Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation Vita will region-lock all digital content.
If you need to switch to a different PSN account the hanheld will need to be factory reset, says Sony Japan's Third-Party Relations chief Brad Douglas.
Just like the PSPs of the past, gamers can only use one account.
Physical media will remain region-free but gamers who are fans of region-specific PSN content will not be able to access the content without factory resetting their console.
Admitted Douglas, however (via Reg):
The Vita is not region-locked, but that only applies to physical media. Don't know the rationale behind locking digital.
