So, despite zero announcements prior to releasing today on the PlayStation Store, people on the PS Blog and some folks at Polygon, Gamespot, and Playstation Lifestyle have reported that Limbo on PS Vita is actually 100% free if you already own the PS3 version.

TLDR: Limbo is a grandfathered freebie on Vita if you own the PS3 version. #YOPO

Doh.

I wonder why this wasn't announced sooner. Seems like they would have sold a few more PS3 versions of Limbo leading up to today.

I love Cross buy games, and I've always meant to play this after playing demos. I'm in.

Probably so they can track how many extra copied it is selling as a direct cause of being on Vita.

Hmm. They've done virtually no promotions for this port whatsoever though, and this Cross-Buy deal is the biggest thing of note surround it so far.

I tried the demo. Looks amazing on the Vita. My fiancee has the game on her account on my PS3, so I don't feel like buying it when I essentially already have the game, but it's awesome that it's YOPO.

If it's the same for Europe, i guess i'll finally beat it. I have it on Steam and got it for free from PS+, but never really played any of these Versions. But i can't resist dat OLED.

Cross Buy? Awesome.

12,99€ (I assume) for a 3 year old game? Not so much.


Owning it on 360, will maybe buy it for my Vita on a 6€ sale in a few years.

I apparently forgot to DL it once it went free on PS+, but I had it on my machine thanks to a room mate and I sharing accounts. Looks like it's time to fork up some money for it.

I'll probably buy it now that it's YOPO. I really hope TWD S1 is YOPO as well since I already have the PS3 version.

They've not mentioned this being cross buy before this right? How odd... I think people would've been way more excited about the vita version if they knew about this. It basically means free vita version for a lot of people, which is neat.

Maybe they don't like making money?

Here's a screen taken directly from my Vita. Looks unbelievable on the OLED.

Sweet. My Vita library continues to grow. Now if they'd just drop the price on the hardware already.

Cross-Buy was announced via a press release and then on a bunch of gaming sites hours ago, so the only accident would have been months of forgetting to mention it...

Regardless, this game will bomb so hard. 15 dollars when the game has been going for as low as 2 dollars on other platforms? That is insanity.

I have this in my steam library since two years ago but I don't think I was going to install it ever. On the vita tough I could definitely see myself playing it, truly the ultimate indie machine.

Even if there was a separate trophy set I don't know if I'd play through it again on the Vita... The trophy for playing through the game in one sitting dying less than 5 times (I managed to do it dying only once) was a major pain in the ass.

It's been confirmed to have two separate trophy lists.

When was Limbo free for PS+?
I assumed I'd gotten it but I might be thinking of Closure.

Not sure I want to spend another $15 on Limbo given I've already owned it on 360 and Steam. Maybe when it gets a discount.

Cool. I kind of regretted getting it on PS3 because the Mac version was part of a Humble Bundle right after, but it's neat to have it on the Vita.
