Now I have every reason to never play PSP again. Most of the PSP games I own came from Japan only release. I'm not paying $20 more to get it from playasia.com. Those guys suck. Now they will probably jack the prices up more because they are the ONLY website to get the new releases from Japan. I will never buy a Sony product again.

I think it's insane that it's actually upheld by the law in Europe! Hopefully, Lik-Sang will quickly return with new owners (that won't ship to Europe). Remember that this happened before with Nintendo. Nintendo basically shutdown Lik-Sang for selling "homebrew" devices for the Gameboy. Lik-Sang closed, but reappeared soon-after with backup devices and modchips removed from their product list. Yes, it's awful for our friends in Europe, but the rest of the world (where parallel importing isn't illegal) shouldn't have to suffer as well!
