“You can also use them both on the same PSN account,” she added. But you can register different PSN accounts to different memory cards and then swap them as needed. So if you wanted to change different PSN users but use the same memory card, you would need to go factory reset,” she explained. “Your PSN ID is bonded to your memory card and your memory card is bonded to your Vita. Users will still have to restore the Vita to its factory default settings to change the PSN account on a single memory card, but multiple memory cards can be used to access multiple PSN accounts on a single Vita. Not exactly the most user-friendly move possible, in other words.īut that’s not actually the case, according to Sony Associate Brand Marketing Manager Crystal MacKenzie, who told Wired that PSN accounts will be linked to the Vita’s memory card rather than to the Vita itself.
This is obviously problematic for families who want to share a single Vita, for example, and also effectively region-locks the device by preventing users from creating multiple accounts in order to access content that’s only available to specific regions. Word came out yesterday that Sony’s new handheld, the PlayStation Vita, will only support a single PlayStation Network account, and that in order to use a different account the device will have to be formatted and reset to factory settings first. Sony says that the upcoming PlayStation Vita will be able to support multiple PSN accounts after all, but it’ll take a little horsing around to make it happen.
