Along with the video, here are the basic steps:
1) Sync your trophies with PSN
2) Remove the first PSN profile's associated memory card
3) Restart the system
4) Restore "Factory Settings"
5) "Deactivate" the system
6) Enter the new PSN account info you wish to switch to
7) Insert the memory card associated to the new PSN Account
Cool Man (aka Tustin) Re-activate your Vita on the PSN



Not sure if this is outdated or still even works. Anyone know if it still works & If i was to buy games on my us account can i play them and unlock trophies with my uk account?

Multi account like PS3 would be better. Erase, restart and lost our saves on psn games. sony:n:
