, Sony is here to save us…
