This needs to be the case for EVERY cross Vita/PS3 game. I don't love Metal Gear enough to pay an extra $40 for Transfarring and I'm only going to pay once to see Jehuty in 1080p.
I am so happy I don't have to "guy" this game twice.
Lol sorry that typo had me rereading that sentence like five times.
I'd be an asshole if I didn't mention it :-D

I listen to the soundtrack in my car almost everyday, great chiptunes! I was already going to buy one copy, Having the ability to bring it with me is awesome!
I will not buy any game twice, but I will buy most of the games that let me play wherever I want. Unless it's something I really don't care about, like Foosball.

Oh man, that's awesome! I wish every Vita/PS3 game had this model, as I don't think anyone wants to pay for the same game twice regardless of its portability, and I know I would end up paying more for games than I do now.
More of this, less Sly Cooper-style bullshit. This will make me buy this game on Sony for sure, when I was kind of on the fence about buying it at all.
Now THIS is some great news! Portal 2, Motorstorm Rc and this should be leading the way for all game releases (Lookin at you, Playstation smash bros thing)
"Only the obsessed or the foolish could want to pay twice for the same game, and if that's what Sony wants, cross-play will be largely useless."
That is so fucking arrogant. This is a presumably $15 PSN title. Much like all of Sony's first party PS3/Vita PSN offerings (if you paid attention you'd know that), porting between platforms is cheap enough where Cross Play is free, and that's why it works financially. These guys aren't doing anything new, as great as it is.
When it comes to AAA games that have near console development budgets, it's ridiculous to ask Sony or a third party to say "hey, pay this entire team a full salary to port this game to Vita so we can give it away for free". You have absolutely no concept of development costs.
$80 for a PS3/Vita bundle? Sure. They did that with MLB 12: The Show and I'd bet they'll do it for Sly and Battle Royale. But to say that anyone who buys a game twice is "obsessed" or "foolish" because you ignorantly assume that developing a Vita version is as easy a pressing a button and should be given away for free is just ridiculous.
Get a grip, Sterling.

This should be the deal with every game that supports cross platform features. I'd even pay a little more to get it.

Know what's arrogant? Charging us $35 for a game that is $5 on iOS (Dungeon Hunters) There's many other examples. You get a grip. all of the games on PSN (or nintendo and live) are at a premium value. It would be nice if we could get something back from our hard earned money for once.

Well, consider me officially interested in buying Retro City Rampage when it debuts. I love supporting companies that view their customers as actual human beings and not open wallets with legs.
While every game *should* do this, it is not a Sony decision, it is a PUBLISHER decision. In this case, the RCR peeps, who are self-publishing on PSN, decided to do this. Again, I repeat, the PUBLISHER decides how the game is sold and at what price.
Didn't the Pinball Arcade do this as well? I bought that once and can play that on both platforms. Hustle Kings as well.
Some games do it with just the DLC, and some with the entire game itself, yeah.
Publishers determine that, not SONY (unless it is a Sony-published title obviously).

Motorstorm RC did the same thing.
For games that work on both platforms (and support cross play, save sharing, etc), this is absolutely the way to go.

Perfect. Superior version(s) of the game confirmed.
My impulse Vita purchase last week is being vindicated :)

They just guaranteed my money right there. If more games did this, I would buy them a hell of a lot more. Even games I didn't really want to play, I'd buy for the sake of being able to bring it with me on the go, and continue playing at home.
However, every other game that's done this so far on the Vita and PS3 is asking you to pay $80 for both copies. I find that hysterical, and I end up not buying the game at all. I don't have to pay more when I get a DVD, Bluray, and digital copy all in one when I buy a movie. Why the hell should I pay more when I'm doing it for games?

Dude, if this thing was $10 for Vita and PS3 separately, I wouldn't mind throwing more money to the developer's way just because the game and dev are awesome. If it was $15 for both, that's okay, I'll just buy it again on another platform.
This decision earned them a sale from me. With many gaming choices, I tend to support the developers who implement feature and pricing models that I prefer. Hopefully Sony will make sure they get good exposure / marketing support for this title as it benefits them just as much. Win-Win, even without knowing the price that we will have to pay :)
This is one of those games where I feel like I've been hearing about it forever... and I'm starting to get sick of it. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably day-one buy the game, but every new article about it reminding me that it's not out yet is irritating.

Lol okay? I'm glad you're capable of bringing up something completely off topic that has absolutely nothing to do with the notion that you're entitled to something that cost time and money for a team of real people to develop.
Yea, Ubisoft was pretty shitty for putting Dungeon Hunters on Vita for $40 when what is effectively the same game is available on the OSX App Store for a couple bucks. That doesn't mean that anyone who bought two copies of MGS HD for $50 and $40 is an idiot, and it doesn't mean you're entitled to one for free if you bought the other one.
Stay on topic, kid.
