Saw this in the Hohokum (new Honeyslug + Sony Santa Monica PSN game) thread and thought it deserved a new thread.

Can you imagine if some console manufacturer made you buy the same game 3 times?
Would be hilarious.

That would be glorious.
If this was limited to digital purchases *only* (hypothetically) I would buy a TON more digital games.

Well thats what Nintendo does with their older games.

That kind of stuff would definitely help get buyers during the generational transition.
Plus, it's always awesome when you buy a new console and already have games on it.

I'll end up buying the new Smash game for the 3DS and Wii U most likely. Would love it if Nintendo does a similar thing in the future.
Sony needs to call it that.
I didnt expect 3 way cross buy. I assumed theyd do something where we would get the Vita version and then have to pick between PS3 or PS4.

Why would you play it on PS3 if you have a PS4? This seems sort of superfluous.

What a strange comment. Nobody said you have to play it on PS3.

Well, if you buy the PS3 version, you would also get the PS4\Vita versions (in case you ever upgraded\extra incentive to upgrade).
As far as buying the PS4 version and getting the PS3\Vita versions...I suppose it would give you more of an ability to go to your buddy's house and continue your game if they only owned a PS3.
Either way...more is better.

Naughty Dog will never make a game for Vita, and I don't even know how you'd compress GT6 to fit in 4GB.

You don't own a PS4 yet and play the game on PS3. You later buy PS4 and you own the PS4 version of the game without having to buy it again. Simple.

Maybe this could be a workaround for some older PSN games on the PS4? If the devs are willing to re-code it to work with the PS4, maybe?
My thought is you'd play it on PS3, then when you got a PS4, the PS4 version of the game would be there waiting, so you don't have to worry about backward compatibility.
After you buy a PS4, I guess it depends on if you have your PS3 still hooked up to the same TV. If you've moved it to your bedroom, or whatever, then you might still play that version.

This. Its what I'm doing with Vita crossbuy now. If I ever buy a Vita I've got 5 or 6 games for it already

That makes sense. Pretty cool then. Wonder if they'll do this with any big releases.
