We kind of thought that the Vita would be region-free, and at E3 we heard some positive news, but now we know for sure.
According to1UP, Sony Computer Entertainment’s president of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida confirmed it. In response to a question sent to him onTwitterabout Vita being region free, he said, “Yes, it is.”
Guess what I’m doing in December?
I said I wouldn’t be buying boxed games for the Vita, but now it looks like I am. That’s cool. If the PlayStation Network stays the way it is, you’ll need a Japanese credit card or point cards to pull down PSN titles. Still, it’s great to hear that importing is officially a go. If Japanese language and terrible exchange rates aren’t a hurdle for you, get your order in now!
