Not sure if anyone heard this yet, but Lik-sang has announced they have gone out of business due to a series of lawsuits from Sony. You can read more on their site.

A couple years ago, I got several great import Dreamcast games from there. Have to say I'm gonna miss the place.

I ordered my Gamecube Freeloader from Lik-Sang and in my opinion it was the best website for anything import related and Sony was just JEALOUS that Lik-Sang provided a service that detracted from their marketing strategy of creating demand and hype on their consoles.

This is just another reason why I hate Sony for sure! They seem to ruin everything that they touch these days including themselves!

Die Sony! Die!
I hope 360 and Wii are the dominant platforms in the future.

Do anyone really miss Lik-Sang? I mean, are there products from them that you havnt been able to get anywere else?
I honestly really do miss lik-sang. They always had the interesting adapters for the PC, and a great place to get consoles from.

Sure, but now there's a virtual price monopoly. I like play-asia, but there's only them and yesasia left, and yesasia doesn't carry classic stuff.
Play-asia can pretty much charge what they want as they have a captive audience!

But do they do that? I think the P-A prices are the same even before and after L-S. They are far from the only online store who sell those wares so its totaly competition going on. If they charge like $60 for a GBA game people will just buy it at i.e Amazon instead for $40.
