    my country is only half-supported by psn. i can create a psn-account, but there is no psn-store.

    so if you want to buy psn-games, you are basically forced to have additional accounts registered to countries where there is a psn-store.

    on the ps3 this is not a big deal, because one can buy a game on a UK account, and play it on the other accounts on the ps3 (and get trophies etc.)

    does such thing works somehow on the VITA?

    let's make a specific example:

    can i buy a vita-game on a UK account, and play it on a german account?

    Hey man I am going to be facing similar issue because I am going back home to India from the UK. I have a UK account and will be making an Indian account soon, so I was wondering whether I can pay with my indian debit/credit card for games on my UK account? thanks.

    As for your question nope you cant play the games you have on a different account.

    Vita is DRM, except its worse, because you pay 300 dollars for it.

    You can only play games you bought on that specific account, but changing between accounts is pretty easy.
