Sony to compensate PlayStation Vita owners after bad ad

Summary:

Sony will compensate buyers PS Vita to be fooled by a fake ad. The ad showed qualities of the console that does not exist.

The complaint has come from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), saying:

  • The cross platform feature was not available for all games, as implied
  • When cross platform was offered it was more limited than shown. 
  • The ad failed to make clear that to make use of cross platform, the user needed to buy two versions of the same game
  • You can not use both devices together in multiplayer games
  • You can not transmitting PlayStation 3 games, showing even, items of Killzone 3, game that never was compatible with Vita.
  • Misleading messages by the agency in their work on social networks like Twitter.

Users must choose between a cash consideration of $ 25 or $ 50 downloadable material, provided they live in the US and have bought a Vita before 1 June 2012.
