With the limp, dead body of Hong Kong retailer Lik-Sang not even cold, the shock waves of its Sony forced closure are still being felt. Take the popular importer Play-Asia, now gun shy and unwilling to import the PS3 into the UK. Here is an email canceling Brit PLAYSTATION 3 orders:

Dear **,

This is an important e-mail update regarding your PlayStation3 related reservation at Play-Asia.com.

We regret to inform you that due to licensing and distribution limitations, Play-Asia.com will not be able to send PlayStation3 branded products to your territory. Unfortunately this also affects your recent reservation with us.

As a result, we are very sorry to let you know that we have now cancelled your non-binding reservation (***) with us. Rest assured, as this was a "no money down" reservation only, no funds have been debited in any way.

We kindly ask for your understanding and would like to apologize for any possible inconvenience this may have caused to you.

With best regards,
Your Play-Asia.com Customer Service

Seeing as how Sony's willing to put even "highly pregnant" women out work, Play-Asia's protecting its own expected mothers. Brian Ashcraft
