How does any region locking help anyone? Oh right overcharging everyone outside of the US.

long as you have a PS3.
Out of left-field. Further alienating (potential) customers. Why?
Anyone talking about CFW right now have really no clue on what they are talking aboutPeople are still defending Sony on the handheld front? Even with locking memory cards for no reason? What would it take?
If they did this for hacking prevention, that's fucking dumb. I would argue that they should embrace CFW at this point.
Do people honestly think that this is the straw that's gonna break the camels back?
I can't imagine the casual handheld buyer standing in front of a Vita and saying "well, yeah, I'd love one but then I heard you can only have 1 PSN account per memory card!". Nobody gives enough of a shit about the Vita to care about this outside of message boards.

And I'd suggest the Vita was well into that territory before they started enforcing these rules. Rules which most 'consumers' will neither know nor care about.Specific events don't change consumers mind. They're mind are changed when they think of a product and the first thing they feel are negative feelings. It's not an attitude of "I've had enough!". It's a more passive "Screw that, i'll get something else"
I guess the way I see it, the hardcore already own one. The 'slightly-less-hardcore-but-still-hardcore' will buy 2 memory cards and everyone else will be utterly unaffected since they only have 1 PSN account anyway.No, but it could be the straw that pushes away more hardcore gamers from picking up the console, and at this point Sony could use as many sales as it can get casual or hardcore.
And yet, as an early adopter of the Vita, my nuts remain unkicked.Casuals don't want a Vita. Probably never will. All this does is piss off those "hardcore" among us that do want one, or already own one. Basically Sony just said, "Hey thanks for supporting us when no one else appears to want to, now stand still while we kick you in the nuts."

So I guess that means it doesn't matter at all. Nevermind the fact that there was no reason for them to actually make this change to begin with, and forget those "very very few people" who actually lost their data. We should just roll over and take it.I really can't see the issue here. If it was one account per system, no swapping ever, I'd get it. As it is, it's a minor inconvenience affecting very very few people.

So the only people who own the Vita are the ones who care?

If they research they'll know it's one account per memory card and not one account per Vita.No I'm sure the PS3 owners that have multiple accounts will just be happy to buy a Vita per account. A buyer is going to research something before they buy it, and it's stuff like this that can end a sale.
And yet, as an early adopter of the Vita, my nuts remain unkicked.
That's cool for you. Mine are squashed. Enough so that I'm ready to tell Sony to fuck off for good.
It was not a workaround. Read back a page or two and see what Sony's official policy was. They don't support using a card on multiple Vitas, never said ANYTHING AT ALL about multiple accounts with the same card. And it worked simply by saying "no" to a prompt. Not a workaround. It was definitely something that was working as intended, especially since the Vita OS would say you couldn't load stuff from the other card because it was associated with another account. The Vita OS knew about it, even!It was a workaround from the start, the Vita doesn't support multiple accounts on the same card. It's always been that way IIRC. I knew this before I bought mine and I bought mine on day 1.
I can't imagine the casual handheld buyer buying a Vita at all. That person will stick to the 3DS.Do people honestly think that this is the straw that's gonna break the camels back?

seriously for this memory card thing..? wauw..
what is more casual about a 3DS..? the Prize..? Mario..?
I've never had more than a single PSN account, for this very reason. Having multiple accounts, with purchases spread across said accounts, etc. It's just playing with fire. Eventually you were going to get burned.
Nevermind the fact that on future systems you'd likely have trouble ever transferring all that content over.
The region lock. Apparently thats not enough to be "done with Nintendo".

Precisely. They sure as fuck won't care about this, either way.I can't imagine the casual handheld buyer buying a Vita at all. That person will stick to the 3DS.
I'm not. The open standards of the PS3 did fuck all to help sell PS3's and then ended up going against them.I'm surprised by how locked down the Vita is compared to how open the PS3 was/is.
Shouldn't have to have a ps3 to get content for vita. Sony really needs to step up their game so I can buy this Damn thing.Yup, people didn't heed the warnings and got screwed. Only thing you can blame is SCEA not telling people about it before they update the firmware.
Plenty of Vita games and ps1 games as long as you have a PS3. You can get the Madden Bundle at Best Buy that comes with a $50 giftcard, get a better memory card with that money then a 4gb. No excuses now!
Price is definitely a major factor. Wider selection of games helps too.what is more casual about a 3DS..? the PriCe..? Mario..?
Haha, Sam Bishop is on another site saying that this is no big deal and GAF is "retarded" for being upset. Someone's still bitter.

Cool. And for the 1% of users for whom it is an issue, who lost data without warning? Fuck them, right?What is wrong with all of you, it was never meant to be a muti accounts machine, just like every other portable device out there.
For the 99% of users, this is not a problem at all.

Strange, I definitely knew it was one account per card when I bought my Vita. I honestly couldn't tell you where I read it or whether I misunderstood something but this definitely hasn't come as a surprise to me.

Your PSN ID is bonded to your memory card and your memory card is bonded to your Vita, MacKenzie said. So if you wanted to change different PSN users but use the same memory card, you would need to go factory reset.
Customers will be able to swap cards to use different PSN IDs on the same system, MacKenzie said. If you have more than one memory card, you can register a different PlayStation Network account on each.
You can also use them both on the same PSN account as well, she said.
[The] PSN account is tied to the hardware and the memory card, not just the card, a different Sony representative said in an e-mail, which means that if a second person is using your Vita, its not just a case of switching out memory cards, its clearing out all of your saved data on the Vita itself when you do the factory reset.
In other words, PlayStation Vita is intended to be played by only one user, the representative said.
