Oh dear.

They want you to buy a Vita. Duh.

i'm surprised that you aren't more pissed you had to buy the game to begin with. i mean wtf sony, you should be paying me to play your games. $25 an hour for the privilege of my attention sounds fair. but nooo, you have to act like you make a consumer product. fucking assholes.

You just summarized WHY they don't.

I know this is kind of in jest because that is what they're trying to prevent but I never thought in a million years this is how they would do it and no reviewer or game site mentioned it.  Kinda surprising is all.  Whatever hopefully enough people buy Sly

I was going to say I didn't really like Crossbuy at the moment because I bought Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (because Walmart didn't have Sly Cooper...i was so pissed...) and the Vita version is still not available yet. :(


why not just buy sly online?

Also you're doing it wrong.

Buy a Vita.

Buy the PS3 version.

Download the Vita version.

Sell the PS3 disc.

???

Profit.

How exactly does Cross Buy work? Do you have to have the game disc in your PS3 to download the Vita version? I assume there is also a one-time use code as well?


when you insert the disc into your ps3 if you have internet  the online pass (access to all online features) and the cross-buy product (digital version of the game for vita) is unlocked on psn tied to your account.  the games (ps3 disc and vita digital) if effectively tethered to your psn preventing you from selling off the code or disc for profit.

I prefer to have a physical copy of the game for the PS3 at least. I'm a collector and a gamer.

i get you, i sometimes sell games after im finished but there are games i just refuse to sell because i want to have an aweosme collection of awesome games

Thanks. You can still sell the PS3 disc though, right? And the person who buys it will not be able to get the digital version of the game for vita?
