I love how all the "known" people are ganging up on kowenicki. Oh wait, Turkish is still missing. I hope he's alright.

That said, cross buy is bullshit. It's nothing more than a consolation prize. Why would I need cross buy when they promised me remote play? How do I manage to get all those ~4GB digital PS Vita games on my 8 GB Memory Card? How are those games free when I have to drop another 80€ to get a 32GB card to make use of this promotion? My 8GB card is already brimmed and I recently began to move games around via content manager. And boy, is that a major inconvenience. It took at least 10 minutes to get Escape Plan (~2GB) off my memory card and onto my PC. Now I CAN NOT WAIT to swap my games this way in the future. PSABR on my Vita and the urge to play Sly 4? No problem, just boot the PC up and a quick 30 minutes later the games are swapped and you are good to go! Fuck this shit. This is not how portable gaming works.

The bottom line of this post is this: The storage premium is way too high to make this promotion worthwile for anyone but the most hardcore and dedicated Sony followers.

There are no 4gb vita games for download. The biggest ones are around 1.5 gb. And Escape plan is 800MB. But please continue to complain about free stuff.
