Responding to a question about continuing your PS3 games on the move on Vita, Yoshida replied: “One of the games we’re making, called Ruin, we are developing both the Vita version and the PS3 version of that title. Both games will be packaged together.” He continued: “More games like Ruin will be released.”
It’s not just Sony who like the idea of Vita-PS3 game bundles though. “There is lots of interest from publishers and developers to do that”, he said. “At Konami, Kojima-san announced the concept of Transfarring. The initial product will be between PSP and PS3, but he is also talking about between PS3 and Vita.”
There’s more on console and handheld interoperability in the interview, mostly going over what’s been said before, although Yoshida did confirm that more details on PS3 games that use the additional features of the Vita as a controller will be talked about later.

Great to see, was wondering if this would happen. Confirmed a purchase for me just to try it :)

I always disliked the idea of buying the same game for the ps3 and psp. This can only be a good thing as it’s decent customer treatment like this that helps stave off piracy

fantastic idea, if they’re intent on tying the two games together so closely then this is a great way of selling them.
the whole carry on your vita game on the ps3 thing would be a lot less appealing if you had to buy both versions separately.
i mean, who wants to buy two copies of what is essentially the same game?

I like the sound of this. I wonder if these bundles will cost more than $60? Hopefully the price won’t be increased. If so, this will be another strong body blow to Nintendo.

Finally the PS3 and PSP (sorry Vita) working together in harmony.
