PlayStation®Vita Technical Help

If you haven't figured it out yet. Format - restore the ps vita system - restore - system will close all apps "YES" - restored to default "YES" - When it asks if you want to deactivate say "NO" that worked for me I got mine off of Craig's list from the previous owner.

I just bought a Vita, it was pre owned. It is still linked to the previous owners account and I know any of his details, how can I get it tied to my PSn account? Thanks.

i went to restore my PS Vita and deactivate but then it takes me to enter my PS vita email and password, it doesn't go through the full deactivation.  What can I do? this was a purchase from a second owner. HELPPPPPPPPP

Sony didn't make it easy to deactivate the PS Vita. I deactivated via my PS Vita like 20 times and it wasn't doing anything, and then I was told to do the old factory reset or whatever it was, and it reset it back to 'out of the box' settings.

I was still activated to it though, as I recently found out.
If you buy a second hand PS Vita, be warned of this, the previous owner did probably try deactivating it.

Buying another PS Vita next week though (still gutted we can't get it in White yet).

Lets say a friend sold me his Vita,

He has a game bought and downloaded onto the Vita already, on his account...
