Step 22. Done! Repeat this as many times as you like with as many regions as you want!
Fantastic work mate!
Is there any chance that my Vita is in danger?(Aka could this brick my Vita?)
No dangers are known.
You said I can't download any paid stuff from the region I want my demo's etc. from, why?
Okay there are a few answers here:
Your are completely switching from region, example you hate Europe and you want Japan as main region, you will not use your Europe account again since you don't have paid for anything. Then you can buy all you want since you will stay on the other region.
Your are switching for one download because Japan has a super duper awesome demo while America does not have this demo. After downloading the demo you switch back to your American account. I don't know the exact reason, but content you've bought with Yens won't work when you switch back to your US account.
Could Sony ban me from PSN?
They won't as far as I know.
1. Add pictures of the process.
2. Add more A&Q if needed+ any additional info.
