Sony has confirmed Cross Play and shared DLC for a number of PlayStation 3 and PS Vita titles.
In a press release just issued, SCEE confirmed that MotorStorm RC, Top Darts, Hustle Kings, WipEout HD and HD Fury DLC for WipEout 2048 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 DLC is to be one price for access to play across both PS Vita and PS3 systems.
Basically, they’re saying that the content can be purchased via the Store and will be able to be played on both PS3 and Vita for the one price.
“For those who already own any of these titles for their PS3 systems, will be able to download this same content to their PS Vita systems for free, and vice versa,” says the statement.
The same press release also confirms Cross play for MotorStorm RC, Hustle Kings, Top Darts and WipEout. We tried Cross Play with Hustle Kings today and it worked perfectly.
Cross Play allows users to compete with gamers regardless of which system they are playing on.
Also nice to get confirmation that WipEout 2048 will be getting the HD Fury DLC, something that was hinted at in our interview with the developers a few weeks back.

Sounds like a good idea but will it be restricted to new copies of the Vita versions of games, that people own on PS3 and one PSN account?
I wonder if it’s possible to play online on the Vita and PS3 at the same time? For example, a mate wants to try out the online function and you’ve agreed to let him but want to kick his butt online using your vita.
