Få spelenheter har varit så piratdrabbade som PSP och Sony har naturligtvis lärt sig en hel del av detta. Därför har man försett PS Vita med ett starkt piratskydd som kommer att räcka länge, skriver Gamasutra som fått en pratstund med Sonys brittiska Playstation-boss Scott Rhode.

"That was front and center in the early specs of this machine. We needed to have something that would combat piracy from day one, and that's why the cards that you can purchase for the games are in their own proprietary format.", säger Rhode.

Han utvecklar sitt resonemang: "It's something that we felt was completely necessary to make sure that people could not pirate these games. I mean, it's a custom security solution on each one of these cartridges. That is something that we are confident will protect us from piracy for the long term."
