And what of those of us that already own UMVC3 on the PS3? Do we get to download the Vita version? Or do we have to RE-PURCHASE the digital version to cross-play a game we ALREADY OWN and have purchased TWICE already?
Keep doing this, and I may forget the whole "UMDs? What UMDs?" thing. Hope they do this with MGS collection.
That's actually really awesome of them. I thought we would get shafted and have to buy both versions twice. This is actually the best Vita news I've heard in some time. If this becomes standard and most Vita cross-play games come with both versions than that's really cool.
@Cornelius Klein Yeah I did a bit of digging - this article is flat-out WRONG. Here's how it actually works:
- Buy Hustle Kings on either PS3 OR PSVita, get the other version FREE
- Buy Wipeout 2048 on Vita and Wipeout HD Fury on PS3 and get HD FURY as FREE DLC for 2048 on the Vita when it comes out
- Buy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and any DLC you purchase works on BOTH versions.
That is not even remotely close to what this article is saying and I hope that it can be corrected.

What's the best price for Vita so far? Saw ad in ASDS 2 nite Vita @ £197 pretty sweet or HMV @ £299 with free game...talking of GAME they STILL don't have bundle or stand alone prices yet....ugh the waiting is killing me!!!!
If they gave me the PS3 or Vita Version for free when I bought the other version of MLB The Show 12 that would be enough to knock me off the fence and buy a Vita.
Sorry ASDA...memo to me use shrink ray to zap those fat fucking fingers or I'll break sweet Vita....
This post super misinforms people. The only game you get both ways if you own one version of it is Hustle Kinds. Wipeout HD and Fury you get if you already own the Vita version, not the other way around. And you can't get UMvC for free either way, the DLC is just cross compatible.
A little editing, perhaps?

Do you have a link for proof, becuase what Jim said is almost too good to be true.
If what Jim has is spot on then this is something that is truely glorious.

Need some clarity here.
Top Darts, Motorstorm RC, and Hustle Kings get free games on the opposing platform (Buy one, get the other free).
UMvC3 has cross compatible DLC.
Buying WipEout 2048 when you own WipEout HD or Fury gets you free track downloads for WipEout 2048 cross-play (WipEout HD tracks and WipEout Fury tracks respectively in two separate DLC downloads).

Damn I got excited over semi-misinterpreted reporting. Jim you don't get the Vita version of UMVC 3 free you get to share the DLC between them. It's the first party Sony stuff that's available on both plats, but we already knew that.

Wow, after the Atlus-Sega article getting it completely wrong and then this one, I really start to wonder about how much research and thought goes into Destructoid posts nowadays. What can I actually trust on this website?
Well fuck. Guess the old saying "if it's too good to be true than it probably isn't" applies here.
Oh well, they COULD have made a huge cash grab and got a ton of positive press, but as we all know, Sony has a severe allergic reaction to positive PR. Its the same condition ea, activision, capcom and ubisoft have.
Being cool makes em itchy and irritable.

Well Jim Sterling it may be the first time you lying to make Sony looks good but is not the first time you lying to make Sony looks bad, in fact, that is practically your job.
Still cool, i wanted to buy hustle king for the ps vita, but was not sure because i have it on ps3. So i'm happy to have it on ps v too !!!
I hope game like NHL 13 or NFL 13 do a combo like this. They even could make the game cost more.
Like 79$ for NHL 13 ps3 and a Downloaded code or card of NHL 13 on psv.
I think it would work great for sport game! Continuing your season on the go would rock.

You actually need to have purchased the Wipeout HD Fury stuff on PS3 already, to get it free on Vita, otherwise it will be up for sale for everyone else.

I am confused as to how I get my Shuma Gorath and Jill Valentine I've already "paid" for (collector's edition downloads) on my Vita version of UMVC3. I thought they were supposed to carry over?
Still sweet.
I own Hustle kings, so there's a free Vita game.
I'm totally buying Motorstorm RC, so there's a free PS3 game.
Win win.
I wonder how they will do it for RUIN!?

they can't offer free Vita downloads for 3rd party games unless the publisher agrees to it. Hustle Kings and Wipeout are published by Sony which is why they can do that. UMvC3 is obviously a Capcom product, which why why they stated "Our friends at Capcom are also offering shared content for no additional cost with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3."
