Sony backtracks (again), multiple accounts not supported on PS Vita

First, we we’re told multiple user accounts were a no-go , then this was withdrawn. Now, it sort of feels that’s now been retracted. In line with an email send by a Sony representative to Wired, the PSN account at the PlayStation Vita is “tied to the hardware and the memory card” and an easy removable storage switch-out won’t suffice. You have to to hit the enormous red factory reset button so as to use an additional account on Sony’s online network, the entrance to both online gaming and their digital store. This will likely lock down the chance to flit between different regional networks — barring a wipe — and is something to reveal in mind if the temptation of an early Japanese release has you reaching for transpacific import options.
