US or Multi Accounts on UK PSP GO? Possible? How?

[SuperDanX]

Hi there, fancy another psp I think?
Might get a psp go this time. If i buy a uk psp go, is it possible to set it up with a US account instead of a UK one? Also is it possible to have multiple accounts on one machine? How can any of this be done if at all? Sorry if it's been asked before, thanks in advance.

One account at a time. You have to sign in each one seperately.

Oh, that simple eh? Didn't think it would let you host additional
accounts once you created the first one. Ok. Thanks.

EDIT: having never created a psn account, is there jiggery pockery/black magic involved with creating a US/JPN account?

You'll have to delete your old account from your PSP and then sign in to the new one, and nothing you've downloaded will work if you've got the wrong account set up at the time, or something.

It's easy to set up other accounts, just go from the US Playstation.com and use a US address, etc.

I presume it is the same as the PS3 in that respect. Just need a reasonably valid address. Paying for stuff is the only real problem. I fortunately was given a couple of US PSN cards when I had to send a couple of games to the US. Only $15 left now I think.

You may be able to buy the cards on Ebay though (not checked). VG+ do Canandian cards which are emailed, so no shipping charge. I presume a Canadian Account would be adequate for your needs.

Ok, thanks guys, ill probably just get a US account and stick with that if I go with the GO Changing about sounds like a PIA. Stupid question maybe, but would I need a broadband connection for downloads? I've only got one of those lame 3g dongle things for my laptop, that be ok or too slow?

Set up your us account with an email address similar to your uk one e.g. tag 'us' on the end. use the same password as well and then, when you need to delete and then add an account when you want to switch you'll find it's quite quick.

In addition, if you pair your psp go with a mobile phone then you can use your phone to get internet access. this allows you to switch accounts even if you have no wifi access i.e. while you're on the go!

Thanks for the info, having read up a little re downloads, I think a 3g set up is going to be too slow to be worthwhile. Shame I really like the concept of the go but I think I'll have to get a psp 3000 sadly. Would prefer a go tho.
