Question on PS VITA's Main Concern on Cross Platform Play

Do you have to buy both versions of the same game to play on either your PS3 or PSV such as Street Fighter X Tekken or just one version from either platform? For example, if I buy the PS3 version of the game and want to play on my Vita, will it work by streaming the game on it or do I have to buy the Vita version in order to have that functionality?

The PSP had something called "game sharing" which would allow for doing things like sharing one disc amoung PSP owners for multi-play. There where likely other features associated with "game sharing" however, you must research that.

The Ps Vita could very well have some kind of "game sharing" software feature. Nothing has been made official, yet.

Maybe, Sony has been discrete on specific PS Vita OS features.

Well what you guys said related to what I asked seems promising. I haven't ever played a PSP, I ended up getting the DS instead. This time it is the Vita's turn for me. :P

Yes.

If you buy the physical version, probably.

Would be cool if Sony had a Digitial deal where if you bought it digitally you could download it on both platforms.

Yes.

Common sense.

I think Sony was a little vague on this. I think that they said something about "looking into dual-launches" to see if it was a viable option, but they aren't sure yet whether all or some games will support this.Granpire

[QUOTE="e_stone001"] How do you know that info because I looked everywhere on the net and couldn't find any information on it. Have you tried it at E3 or something?e_stone001

Common sense.

Companies like money. Giving you two games for the price of one at launch is entirely counter-intuitive.

I would gather that the PSvita and PS3 games that are Cross compatible would be the download able titles that you download from Playstation store and install on both PS3 and PSV
