Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time on Vita is a free download to those who bought the PlayStation 3 version thanks to Sony’s cross-buy promotion, but users have reported being unable to access their game. Sony is already aware of the problem and working on a solution; a thread on the PlayStation forum is the best way to get updates on an expected resolution.

Dead or Alive 5 Plus, the Vita version of Team Ninja’s latest fighter, will support Cross Play, Cross Save and Cross Buy DLC, Siliconera reports. That means portable players will be able to challenge PlayStation 3 rivals and vice versa; you can take your story progress with you when you switch systems; and any costumes you’ve purchased or otherwise obtained for your bouncing brawlers will be available in both versions. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is expected on March 19 in the US and March 22 in Europe. More details can be found through the US and EU PS Blogs.
