Sony Implements Crossbuy Between PS3 and PS Vita
Sony implements Crossbuy, making Crossplay for Vita well worth it.
One of the advantages of the Vita that's often touted by Sony is its Crossplay ability with the PS3. Essentially, certain games available on both PS3 and the Vita can be picked up and played on either console, picking up from the last cloud save.
The only issues with the Vita's Crossplay abilities are cost and limited availability. Only a few games are available for Crossplay between the PS3 and the Vita. While Crossplay is convenient, it probably isn't enough to convince the run-of-the-mill customer to buy two copies of the same game at full retail price.
Sony's finally figured this out and has implemented CrossBuy. This means that when customers purchase certain PS3 games, they'll also receive the same game for free on Vita. Unfortunately, this promotion doesn't apply to current Crossplay games, so the only CrossBuy games thus so far are PlayStation All-Stars, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet & Clank QForce.
No doubt the Vita's slow sales have forced Sony's hand in this. We can only hope that more games get added to the Crossbuy lineup. Being able to take full advantage of the Vita's Crossplay features without having to hit the buck is a boon that's sure to draw more customers.

i agree with pc vs PS#, the pc is way better.
but a Galaxy s3 has nothing on the PSP in terms of gaming. you really fell hard on your head for thinking that.
tho i must say it take time get used to the control.
as for vita.. i give up on sony when sony give up on linux (yea.. i did install it on my ps3 just for the kick)
Color me impressed. Except that the CrossBuy feature is supported on a rather measly amount of first party titles. As it stands, it's more of a anecdote than anything else.
You have fun on your SIII. I'll enjoy my MAXX's battery at least twice as long as yours.
Not to mention the horrendous choice of games available.
No wonder this is a flop.
Galaxy S3
Yeah, have fun playing anything more than Angry Birds on that...
Will I ever use it, no I have the original PSP and used it a few times and thats it. Heck I used it for movies and music more than anything before I got my smartphone because it was handy for that on vacation.
If you are comparing it to PC, Nothing beats PC. PC is for heavy gamers like us.
Gaming PCs:
Pros: All out Ultra Graphics with 3D 1920X1200+ resolution, unlimited game storage, easily repair, PS3, X360, Wii compatible controllers (needs drivers), MOUSE n KEYBOARD! for the fastest aim snipe n shoot, list goes on n on
Cons: $$$... plus not compatible with game consoles, until someone makes an emulator for it
Game Consoles:
Pros: Cheap, 3D support, has many games that PC dont have, quality is decent
Cons: NO MOUSE n KEYBOARD! No upgrades, dumb down graphics so game consoles can play. obsolete within 3 years or even release date, Red ring, Yellow lights, bad disk, then good luck trying to revive it by reflowing, and the list goes on n on
Console and PC are two different gaming field. Its up to you on how you wish to play.
Cell phone? GS3 is nice, but gaming is hands down on the Xperia Play, although its outdated, just love the gaming pad. Sony should make a Xperia Play 2. But GS3 is nothing compare to PSVita, 3DS, Gaming PC and Consoles.
Don't be impressed until it actually happens. Sony has already made it clear they can remove features at their whim or just not deliver them at all. They feel no obligation to actually put out a crossplay game so long as they can claim it on the box.
