Sony reveals that they will only allow one Playstation Network ID per device. Doesn’t seem like too much of a big deal, but it makes it so other people you intend to share the device with-- siblings, roommates, etc. are not allowed to have their own account. Because of this, it also makes it impossible to play virtual downloads of games from other regions without reformatting the system and deleting all your files.

Really, all of this is just a nuisance. You can’t take advantage of Sony’s region-specific deals or download DLC outside your own region. It’s sort of a way to region-lock the device, without the device actually being region-locked. Of course, all of this is done with some reasoning. It limits virtual piracy, to some extent, by limiting the market of virtual downloads. I definitely am against the piracy of video games, but at the cost of limiting paying customers?

I can’t say this is a smart move, as it could hurt virtual sales. However, for some, it’s not too big of a deal. What do you guys think?
