Wipeout HD and Fury would be infact a great additon to the Vita.
I like the Vita and 2048 is fun.
I hope that they don’t mess that up somehow.

i just bought Wipeout in a retail store on a cartridge but before I open it I was hoping I could verify that I will still get the free WipEout 2048’s DLC packs, WipEout HD and HD Fury for free when they launch on PS Vita later this spring. Or does this only apply to those who buy them both through the PSN. I have the PS3 versions that I got for free from the network outage deal, so do I need to buy the VITA version of 2048 via PSN or will I be okay with my retail purchase?

Please respond and let me know as I am looking forward to giving this a go.

“Dear Mr. CEO of Electronic Arts… I bought Madden 13 for the Nintendo 3DS, and I demand the PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, Wii, WiiU, AND PC versions, because I spent $29.99, and you guys are trying to make money! How dare you want to invest the money I spend on your product to make OTHER products! I demand everything for nothing. Love, Spoiled Rodney”

While I do agree it would be nice for a $5 or $10 discount for those who already purchased the PS3 version, I understand the logistics of such a program would be mindbending. How can Sony prove that the copy of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on the PS3 was purchased by me, and not a rental from Gamefly? Maybe future titles will include a coupon for cross platform discounts, but I honestly find that impractical.

Sony, and the third party developers, are in the business to make money. Not ONLY to satisfy the whims of fanboys. Those of you who work, do you go to your job everyday just because you want to see your customer smile? No, you do it because at the end of the week/month you draw a paycheck. Let these developers draw their paychecks. If multiple platforms is too expensive for you, pick the platform that works best for the game you are buying. If you play sports games with your friends, buy the console version. If you primarily plan to play Mortal Kombat while sitting on the toilet, then buy the Vita version.

No need to start an “Occupy Sony” movement. This is rather childish. Sony went above and beyond anything any other manufacturer **cough Nintendo cough** in trying to blend the home experience with the portable experience. Thank them by supporting this decision with dollars, not derision. Sony could have just as easily made a slight, 3D improvement to the PSP and called it the PSP3D, and filled it with watered down, flat versions of real games, but no, they went petal-to-the-metal to create a solid gaming experience in the palms of your sweaty, greedy hands.

And for the record, no, I do not work for Sony or any of it’s affiliates. I am not paid, nor receive compensation for my view. What I am is an adult who is very concerned by the actions he sees coming from people who believe they are entitled to the work of people who make things without any form of compensation to those people.

How are you guys confused over the Wipeout 2048/HD/Fury thing? It’s plain english!

Also, to you wackos that think you deserve all platforms because you bought one version… STOP TAKING THE HALLUCINOGENS! Why should you get the portable version for free? The game had to be hand crafted for the Vita… that involved time and money. The producers are entitled to compensation for their work. Nintendo makes Super Mario Olympics for the Wii, do you demand it for free on the 3DS? No. Why? It’s a different experience.

Same with the PS3/Vita. The Vita version of the ported games have added touch features not found on the PS3 version. It is also a different code as well. The mere fact they are doing favors by sharing DLC between formats is a blessing. This isn’t a Bluray disc with a low resolution iTunes code for a barebones movie, it’s a fully functioning game!

So much confusion out there… I just want to know if I will be able to voice chat between my Vita and my friends PS3 if we’re online using CrossPlay gaming together with the same game…

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE CORRECT ANSWER BECAUSE SONY DOESN’T!!

Wipeout 2048 it is then. Wipeout HD and fury have many more manufacturers of ships and 12 tracks. Since I already own both this is a no brainer tomorrow me and Wipeout become friends. Oh… to potential or soon to be Vita owners you will not regret your purchase. Very good job on the hardware Sony. Hope you sell a boat load because you guys DESERVE it.

IGN says this deal extends to Top Darts and Motorstorm R.C. as well. I don’t know where they got that information, but is that really the case?
