To hide the cross-hair during normal gameplay? I don't think there is an option.
To hide it for taking screenshots, etc.>>>
Just go to Video option and scroll down to screenshot mode. That'll remove all screen interface UI until you exit the mode. (Note, you wont be able to play in that mode as the first time you hit B - or whatever is the PS equivalent - it'll boot you out of the mode)
