Vita Games not pre-owned friendly

[Demon_Skeith]

You can earn trophies with used PS Vita games. While Sony's system is cool, it's been set up to make it difficult to earn trophies if you buy a pre-owned game, so difficult, in fact, when you play a used game, you get this message:

"You cannot earn trophies in this application. Only the first player to use an application can earn trophies. To earn trophies, you must link the Sony Entertainment Network account of the first player to use this application with the PS Vita system."​

But there is a PS Vita trophy work-around! It's pretty basic, and it boils down to deleting all the previous information off a Vita card.
Website Pocket-Gamer has a step-by-step tutorial for you, so check it out if you want to earn trophies from used game.

Oh wow really? They really are trying to crack down on used games great to see there is a way around it but I personally feel that this shouldn't be the case.

I buy most games from Amazon now anyways because they sell games cheaper, so it doesn't really effect me.

Hopefully, they realize this will drop the sales of their systems and change this policy.

do they really sell new gamers cheaper? And still cheaper with shipping cost?

I use Amazon mostly now, and I always get new games cheap. And if you get PC download games, which is what I usually do, you get the games sometimes for half off. I got Assassin's Creed Revelations as a download for $25.
