Will it be possible for third parties to make a card adapter that can convert an SD card to a PSV card? Also can you move games from the PSV card to another hard drive?? If yes to both then I might consider getting one when Christmas comes around depending on the game selection.

More than likely will happen with micro SD cards. But by Christmas official ones will be cheaper too.

If it does happen they will be forced to make them cheaper. We'll see what happens.

This is the most obvious way to workaround the card so Sony will have without a doubt implemented a measure against this, Sony made the cards proprietary for the main reason of security. If you can't simply plug any old card into the Vita then it's suddenly a lot harder to copy the pirated games as Vita requires a bit of software on your PC to interact with your PC and even at that it's the Vita that controls all transfers so if it is asked to transfer pirated software then it'll flat out refuse, the PC software is just like a portal to transfer downloads. I'm not saying you're a pirate as the cards do cost a lot and it sucks big time, just that they have taken a lot of time to design a fairly good way to stop us using a $10 card from ebay.

I'm inclined to agree with this. People aren't happy about the proprietary memory cards and how expensive they are. At the end of the day if piracy wasn't so common in the video games npmarkwt and if it hadn't affected the PSP as badly as it did then Sony wouldn't have to take such drastic measures.

I believe you can't play pirated games though, I thought it was the psp emulator that had the same flaws as the normal psp.

No you cant play pirated games on it yet but the fact of the matter is they are in the system. thats the first step after that its super easy for them to figure out how to do things with the system that sony dosnt want them to do. personally im hoping they can get the ARM version of windows 8 working on it.

No it hasn't failed. It was the PSP side of things that was hacked not the Vita stuff.
