Sony details cross-platform play for PS Vita and PS3

Sony has reminded prospective PlayStation Vita owners of the wide array of cross-compatibility options it provides with the PlayStation 3.

The advanced handheld, which debuts in the UK this week, will be able to access much of the same content via the PlayStation Store as the PS3 can, including games such as Motorstorm RC, Hustle Kings and Top Darts.

Owners of both consoles who purchase certain games on one system will be able to re-download it for the other device at no extra cost, while some titles will even let PS Vita and PlayStation 3 owners compete against each other in multiplayer.

This also applies to downloadable content, so purchasing new characters and costumes in games such as Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will unlock the features on both PS3 and PS Vita.

Sony's newest console will arrive to much fanfare on February 22nd, boasting a gorgeous OLED touchscreen, dual analogue controls and unmatched graphics for a portable console.

Launch titles include Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, FIFA Football and many more.
