It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had some news come out about Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time! Hopefully, you’ve already seen the sweet trailer we released at gamescom and are itching to learn even more about Sly, the gang and their upcoming adventure. Well, today we’re happy to announce that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will be releasing in March both at retail AND on the PlayStation Network (that’s right, day and date!).
In case you didn’t catch it, if you buy the PS3 version of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (through traditional retailers or via PlayStation Network), you will be able to download the PS Vita version of Thieves in Time from the PSN at no additional cost! Now that’s a … wait for it … A STEAL!
Yeah? No? No. Ok…
We also wanted to let everyone know that we’ll be offering up some exciting extras for those of you who have (or are going to) pre-order the game. When you pre-order with selected retailers (in selected locales), you’ll be able to unlock the following skins in both the PS3 and Vita versions of the game:
Para Glider Skins
Unlock new looks for Sly’s para glider and show it off in style with the Sanzaru monkey logo and camouflage.
Ultimate Murray
Unlock a new look for everyone’s favorite pink hippo. Play as Murray in a new undercover Ultimate outfit.
That’s it for now. We’re working on some awesome stuff we’ll be showing you in the near future.
Keep an eye out here for more!

Looking forward to this
Would have been great if this was within a collection that includes the other 3 titles with a comic, figurine etc.

Awesome!
It’s hitting Vita on the same day too, right?

Do you get the PS3 version for free if you buy the Vita version? This post and the box art leads to ‘no’ but might as well ask anyway.

Great stuff, more games need to start doing this, looking at you MGS HD

Also some other things.
The cover looks great and cool and finally the Vita is getting more and more great games. The Vita is great already but now the Vita’s got LBP Vita, Uncharted and Resistance and PS All Stars,Assassin’s Creed,Ratchet & Clank Q Force,Black Ops, and Sly Thieves in time’s coming to it. This shows how great the PS Vita is and shows it can pull off PS3 Games. Can’t wait to play
….Now we just need The Sly Trilogy,The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy and The Jak & Daxter trilogy to be ported over to Vita and then it would be great.

I think having the Sly HD collection free for plus members would help to boost sales, i know Sly 1 was already free but i need to get platinum on 3rd and i sold my disc.

I’m sure I will buy the PS3 cross buy version and hope and pray SCEE has the digital PSVita version up and running, but I expect them to screw up as usual.

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:22 pm by tony27
Any new on the demo?
13
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:24 pm by Bjarno86
@Laraman
I’m fairly sure you have to buy the PS3 version to get cross-buy, because the price (RRP) of the Vita version is cheaper than the PS3 version.
14
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:26 pm by OttoT
@ Laraman NO, you need to buy the PS3 version (I ofcourse buy the retail one because of the scew up they did for LBPVita and all the other stuff that is wrong) and you get a free CODE for the Vita.
The Vita version doesn’t have the PS3 version in there (yes that is confusing and customer unfrienfly).

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:26 pm by Voodoo341
Sly Cooper out in March… unless you live in Europe… expect it some time in 2013 if you’re lucky.

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:29 pm by Bjarno86
Noo, just realised that US gets the game Feb 5th and we have to wait until March

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:42 pm by AaronSOLDIER
If Sony does the usual pre order on the PS Store thing then why don’t we get the goods also?

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 4:49 pm by supersmith2500
Wait, the yanks get it Feb 5th while us next month. That’s it, I seriously had enough with SCEE!

Looking forward to this, was hoping for a end of 2012 release.
Thinking of Q1 2013, is any game actually not releasing in this period?
Q1 next year seems to be the most competitive period ever for games.
Pretty bad situation as several titles simply must flop with so many games releasing all at the same time.
Simply a matter of not enough time and money for many potential buyers… I wonder why publishers do this?

Demo PLEASE
Really enjoyed ‘The SLY Trilogy HD’ collection so hopefully this is as good as the PS2 games(it looks & sounds good so far)
22
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 5:44 pm by Gamesgbkiller
so even if i buy it on PSN still going to get the free VITA version
SWEETS

cool so murray and bentley have costumes too! awesome
so now that sanzaru have 5 months to tweak the game, i hope we get an online sly themed capture the flag

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 6:20 pm by Alan2112
What’s to stop people from buying the PS3 retail version and selling on the Vita code? I’m think Vita code must be tied into stuff you need for the PS3 version, as in 1 code unlocks a few different things.
25
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 7:31 pm by Chaosprower
If I buy the retail PS3 version, can I redeem the Vita version without having to use the PS3? Because my PS3 had the YLOD recently, it now works well but I want to be safe.
26
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 7:40 pm by ryannumber3gamer
@Chaosprower Yes if you get the PS3 Retail version you get a code for the PS Vita version. It’s called Cross-Buy it’s a thing Sony announced at Gamescom i think it was. The 3 games announced so far to support Cross-Buy are Sly 4, PS All-Stars, & Ratchet & Clank Qforce
.
27
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 7:42 pm by ryannumber3gamer
@Chaosprower Also i think if you buy the PSN Version you get the Vita version free too. But it has to be the PS3 Version to get the free PS Vita version. Hoped i helped

Any special edition planned?

Awesome stuff! But why is that “Cross Buy”-logo so huge? It ruins the cover! :’(

@ 18 supersmith2500
Remember that we got the Ratchet and Clank trilogy months before the US!

Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 10:34 pm by CoolRichy008UK
they better make a preorder for ps3 store so we can BUY IT and not wait a few days till it comes out to buy it (kicks sony up the BUTT)
PREORDER MEANS buying it then when it comes out you download it jeeze sony you need to fix that so people can buy a preorder game insted of waiting for it
32
Posted on 21 September, 2012 at 10:36 pm by CoolRichy008UK
@5 YOU BUY THE PS3 STORE VERSION YOU GET VITA VERSION 3
anyway the ps vita version will be a cut version ha
33
Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 12:14 am by ryannumber3gamer
@CoolRicky
No this will be the full PS3 Game that’s why there is cross save on it and cross buy because the games are the same.
34
Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 12:34 am by VitalogyPJ
@#32 Do you really feel the need to troll at every single blog post?
If only you had intelligent shouts, I mean, if you said anything with foundation… but you don’t even think of what you type and obviously you don’t do your homework to get your facts straight. *sigh*

Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 1:53 am by werasfop
That’s great but that ‘cross-buy’ sticker hides the awesome cover.
Also will you patch the misspelled trophies of Sly 3?

Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 2:17 am by Fox_423
I’m so excited for this game as Sly fan. It’s going to be day one purchase

Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 5:27 am by Sm8ckhead
Please tell me your not asking people to pre-order off the psn store for this.You might as well just kick them in the b@ll@x and have done with it.Talk about kicking someone while their down,at least with a retailer the worst case scenario is it would be a couple of days late in the post.

Regarding LittleBigPlanet VITA-
URGENT HELP NEEDED…
Installed the Game,Network pass and the Costume packs.
But,I Don’t even have the COMMUNITY and MY MOON Planets on ‘My POD’. Only the ‘STORY Planet’ is available for me. I definitely installed the Online Pass properly.
In the SETTINGS menu ONLINE tab is not highlighted and not selectable.
Is there a Set number of STORY Levels I need to Clear to unlock Community on my POD…???
LBPV without Online would be totally rubbish.
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS. Does anybody have similar issues??

@38
Your MOON and COMMUNITY will be unlocked after you finish tutorial world “La Marionetta.”

There is no way people who only have a Vita could sell off their PS3 copy and play their Vita game if there is no online involvment that needs an activation code. You ofcourse can still sell it but it’s not as new.
As a huge Sly fan I play them on both consoles because I want to use the Vita with the PS3 game as a search device or other cool stuff they prommissed us. This is going to be so awesome!
41
Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 11:44 am by VitalogyPJ
I’m with you Otto but try not to get your expectation too high because we’re talking about sony here.
“other cool stuff they prommissed us”
Well, as I mentioned before, it’s sony in play which means what they promissed 5 secs ago it’s not gonna happen from now. It happened with the PS3 and it’s happening with the PS Vita unfortunately.
Still I have few hopes that they might make some things happen… who knows maybe they lose their heads and deliver all XD
2013 is far too long to pay thing game man.

Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 2:56 pm by nitroguy7
Will Sly 4 also come in psn?I mean full game
43
Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 9:53 pm by geektopia
For the Sony execs who are agonising over whether this cross-purchasing arrangement is working, let me tell you… it is. I wasn’t going to buy this game but if I can get a copy for my Vita gratis, I’m in! Well done on getting this right. Hopefully this approach becomes standard fare.

45
Posted on 22 September, 2012 at 10:40 pm by CoolRichy008UK

You are wrong, CoolRicky. Go to the US site and check out the reply on the same article. Look at the reply at nr 50, it states:
You don’t miss anything! The game content is identical for the PS3 and Vita versions.
And that make sence because you can start playing on the PS3, save and continue on the Vita and visa versa. If content was missing you couldn’t. The data size could be smaller because of texture size but the content is the same.

For the children complaining that the US is getting it a month earlier, they had to wait over 2 months for Ratchet HD. So relax little ones.
@Coolrichy holy crap, this guy is HILARIOUS. Frame his posts please and put them in a museum.
Here is what is wrong with your posts Richy:
Spells troll wrong
Claims a 32gb memory card can’t store a 3gb game
Claims to be ignoring somebody when posting a comment directly at said person.
Thinks badly ported 3DS version of Lego Batman 2, that was lazily brought to Vita by Warner, is same thing as a Sony published game (I know this isn’t the case, I have played the finished version of NFS Most Wanted on Vita and it looks as incredible as the PS3 version AND that’s a 3rd party game.)
So you think that the Sly version on Vita will be a port of the 3DS version that doesn’t exist because your friend told you.:..FACEPALM.

@andrewsqual:
Wait a minute, Ratchet & Clank trilogy came out in Europe May 27th and UK 29th and then 3 months later. Ohhhh wait a minute, they included the Sly Cooper demo as a bonus as an apology to US gamers. Well hate to say, Metal Gear Solid HD collection came out in US last November then finally Europe February so let’s see.
R&C TRILOGY:
EU, May 2012 —> 3 months later —> US, late August 2012 and they got a special bonus which is a Sly Cooper Demo.
METAL GEAR SOLID HD:
US, Nov 2011 —> 3 months later —> EU, mid Feb 2012 and Europe got nothing for bonuses.
