Street Fighter X Tekken to Share DLC Across Vita, PS3

If you're using the same PSN account, no need to buy the same stuff twice.

What? Yes. Yes, yes, yes and yes. That's a bear farting. You win this round, Ono.

It never feels good to buy something twice, especially when it's the same damn thing. That sounds like the story of any hardcore Nintendo fan (I kid!), but with Vita expected to receive ports more or less in line with PlayStation 3 versions, it poses an interesting question regarding the portability of content.

Capcom has a solution for Street Fighter X Tekken: the content works across platforms.

In an interview with Joystiq, producer Yoshinori Ono said downloadable content released for the PS3 version of Street Fighter X Tekken should work on the Vita version, too, provided you're using the same PlayStation Network account on both.

"Yes, they're different hardware, but they're part of the same PlayStation family, so to speak, so we're already talking with Sony about ways to sync things together," said Ono.

There aren't many games where this cross-compatibility would work, but for the times it would, this sounds pretty great.

This is the greatest thing I've heard about a game I won't be playing on Vita. The fact that you can do it is pretty awesome even if I won't take advantage of it.

So what you're saying is that I don't have to buy the DLC twice after I bought the game twice? Nice!

This gives me hope on companies bundling PS3 and PSV games at a discount if they are not gonna double dip on DLC.

Great! So you don't have to buy both versions at full price, either, right?

It's a neat idea but the fact you have to buy the game twice is a non started for me.

What would be nice was if they gave you a coupon to get the vita version half price as that would be ok, A free copy for the vita would be even better but that's a dream thought, I very much doubt many people will buy the exact same game twice just to be able to play it on the go when that £30-£40 could be spent on a different game.

The deal signed between Capcom and Namco is a one game deal for each company. In other words Capcom can't make multiple versions like they can with their own games.
