    Playing on PS3 and PC

    If I've already got a copy of the PS3 version, do I need to pay separately to get the PC version of it? I'm a full time college student and I obviously can't bring my PS3 with me to play the game during the breaks in between classes but my laptop is more than capable of handling it. I don't want to pay another $30 just to play the game on the go.

    As I understand it, yes you'll need to register a PC product code in order to be able to access the account from either PC or PS3. I don't believe they have to be the same type of copy though so if you've already got a PS3 CE, you can get a Standard Digital Download for PC. That may be cheaper than a physical copy but you are going to need a second copy.

    You can probably get it a little cheaper via a sale or something, but you do need a PC software key to play on PC.

    They are account linked so as long as you have both copies of the game you can switch between the two. I've seen some sites have 25% off the games already but not sure if the sale is still going on. You can always wait a bit, I'm sure prices will drop or sales will go off eventually.

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll probably be waiting for a price drop on the PC version (or for it to go on steam) because I'd like to play on my laptop while at my uni (dem 5 hour gaps between classes can be killers on my gas tank lol).

    Please note that when you register both PS3 as well as PC version of the game to the same SE service account you'll receive 60 (30+30) days of included sub so effectivelly you'll purchase the PC version for less than half price ...
