According to Joystiq, the PlayStation versions will support Cross-Buy, meaning one purchase will unlock both Vita and PS3 copies of the game. The PC version will be available on various distribution platforms, but will also be sold directly on VBlank's website as a DRM-free download.
The game is also coming to WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade, however those releases will happen "later in 2012."

Yeah, it is. It plays like a hit 8-bit game, but has all kinds of crazy references to oldschool gaming that crack me up. It has the scope of a GTA-like game and there are so many easter eggs in this thing... the guy making it really did go all out. Unlock 4 color CGA mode? Sure! I don't even know how many mini games there are. It's rather insane.

I think that's how this will go... people will see the 8-bit art style and go "looks cool, but is it the right price?" but then the word of mouth about sone of the insane things in the game and the actual depth will drive sales after the first few days. I can see it being a mini explosion like what happened with FTL, though obviously they are very different games.

why would buying a ps3/vita version also unlock the PC version? (other than it would be awesome, sure) Just don't point to Portal 2 because VALVe has tons-o-money and Vblank....well...most likely not as much.

Why wouldn't it?
If I'm buying Retro City Rampage, why shouldn't I be able to play it on each platform on which it exists? I know it's not the status quo, and I know that each platform costs money (and that some have licensing fees that change the equation, etc).
But in the same way that buying a movie should let me watch that movie wherever, or buying a book on Kindle should let me read it on any device (as it mostly does), why lock people into a specific platform?
