The PlayStation Vita will allow multiple PSN accounts per system, Sony has confirmed, going against earlier reports that each Vita could only have one PSN account. The only requirement is that you have one account per memory card.

Speaking to Wired, Sony associate brand marketing manager Crystal MacKenzie said: “Your PSN ID is bonded to your memory card and your memory card is bonded to your Vita. So if you wanted to change different PSN users but use the same memory card, you would need to go factory reset.”

If you want to have numerous accounts on a single Vita you’ll have to buy a proprietary Vita memory card for each user.

PlayStation Vita is due for release on February 22 in the UK. It’ll come in standard and 3G varieties, costing £229 and 279 respectively.
