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.
That's actually kind of neat.
Good stuff. They should have implemented this for the PC & 360 versions of Super Street Fighter IV, though.
Rolento!!!!!
Oh shit, Rolento is in this?
... except you'll have to pay for the same game twice.
OMG ROLENTO!!?!!?!!?!?!? HOLY SHIT!

Also, this.
Wow...That is awesome.
I'm going PS3 for SFxT, having all my other fighters locked to the 360. This is making the Vita even more appealing as I can practice when I'm not at home!
That's fucking Rolento. When did he get announced?

During TGS.

Not too long ago.
A portable arcade stick dock for your PSV sounds like the just the right kind of dumb. I'm guessing we're to not take this as gospel just yet, as the direct quote appears to be that they are merely in talks about this sort of syncing, it'd be great if it happens.
Capcom doing something generous with regard to DLC? *pinches self*
Totally awesome. Def will be picking up both games.
The future is nigh! TRANSFARRING!
i have to say making that vita that little bit more tempting. i was going to get it on vita regardless as it seems to be getting more and more street fighter X tekken X sony the more exclusive fighters they announce
