Sony continue their region-free commitment with the PS Vita
Yoshida discourages imports though
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the PS Vita would be region free like the PSP and its home console brother, the PS3.
While importing the device is possible Yoshida recommends waiting due to the specific peculiarities of the localised Japanese machine.
He said: "I personally do not recommend that. Sorry, I'm not explaining well, but from my experiences owning both US and J game consoles of everything, there tend to be minor nuisances." The chief example of this is the Japanese using the opposite buttons for accept and reject to Western gamers(O for yes and X for no instead of the other way round).
Sony also revealed the battery life for the PS Vita at three to five hours for games, five hours of videos and seven hours for music.
