As does mine. I'm collecting them because I think they're going to be quite uncommon in years to come.Quote:

What exactly do you mean "the way they are?" The memory cards being proprietary or just the fact they're linked to a PSN account? Explain.Quote:

There will probably be some scarce Wii U games. They've been reprinting the harder to find Wii games though. I know some collectors that are pretty put out about it. Iirc there was a handful of games that went from $70-90 to about $20. Poor babies. :wacko:

Btw just for future reference, having a Japanese PSN account + a Euro one is doable, right? In case I want to buy digital JP games in the future. If I get a Vita, I mean.
So another thought on the Vita being cracked. If it's as much of a pain for most people as the PS3 I don't think it will be much of a problem and I won't care as much (I still wouldn't pirate but I wouldn't be as grumpy about the news). The danger lies in if it's as easy as Dreamcast, PSP, DS etc...where anyone with half a brain can do it.
This isn't even an answer. You just took what...oh never mind...Quote:

Yeah, sounds more like someone is just butt hurt they can't afford the Vita and is totally grasping for straws on why it's a "bad" system.Quote:

Jesus, you can have 16 accounts on that thing? I thought they scaled back all the user stuff at one point...Quote:

You can indeed only game share with one person now. :PQuote:

That's just common sense. You can't play copies on any other modern console out of the box either. Except for the early Dreamcast consoles of course, which wasn't intentional and again resulted in most third party publishers jumping ship after the first year. Even so, casual piracy was a hell of lot harder 15 years ago than it is now. CD burners were still expensive and it was a nightmare trying to download anything that size on dialup internet. That alone made it more trouble than it was worth for most people.Quote:

Bottom line is there's no region lock on the console and nothing preventing you from buying physical games and treating it like a DS, PS2 or any other console if that's how you wish to use it. The only way you're restricted is in regard to digital games, which you've said many a time you have no interest in anyway, so it's a moot point. :wacko:
Well said Cosmic.
I see, thanks for the answers, both of you. Well, at least it's possible! :wacko: Unlike with Nintendo, lawl.Quote:

Why is Ninty so anal about the regional thing? None of their consoles have been region free have they?
I do believe the Gameboys and the original DS/Lite (no idea about DSI onwards) were region free.Quote:
