Want to Share Your Vita with Someone on a Different PSN Account? Too Bad

Want to Share Your Vita with Someone on a Different PSN Account? Too Bad

Recently, the news whether or not Sony’s newest handheld will allow for multiple PSN accounts per device or not and we finally have solid answers. A PSN account is not only tied to just a memory card, it’s tied to both the card and the Vita it’s self, Sony told Wired.

What this means for the customer is that “If a second person is using your Vita, it’s not just a case of switching out memory cards, it’s clearing out all of your saved data on the Vita itself when you do the factory reset.” Which, I guess, is their way of trying to combat piracy and make sure no one tries any work around (like that will ever work) in addition annoying the customers of families. Hopefully you didn’t plan on sharing your handheld with a sibling or use that Japanese account to get import games on your American Vita.

DDR On PS3 MOVE To The Music

DDR On PS3 MOVE To The Music

One franchise that hasn’t made the headlines in quite a while is the DanceDanceRevolution series, that has taken it upon itself to lower childhood obesity. It may have little attention due to it’s less than stellar Xbox iterations of recent years, that attempted innovation but did not have the setlist to appeal to us fans. I know this because I am the resident DDR fan here at IGX, I have played all console versions up to the 360 releases. The main reason for this was because the songs appearing in those games were overflowing with ones that appeal to 12 – 18 year old girls and less BEMANI created songs, which most retro dancers enjoyed.
