Now hold on... this is comparing apples to oranges.  Nintendo has always offered a reliable product and quality games for a reasonable price.  This has never been true of Sony. 

Whenever sony gets bad press I do my little dance of glee.  Their sucess in the market has soley been due to them standing on the backs of giants (and not giving the giants any credit or money) and sheer luck.  I won't shed a tear when sony's gaming division finally goes out of business. 

The lik sang thing is just another example of sony thinking their poo doesn't stink and they can do whatever the heck they want. 

I love how Sony responds with "it's not our fault" and then you read that they did indeed sue lik sang but claim wasn't their fault because sang didn't show up.  What kind of backwards logic is that?  It'd be like me rapeing a girl and then saying I was innocent because she didn't fight back. 

Sony not everybody has the cash you do, they probably didn't defened themselves because they knew they wouldn't have the funds to take you on.

Amusingly Sony filed suit against Lik-Sang in 2 differnt courts, 1 in Hong Kong and 1 in the UK at the same time. Sony fails to mention that in there "Sour Grapes" release.

Some days it's great being a big company, misrepersent information, and sue happy and have the money to back it up.
Also on another note someone else mentioned, I'm pretty sure Lik-Sang stopped selling mod chips and pirate backup (Not counting the GBAMP) tools a while ago.

Around 2 years ago, I thought.  Last things even close that I remember seeing would have been the DC-X boot disk and maybe the Region-X DVD region bypass disk for movie playback on PS2.

I'd have bought from them a long time ago if not for the shipping costs.  I kept finding all of these neat little bits for next to nothing but even after adding it all up, it would have cost more in shipping than the sum of the prices.

I remember that.

I know most like 'em but personally, I don't like thumbpads.  No, let me restate that: I bought arcade stick controllers for all the consoles I have owned, and will use a thumbpad/gamepad only if I need too (such as: at a friends house and want to be social and play a game with 'em), or for testing inputs in mame, or hacked into a real stick.  ;) [shrug]
