    Oh Lik Sang - perhaps amongst the cruelest things Sony has ever done :( Only people its closure hurt were the people who probably have given Sony the most money in the first place.

    Nope, just saw Lik Sang mentioned in the post above and was recalling one of the most concrete examples that Sony are a shower of bastards.

    I have refused to buy any Sony hardware since. Their prices were so much better than Play-Asia.

    LIK-SANG!!! How I miss u, Bought all my GC Stuff off them, Panasonic Q and all.
    SONY ye are some asses!!! I also hated them since they killed great company
    just over bloody PSP Sales.

    I couldnt care less if they went under with all the debt companys built up, xbox360 is 100 times machine PS3 is. Least MS trying to make great dashboards and give people what they want. Pity they charge Online, but worth it vs sony, Id love to see them fall to 3rd behind Nintendo\MS. Wishful thinking.

    I'm not a fan of Sony these days, but the 360 dash has gradually refocused from playing games to selling you things, not fun.
    Only Nintendo have kept the focus where it should be.

    Enjoy the games man :) It really was such a shame sony caused them to shut, they had fantastic deals on stuff. I got the majority of my DC collection there and some other stuff really cheap back in the day. Only real solution I've found since is taobao but can cost a bit when you add the shipping costs.

    Sony took them out in the most asshole way possible, taking Lik Sang to court in every single country in Europe that would let them. Sony were totally in the wrong since what they were arguing went against every free market law going but since they took out a case in so many countries it meant that in some cases Lik Sang had to represent themselves in multiple places at the same time and didn't have the money to defend themselves. ****.

    Cmon folks, leave it out. It was an accident that some of their optical media had rookit-like properties. And it certainly wasn't by design, that when the pS3 powers on, it scans your home network to harvest any data it can about any device on it & trasmit such data to Sony. Jeez, cut a company a break

    For just a moment I thought you were being genuinely sympathetic towards Sony.... Just for a moment like...

    Nothing really retro today, just some portable games. Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja and Super Robot Taisen OG Saga.

    I also got reminded about the plight of collecting retro games. Just when you think your collection is complete you discover another game you simply have to have, this time a DS game that looks like a pain to source :(

    Hmmm, a DS game that Retr0 has been trying to source, time to do some Googling.... how about something to do with cosplay, japanese schoolgirls, Limerick and male dating.....

    There's only 16,000 DS games for sale on ebay, shouldn't take long to sift out the rubbish, or not....

    Found it!
    Oh yeah, now we're talking!

    Enternow got it in one :P

    I don't want to say what it is since it seems tough to get in Europe for a decent price, I might have to call in some favours. It's one of those games that on ebay it is available for $20 but nobody will ship to Europe and the only person that will is charging 50+ euros. It didn't review well either but I think it seems interesting and the games I actually enjoyed this generation have been ones that didn't review well but were in the end interesting.

    Also **** amazon.com for not shipping to Ireland.

    Avalon Code by any chance? That's the only swing I'll take at it!

    Was considering it but I've heard it's pretty crap.

    Not even tough to find in Ireland let alone Europe and the US.

    Heed Retr0gamers advice on the matter. Get NTSC Versions.

    Between the 50/60Hz speed difference and the length of RPGs of FF7's ilk you've probably enough time to complete another game as well.

    Its ok, buying the PAL version entitles to download the NTSC versions guilt free :D

    Yeah but has an interesting 'scan' mechanic. That, coupled with mediocre reviews made it jump into my head upon reading your post :)

    I'm finished buying PAL anything, unless forced to by a language barrier. The speed differences, the better artwork, the usually cheaper cost make it so much more worthwhile investing in NTSC
