Ughnnnnf. Only a couple of days since I cancelled my Play-Asia order :|
Wtf is this. From the manual. So to get trophies i have to buy new. That blows donkey cock if im understanding correctly
You can only earn trophies on the PS Vita system on which you first start a game. If you play the game on another PS Vita system, you will not be able to earn trophies. If you sign up for PlayStation®Network, you can earn trophies on the other PS Vita system.
With the PS Vita card inserted in the PS Vita system that you first used to start the game, sign up for PlayStation®Network, and then start the game. Next, insert the PS Vita card into the other PS Vita system on which you want to play the game, and then sign up for PlayStation®Network using the same account. You are recognized as the same player who first started the game, and then you will be able to earn trophies.

Poor language considering they contradict their second sentence with their third. As long as you have a PSN account you should be fine.
If that is true, Sony is taking a massive swipe at the used game market.
Well, bad wording maybe. But that copy of the game is tied directly to the first PSN account that played it. So to earn trophies on a different system you would have to use the exact same PSN account.

VITA is gorgeous.
I'm kind of failing to see the problem here. The same thing applies to the PlayStation 3 system: if you get a second PS3, you have to create your user account, then sign into PSN and the system will sync with the server, and your trophies will then be on both systems.
Also, why would you want to play the game on two different Vitas? Shouldn't one Vita be enough?

Wow, I thought Vita Carts would end up being a touch larger then SD card but they're actually smaller? Mind blown.
Also, I still think the device looks ugly as fuck. What the fuck were Sony thinking with this "super oval" shit? It's too round.
I'm not actually sure about that trophy thing. The first sentence seems quite unequivocal. It's like the rest is the exception - that if you're the first account to play, you can earn trophies on other systems (but otherwise no?).
Wouldn't totally surprise me after online passes.

No, I'm pretty sure you read correctly. It says specifically that you can only get trophies on the ID that first started up the game. So people who play it on a different ID will not earn trophies.

Ouch. I love my trophies. No second hand games for me

If you buy a card used, you can reset it to factory settings which will erase any save data, and then you can earn trophies on a new ID / machine.
This makes sense now I think about it, because if one guy unlocks a bunch of trophies, and then saves a game, it would be too easy for another ID to unlock trophies if there wasn't some kind of checking mechanism in place.

Looks like a PSP knock-off by Fisherprice. It's got no edge (both literally and figuratively).
phew. that would have been a horrible precedent.
just you wait until the beautiful colors start releasing~

OK.
Now let's never speak of this again in case someone overhears us and starts thinking about Trophy Passes
I'm afraid the answer is "no".

The text in the link I showed Jonny is actually very clear. Assuming that text is the same as what's in the game manual (it sounds like it is, though 100% verification would be nice), then the person who translated that just didn't do a very good job.

Does this mean you cannot share the game if more than one people want Trophy ?

Doubt most kids care much about trophies, or that it will matter much to the kids when getting a VITA

the one account thing is shitty already, but its still possible to bypass and login a second one.But this mean i cannot share my game at all .well i guess i have to ask my family to give up trophy if i ever buy vita. At least they can play the games 
EDIT.
wait i do not think this apply to games that save to the vita memory card right?
Guess sony going all out to combat pirates ,2nd hand sales and game sharing.
And they really want to sell their memory card.

Was it this page? http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/trophies/about.html
