2011-11-29 04:32:44 PS Vita memory card prices .. what ya what ! ?

http://www.pcworld.com/article/245022/ps_vita_memo...

So this is a bit of an issue for me, personally I would rather download games from PSN than buy them in a shop and a small memory card is going to get full fast.

no, i dont think so, but some games save directly onto the game card apparently. some require a memory card tho (uncharted being 1), and since it's propriatary, it costs quite a lot. cheapest one aint so bad tho, and i'd assume it was more then enough for save files.

If the games come on carts i don't care, but if its optical media i'd much rather download to save battery life. Then again it's sony so who the f**k is surprised? They charge ridiculous amounts for their memory stick cards as well.

they learned from Microsoft, I guess it will be the same for PS4. Super high accessories here we go!

I doubt there will be 3rd party solutions, considering the propritary memory card is around the same size as a Mini-SD there won't be any convertors, I'm guessing Sony are so scared of Piracy this time they locked it down like a nun with a chasty belt.

Sony have confirmed also that you can only have one gaming profile per Vita, so no more having a JP account and US account on the same console.

You can change the profile but it means you have to reformat the console, D'oh Sony why do you do this shit ! ?

Will be interesting to see if the system is region locked or not.

Even if its isn't it will still lock you out from buying DLC on an imported game, you would think with Sony's experience with this stuff from both PSP and PS3 they would at least get it right.

Aside from the inability to have multiple regional accounts, it sounds the same as the PS3. That locks you out of regional specific DLC content. For example, my US copy of unreal tourny 3 couldnt run the UK version of the update. Tbh it doesnt bother me. I rarely ever use my multi accounts now anyway.

Usualy i can wait an extra day or week untill the UK psn gets the demo of a game.

The fact it's region free at all is great tho, sony seem to be the only company doing that. MS it is all developer/publisher specific, and nintendo dont alow you to do it at all. Improvements could be made, like non regional specific DLC. But it's certainly not a deal breaker for me.

Yes Korn but your US copy of UT3 would/should update on the US profile no problem. (assuming you have one)

With the Vita to even do this you have to format your whole system, meaning for people like me who import from both Japan and the US its a Fing pain in the ass.

It's not like PS3 at all, because when I switch to my JP account on my PS3 I dont' have to format the drive.

I said aside from the inability to have muliple regional accounts it IS like the PS3 in terms of regionally locked content. Meh, i dont care either way, this beast will be mine day one.
