With the PSP it didn't really matter. No trophies, no friends list, etc.
And no, it's not a better system. With the PSP you could just sign in and out of multiple accounts at any given time, which takes a few seconds.
With this I need to buy multiple memory cards, and even then, it's still restricted. Can't use downloaded content from a different region on your main PSN account for example.
To switch region on the PSP I need to copy a game from another region on it through the PS3/Media Go. You're still stuck with games across multiple accounts.
DD games would only start for the account that bought it unless you modded your psp.
I still stand by my point that they aren't meaning it for you to buy stuff on a foreign region PSN store.
Where are they storing your profile info anyway on the Vita? It must have a small amount of internal memory to store your trophies and everything? Maybe that's why you need a card for other profiles.
I mean it sucks because the cards are expensive but you guys still have the choice of waiting for the price to drop and for the cards to be on sale/wait for third party knockoff/wait until someone mod the Vita. Hopefully some games' DLC will be dowloaded directly on the game's card so it will be more user friendly.
I still have issue being angry at this to be honest. I'll wait for sales on cards to buy a second one so I can use my JP psones and psp games and I don't need to buy another console like the 3DS to play imports. At least you can swap profile directly through cards and don't need MediaGo Vita/PS3 to swap account.
Seeing how Nintendo didn't do well at 250$, I doubt the Vita will stay at that price for long anyway.
