Report: Vita limited to one PSN account per console

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...1303941332.jpgSay goodbye to your convenient Japanese PSN account. NeoGAFfer mehdi_san took part in a PlayStation Vita demo event in Osaka, and received a flyer with launch information. A note at the end, according to the user's transcription, reveals that only one user account can be used on a Vita system. "If you want to use a different account," the (translated) FAQ entry reads, "you need to format the system to factory settings."

This leads not only to the inability to have separate user accounts for family members, but to de facto region locking for digital content. Taken with thelimited UMD Passport launch lineup, the limited (to zero) PSOne Classics launch lineup, and those memory card prices, the Vita is starting to lose some of its luster, at least as a day-one purchase. But that screen!
