Correct.
They tie in with the first profile that uses them, they then have to be reset for someone else to use them.

I actually like that feature but I can see why it would be a major pain in the ass for some users like the original poster

Really the game swap depends on the game. If it saves on the memory card then you will have to delete the save to earn trophies.. If the game saves to your memory card you will not have to.

I still find it odd how you delete the save.. special if you have not played it before.. Install.. Delete and Install..

Now when it comes to digital games.. No you cant share.. Also your psn account can only be activated on one vita at a time... So no way to have that psn with all the games on more then one vita at a time..

Now when it comes to other store demos.. I have some ideas I am messing with.. They really shouldn't of left the single backup files so open..

i need a bit of clarification then, since my original post.
my hubby has a memory card and i have a memory card but one PS Vita.
last nite he took his memory card out and factory reset Vita and put my memory card in and logged into my account and it worked (but was too tired at this stage to actually play any games) though he has not changed it back yet so dont kow if it will work 100%!!!

So in relation to the games if he has played that game and i want to play it will any trophies that he has not unlock on my memory card?

This is soooo confusing WHY SONY, WHY????????

Looks like a no-no so you're best off with physical media.

PS3 and PSP both allow two accounts to be activated per game allowing it to be possible on those, but they may have changed it on Vita. Not seen 100% confirmation of this and I'm not sure anyone here has properly tested?

Worth trying either way, it was possible on PSP so it might not be worth giving up yet.

Reason Sony only allow 1 Account on Vita is to combat Piracy (same reason, we have to pay for those expensive Memory Card, insted of using MicroSD etc).

I hope not PS4 or PS3 (Via Firmwire) get this Limitation, since it would make a lot of my PSN useless
