I find this baffling as well. People seem to think they are entitled to the Vita version at a lower price because the home console version is cheaper. They seem to forget the home console version has been out for a while and has dropped in price. The Vita version is a newer release for a much newer console.

Rayman. Is this the same game on PS3 and Vita? It's almost double price for the Vita.

I'm not sure why people seem to think they are entitled to full retail games being free on one format when bought for the other. It's totally baffling. It's understandable with PSN games and as mentioned its already been done with several of them all of which are great games. Sony did discount the MLB games by $20 when the PS3 and Vita versions were bought together and that may happen with the Sly games and others but that's the most we should really expect.
I remember this when Vita first came out and people thought they were entitled to free downloads of PSP games they already owned on UMD.. Then attack 'Sony' of all companies, because it wasn't the case...
I don't recall being able to get free e-books because I own the hard copies, blurays because I own the DVDs, or even CDs because I own the tapes...
I expect that other budget games like Motorstorm RC will be one fee for both formats, and we will see more deals like the free Wipeout HD DLC if you own the PS3 version... but it's not really that fair to the developers the expectation that MGS Collection should be a free download if you own the PS3 downloaded version..

as with blueray disks now you get a dvd and a digital version with it plus the actual bluray so maybe games should be the same way

You do, but you pay extra for the packs that contain a combination of 3D disc, DVD, Digital Download... The price is never as cheap as the standalone bluray disc... so even if games do come this way, you'll still be paying extra..

i dont expect sony to do the bogof offer for the AAA titles like assassins creed and call of duty, but i think they should do it for games like snapshot and the new pinball game
