EA Considering Cross Buy for Need for Speed Most Wanted
Will buying the PS3 version net you the Vita version free?

EA is considering utilizing Sony’s Cross Buy program for Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Cross Buy, which Sony announced earlier today, offers the Vita version of a game for free to customers who purchase it on PlayStation 3. Since Need for Speed: Most Wanted will be coming to both platforms, we reached out to EA to find out what they think.

“We’re taking it under consideration,” an EA spokesperson told IGN, “but we have no specific plans to announce at this time.”

While EA didn’t provide any additional comment, it’s certainly interesting that they didn’t outright say “no” as it introduces the possibility of third parties utilizing Cross Buy. With so many games headed to both PlayStation 3 and Vita in the coming months, what other games could take advantage of the program? Perhaps Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified?

For now, the only games that have been confirmed for Cross Buy are PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Keep checking back to IGN for news on any other titles confirmed for the program.

The PSblog has more features.......

PSone Classics Coming to PS Vita via the latest System Software Update (v1.80)

Hi, everyone. One of the key announcements coming out of Gamescom today is that the next PS Vita System Software Update (v1.80) is coming your way late August, and will add support for playing PSone Classics on your PlayStation Vita. I know a lot of you have been looking forward to playing original PlayStation titles on the go.

In addition, you will be able to make various setting changes while games are running and take screenshots of your gameplay.
*It might not be possible to take screenshots in some applications, or in some parts of applications.

Listed below are a few other new features that will be added with the 1.80 update:

Cross Controller

The new Cross-Controller feature will allow you to use PS Vita as a controller to play compatible games on PS3, such as LittleBigPlanet 2. This feature lets you take advantage of PS Vita’s rich features including the touch screen, rear touch pad, six-axis motion sensing system, and cameras.

To access the cross controller feature you need to launch the Remote Play application and then click on the Cross-Controller icon.


Controls

As many of you have requested, you will now have the option to control the home screen and some features of applications such as Videos and Music with the buttons on the PS Vita system.

Music

Playlists will be supported in Music. You will be able to transfer iTunes (10.6.3 or later), M3U, and M3U8 playlists from a PS3 or a PC using Content Manager.
Web Browser

Rear touch pad operation will be supported by the browser, allowing you to scroll through and zoom out of pages without obscuring the screen.[/LIST]

Video

The following controls have been added to Videos:

Playback speed control
Repeat play

Photos

Viewing photos in MPO format will now be supported, with the ability to transfer MPO files from PS3™ and PC using Content Manager.
* 3D and multi-angle viewing are NOT supported.

Group Messaging

Along with some new layout enhancements, you will be able to take photos to add as attachments when writing Group Messages.

Maps

The Maps feature has been improved by adding a button on the top screen to switch between “Search for Location” and “Search for Directions.” You can also touch and hold a location on the map and place a user flag.

“near”

“near” will be able to gather the information of surrounding Wi-Fi access points without internet connection and update the location data based on it later. You can get location data within the area covered by Wi-Fi location services.


Check back here after the update goes live for more details. And as always, stay tuned for more updates on PS Vita right here on PS.Blog.

I agree, it is awesome. I want to buy the Vita version, but I was planning on buying the 360 version. Man what to do.

I'm seriously thinking of just getting the Vita version. I like the camera view 100x better on the Vita (360/PS3 is pulled back too far for my liking), and now that I've confirmed that Dynamic Player Performance is indeed in the game, that was the seal of approval from me right there.

Very solid gameplay (can't adjust sliders in demo but that should really open things up; I'll be using SEC's set from Madden 12), crisp visuals, quality audio and a deep franchise mode will have me playing this game for a long time.

This could be the best sports game for the Vita once we get our hands on the retail version.

I have friends that I usually play OTP/ Versus with constantly, so that's what is holding me back. If I wasn't going back to school in September, I'd buy both, but sadly that isn't the case.

I really like the gameplay from the Vita version. Everything runs great aside from cut scenes and the audio sounding off from time to time. Not sure.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Madden on Vita is nice, but rough. Demo really feels like a demo. Hope the retail has some of the problems ironed out.

Madden on Vita is light years ahead of what I was expecting... Wow.

Well, personally, if I had to choose just one, I'd go with the console version. I was blown away by my time with it on PS3 last night. Best football game I've played in years.
