FAQs:Will my UMD PSP games work?No, the Vita uses a new card based media for games.
Will my digital PSP games work?Yes and from an OS level you can change the right stick to control camera etc for PSP games.
Will my PSone downloads work?At the moment they are not compatible, this has been promised to be added, but no date has been set.
Is the system region free?You can play a game from any region, but things like DLC are region locked, so if you purchased a game from Japan you wouldn't be able to buy the DLC from the European store with that game card.
Can I use more than one PSN profile on the Vita?No, you have to reset the system to factory settings to add another account. You can back up all your games, saves to your PC and use another account without losing your data.
What size memory cards are available?In Europe we have 4,8 and 16GB cards, but you can import a 32GB from America or Japan.
