+rep for Maddox.

Though I think I might get a PS3 once the price drops Maddox is indeed right. Sony are being fucking shit right now.

I would love nothing less than to see Sony bankrupt at best.

Im sorry to say that but this guy sucks. I dont like Sony's moves, but still he uses so many swearing words and bias that i cannot take him seriously.

And selling Jap PSPs to Euro players is not right in any way. If im not mistaken PSP has regions right?

How exactly is shipping Japanese PSPs to Europe "not right in any way"? The regions thing doesn't really apply since, I'd asumme, someone who is importing the console will be well aware of the fact they will need to import the games too. Add to that, I don't even know if it is region coded, but if it is.

The thing is there is a big amount of people that dont even know what region is (yes there is, i live with them every day:(). And you cannot make a psp region free can u? And still, who would really buy games from jap after buying a psp from tat site? So basicloy i dont think people were really informed about the regions problem from that website.

And i take back the "not right in any way" :)

hahaha
one of the few maddox posts I've actually enjoyed quite a bit.

It's ignorant people like you who allow companies like Sony to get away with this.

Fact 1: The PSP (and the PS3 for that matter) is region free for games. Movie UMDs are sometimes region coded (I say sometimes because I have some Region 4 UMDs that work in my Region 1 PSP, but some that don't).

Fact 2: Lik-Sang were a professional company, who informed customers of the Region of the console, and what adapters etc were required to use it.

Remember that the PSP came out in Japan a number of months before the US, and it came out a year before Europe and Australia. I got my PSP from Lik-Sang, and since then, I have gotten most of my imported games from them, until Sony shut them down.

Luckily there are other importers out there, but for those of us in Australia who don't want to wait 6-12 months for a game, import companies and region-free consoles are godsends. The only thing this is hurting Sony in is profit, because European and Australian gamers get ripped off. Prices of games are nearly twice as much here as they are in the US.

It disgusts me that the minute Sony realizes that gamers all over the world are getting treated fairly and paying the same price, that they move in to stop it happening.

Hmm i see that i have been mistaken. Thanks for clearing the situation out.

Ahaha. Amusing. And yes, I agree with that wholeheartedly. Mostly 'cause I'm sick of Sony's bullshit too.
