When Sony killed Hong Kong retailer Lik-Sang, not only were
highly pregnant women forced out on the streets, but a void was created. Where would we find knocked up ladies to import PS3s? Play-Asia has already chickened out from shipping PLAYSTATION 3s to Europe (and rumor has it, that the company has only "slightly" pregnant employees). Game site Modojo has a nice piece up wondering who will step up and fill the void, and gives a nice run down of Play-Asia, YesAsia and National Console Support. Worth a look.

I just love this whole Lik-Sang, Sony thing. It's like the two companies are playing chicken with each other in a very public, and increasingly embarassing way.

Wow, importer Lik-Sang has started accepting pre-orders for the Playstation 3 and 20 PS3 games for no money down.

Then I noticed the "Extra Note" tucked down at the bottom of the page.

Then Touch My DS might be the site for you, where anonymous Internet strangers post pictures of their beloved DS systems next to plastic dinosaurs, the Book of Mormon, disembodied mannequin hands... you name it!

Alright! 4 Color Rebellion is reporting that the Japanese Nintendo DS Lite shortage is officially over, where the proper degree of officiality is determined thanks to online retailer Lik-Sang, who are shipping off DS Lites to overseas consumers at last. No news on whether this means Ashcraft will finally start sending out DS Lites to his Kotaku co-workers, though. All we can say is god help both him and his scrotum if he doesn't.
