UPDATE: EA UK has told VideoGamer.com that there is "no delay" to the Vita version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and reconfirmed that the game will launch on November 2 alongside other formats.

ORIGINAL STORY: The PlayStation Vita version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted has been delayed until spring 2013, EA's Polish website has suggested.

The Vita version had been due to ship alongside the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions on November 2. Those versions are still on track, the site states.

An explanation for the delay has not been given.

According to developer Criterion, the PlayStation Vita version of Most Wanted is "exactly the same game" as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, featuring the "same big open-world... same cars... same Autolog features and the same competition".

VideoGamer.com has contacted EA UK for comment.

Well i'm glad to hear the update i was hoping to pick this up on day one and take advantage of cross buy.
Does anyone know how this cross buy thing will work. Is it only available with digital copies or will i be able to walk into game and get NFS:MW for ps3 and be given the vita version for free cause that just seems unlikely.

The lack of any in-game footage and the minimal number of pics released was concerning me.

I'm wondering if this also puts pay to the idea of having cross-buy between the PS3 and Vita versions.
