For starters, gamers who purchase MotorStorm RC will be able to play the game on both PS3 and PS Vita at no extra charge.

Meanwhile, those of you who purchase WipEout 2048 and own WipEout HD and the HD Fury downloadable content for PS3 can download the latter in DLC form free of charge this spring.
Finally, if you own the PS3 version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and have bought any DLC for the fighter, you can use it for the PS Vita version at no extra cost, and vice versa.
