Multiple PSN accounts is possible on PS Vita .

"Your PSN ID is bonded to your memory card and your memory card is bonded to your Vita,” MacKenzie said. “So if you wanted to change different PSN users but use the same memory card, you would need to go factory reset.”

The account is stored in memory card... so the Vita can use witch memory card you want... one account per memory card.

In PS3 the game is device AND account locked. You must have the account registered in your system. Also the game supports only 5 devices at a time.


If you have a game on your PS3 and delete the acc of that game, you can't play anymore.


Also, I think that this propietary card is not only for money. Probably the card will function like the hard drive from the PS3, very encrypted and all.

 

But we have do admit that having to buy 2 memory cards to play with 2 differents accounts seems stupid.

Also, it kills Digital Games for me. I always share my VGs with my brother. So just me will be able to play my downloaded games(to win trophies).

Sony should just make different partitions in the same MC.

I suppose it is slightly frustrating but I'll use "Formula1Fanboy" for the rest of Sony accounts. I can't decide whether to purchase a 3DS or PS Vita on the basis that I want Mario Kart 7 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
