Report: Only One PSN Account Allowed Per Vita
It's not unusual to set up multiple accounts on your PS3. Maybe some are there for your friends and family or you have some foreign accounts set up. Unfortunately, there's a report that the Vita handheld can only be synched with one PSN account.
NeoGAF user medhi_san attended a Vita launch event in Osaka, Japan, and an FAQ in the literature for the handheld states that only one PSN account can be registered per Vita. Switching the associated account can only be done through a reset of the system's factory settings. Sony says that the PSP also limits gamers to one account, but it just doesn't require a factory reset to login to a new account. By definition a factory reset wipes all your data and brings you back to nothing.
This would presumably prevent you from sharing saves or other content with friends, as well as setting up foreign accounts to access downloadable games, etc. from other countries.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
