Yeah, let's assume something so that you can moan about it.

People were saying that about the PS3 but look what happened. Im sorry but Region Free games are here to stay for the Vita.

I just wish you could access a global PSN store with all content. Or if SONY could allow us to link accounts that are connected to a single PS3. I don't even bother downloading anything from the EU/HK/JP store anymore especially since I cannot simply access that content on my Vita.

Look it's very simple why they are doing this, And it has nothing to do with trying to screw the consumer, its about keeping what little bit of money they could get and Making sure they at least get a chance to keep it! remember what happened to the PSP?

because the Piracy outweighed the money they would have from return on investment. Not enough sales to over come the loss. Sony's software does not sell very well, and people cannot have it both way's. You cannot say on one hand that, their software is not that good, than go right ahead an Pirate it because, it's Sony and why pay Sony for 2nd class software! because that's exactly what the consumer is saying with downloading ISO's off the internet. when the development resources, to invest in making the game does not get high ROI's than you can expect what you can expect to happen.

What do they think is going to happen? Hmmm? the very fact that sony and 3rd party developer's and publisher's put in money and time, cost's to production, cost's in building their development tool base, so that the small minority can make it easy to steal the result's of their work? but..but Nintendo get's hacked, and they still sell a ton, well Sony is not freaking Nintendo!. People want it both way's, and yet it seem's the consumer's would rather steal than pay for it..but..but Homebrew, and now Sony have made that a reality with the PlaystationMobile platform, that by the way works on the PSVita, and people cannot understand why they are locking the PSVita's memory card? really? Has people just already let it slip their d@mn freaking Mind about what happened to the PSP?

Look at the Game's that get released on the next Nintendo system and Look at the Games that Get released on the PSVita. do you think for a d@mn freaking min, that they cost the same d@mn money to make? unless it's a 3rd party Game, and the 3RD party game is multi-platform release, many of the PSVita games cost alot more money to produce than the Nintendo offering's, just by the fact there is not one and i mean this with not as an attack on the Nintendo platform, i am talking not a SINGLE D@MN GAME THAT COMES EVEN CLOSE, to the investment for development as it does for Uncharted GA: on the Nintendo 3DS but..but that's why Sony is loosing so much money, and that is also why Sony is locking those d@mn memory card's, The point is Sony's offering those type of game experiences that no other HandHeld Game system is offering, it may not be for everyone but it is someing that they can offer to Everyone. That's the point they can offer it does not mean people will buy it , it just means they can off those experiences for the person with that handheld. and that's why they are doing just that. To make Money, you may say that they must not be doing a very good job of it, well they seem to making sure what little bit of money that they do make on their iP's is at least protected as to give them a chance to make some money back on their investment. this part of the industry was established on a hobby, it by all right's set based on entertainment, and just like movie theatres many consumer's some times try to sneak in trying not to pay for the entertainment. Many times people just say, well they have to account for Loss, which is true, but after a while maybe they get fed up and not offer these types of experiences? would Microsoft offer a Handheld that offer's something like Uncharted? or How about Nintendo? would there 1st party offer something like that?

the Only one doing that is Sony! asking for some money in return for that part of offering is once again not for everyone, but they are offering to everyone!

No, it means if you switch to a different account on your vita you will need to reformat the card or not be able to use any of the content on it. You'll be fine if you only have one account and you can have as many cards as you want on any account. This is just to keep people from swapping cards to share games. If you have more than one card but one account,no problem. If you have accounts in more than on region but only one card... that'll be a problem.

Vita is already worth the buy but ill rather wait for more price drops im still enjoying the PSP quite alot.

Here sweetie, you forgot your crown.

While I'm not buying a Vita and not trying to convince anyone that they should, your reasons for not partaking are pretty flimsy. Sounds like you decided you weren't going to get one first, and then started looking for reasons to support the decision after the fact.

- Accusing brand new systems of having "no games" is something that always sounds like Charlie Brown's mom when I hear it. Especially in this case. Not only does Vita have a relatively strong release lineup for *any console (seriously, name one of these consoles that releases with a bunch of AAAs that you're comparing this to), but there are a slew of games for it on the horizon in the near-future. And here's a secret: libraries only grow with time.

- Too expensive for some individuals' budgets maybe, but not "too expensive" for what the device is, not by a longshot. New and impressive hardware isn't something that you can find in the bargain bin normally, I don't know why you think a Vita should be cheap.

- It hasn't been hacked, you mean? That it's a closed platform? Does it not have room to hang fuzzy dice from? I don't get it....

- "More" implies "than". I'm not sure what you're referencing aside from this article, and while I think they should allow people a few accounts as w/ PS3, the measure seems to be in place for legit reasons. It's not a reason to not-own the platform, inconvenient as it might be for some people.

All the potential of the platform is still there, the only one denying you is you.

I'm buying vita today , i find this and the account thing sooooo annoying , why sony doing this to us ?.. The ps3 works great doing these things , if they are saying we will copy games then they are wrong , people that want copy games won't go and buy a ps3 if it cant do it so they are actully getting more money ...

Now they are annoying us all , the people that pirate and the ones that buy original , i never thought the vita would be like this , disappointing -.- , we dont get everything promised such as the remote , alots of problems , the accounts thing and now this

I want your opinion , does it worth it ?.

Having proprietary Memory and locked memory could be a hint at what sony is planning for ps4?

Now there's a logical comment. People are whining over nothing especially those who do not have a Vita.

Well, that's easy for people to whom the content of one store is the only appealing thing.

Have you ever seen the Hong Kong and Japan stores? They're loaded with interesting things that aren't found on the NA store. I mean, maybe not interesting to you and the people you hang out with, but that doesn't invalidate them. Other peoples' tastes and habits exist too, and neither is inherently "better" than the other.

Telling people "Only buy _____" from your region or "only eat food from your region" will work for some people, but not everyone. Surely you can respect someone else's lifestyle even though it is not your own?

The world is a big place full of beautiful, interesting things. Hence the existence of import stores, foreign shops, region-free DVD players, and travel guides. They wouldn't exist if people didn't want to enjoy beautiful things from other parts of the world. And I dare say games can be beautiful :)

there aren't many of us idiots out there who regretfully used a sub-account all these year i guess... but i hear you wolf. hit that share button and broadcast with pride, new master!

how I dont get it,explain plese
