Hi
I am planning on getting a PS Vita for Christmas. I live in the United States.
My main reason for getting the Vita is to play all my favorite PSOne Classics on the go. Of the games I want, most are available. The trouble is, many are only available on the EU store. Now, I understand that you can actually access the European store simply by setting up your account as a European one (setting your country to 'UK' for example). And then of course, you have to have a European store card code (No problems there, I can buy the code direct from Amazon.co.uk).
Now, I get that the PS Vita can only have one account set up on it. To set up a new one, you have to do a factory reset. If I want US games, I will buy a second memory card and simply go through the reset motions every time I want to switch, with a US account set up for that card.
So my plan is this.
1) Buy a Vita
2) Buy a memory card
3) Set up a European account
4) Buy a European Store card code
5) Buy games from the European store with this code
6) ...
...
My question is, do any Vita experts see a problem with this plan? Is there something I am missing here? If I do reset the system between alternating two different memory cards, will the Vita just load up whatever account is on the memory card that is plugged into it, or is there a process? Sorry, I'm not at all familiar with this, and since I'm spending a sizable amount on it, I want to make sure I won't be disappointed.
