There's a bonus feature for PlayStation Vita owners who have updated to the system's new firmware: Sony has locked memory cards to specific PlayStation Network accounts.

Gamers were previously able to switch PSN accounts via the slightly cumbersome process of "restoring" the system.

Now, those with content from multiple accounts or multiple regions will have to buy another memory card or lose their data.

One way to separate your content onto several memory cards is to copy it back to a PlayStation 3, NeoGAF users reported. But those with only one Vita memory card handy will need to go shopping first.

It's a problem that will hit users who have accounts on multiple PlayStation Stores - useful as not all content is released in all regions.

The move comes at an especially bad time - Sony has just enabled PSone game supportfor the Vita. Those who bought titles using a different PSN account to their handheld's will also need to juggle memory cards.

That's f*cked up!!!!

That's not cool. At all.

that is indeed not cool, but luckily I have a 2 memory card(8gb & 16gb) to try this method and also have all my stuff on one account.

This is going to sound blunt, but that's retarded! What's their reasoning for this?

Update? More like Downdate!

Also blunt, but most likely true indeed!

I don't see how this makes them money. It just adds another hurdle for Vita owners.

They could have easily just done what they did with the PSP, download content from multiple accounts but the content is only playable if the account it is tied to is activated.

how retarded are these people? it's like they don't want it to succeed...

short version: PSN Europe = sucks
We don't even get Counter Strike GO this week... when it was released everywhere else last week..
