Sony: Cross-Buy is 'at present, just for Europe'

So Sony's recently announced feature Cross-Buy, which will let you download the Vita version of a game for free when you buy the PS3 version, is apparently only going to be available in Europe for the time being, with Sony telling Famitsu that it will be 'at present, just for Europe'.

What's most confusing about this is that Sony's US PlayStation Blog is still saying it will have the feature on certain games, but they're not using the term 'Cross-Buy'. Seems like your typical Sony bullshit if you ask me.

Anyways what do you guys think? If this is true then it sucks for everyone outside of Europe, although on the other hand SUCK IT EVERYONE ELSE! Now you know how it feels!

YEAH! EUROPE! YEAH! WE CONQUERED THE WORLD, NOW WE OWN YOUR CROSS-BUY! YEAH!

*coughs and clears throat*

Wait, what? I don't... what games are they releasing for the PS3 and Vita, anyway? So far the only one I know of is the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, and the Vita version of that is missing Peace Walker from what I recall reading.

Does Europe still get games half a week after the US does? 'Cause if they do, then I'll still tout my 'game release' superiority since I don't have a Vita anyway. SUCK IT HAZY.

[sub]Note for people with delicate sensibilities: That last bit was a joke. [/sub]

Off the top of my head Playstation All Stars, Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time and the new Ratchet and Clank game. I'm sure there are others.

Depends on the title

Well, I'm not really... interested in any of those games anyway. I never played Sly Cooper or Rachet and Clank and Sony Smash Bros Playstation All Stars looks fun, but I don't know if I'll get it or not because I don't tend to even play Super Smash Bros that often.

And I still don't have a Vita since that last post.

Like I said there may be more games that I'm not sure about, but anyway it's just a way to entice people to buy a Vita. That and probably to push the idea that PS3/Vita connectivity can compete with the Wii U.

Everyone knows the Playstation Move competed so well with the Wii, right?

Well it didn't do terribly to be fair.

I can see the reasoning though because then Sony can be like 'hey if you've already got a PS3 then why bother getting a Wii U? Just get a Vita and you can take your games with you as well'

I'm just taking the piss out of Sony.

I can see the reasoning too, ever since I got a PSP one of the things I wanted it to do was play my PS3 games while I was 'on the move', so to speak.

**sigh**

It'd be incredibly stupid to remain Europe-only. I won't be affected by it since I most likely won't own a Vita, but still.
