I'm holding my reservations until they confirm/deny you only need 1 copy of a game to play on both systems.

I suppose Downloadable games will be possible but I'm not sure how disc games will work.


ditto.  how have we not gotten an answer yet on this aspect.  we have seen so many games being shown as playable on both, yet no word yet on what this means.

 

Do we have to buy two versions of the same game?   how hard is that to answer

or is it like some blu ray movies that come with a digital download and/or dvd copy.  cause if buying say mgs5 for ps3 means you can play it on BOTH for that one same $60 price then thats great.  If this means you need to buy a $60 ps3 game AND a $40 PSV game then that shit.  OR if it means all these dual games like this are going to be a $80+ ps3 game then that is also shit.  What about those that don't have a psv, they have to now pay more for just the ps3 game?

someone freaken adress this question/problem. 

I think it depends on the consumers.

IMO there'll be a bunch of itterations before they find out the best fit.

1) Two separate

2) PS3 or PSVita separate, but if you have 1 you can pay a fee to play on on the other

3) Both together with cloud fee?

4) Both together

If it's as easy to develop for as SONY says, making the development cost of a Vita game small. Having both on one disc isn't that unlikely.
However, they might want to add some sort of code that will make you want to buy the game new.
I.E. each copy comes with an online activation code that a lot of games have in order to limit the number of used game sales.

There's a lot of different ways. Without knowing the economics it's hard to decide what is the best option. Companies are probably trying to figure this out now which is why they haven't mentioned specifics.
