The PS Vita will be getting an update to version 2.00 of the system software very soon, Sony have said to TheSixthAxis today. And with it, PlayStation Plus – the service that’s already seen an impressive array of discounts, additional features and free games on the PlayStation 3.
Plus for Vita goes live on the 21st of November in the UK, and will be available to existing PS3 subscribers at no additional cost. It’ll come with its own Instant Game Collection, which will include the likes of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush and Chronovolt, the latter of which is a brand new title which is great news for Vita owners.
Four games per month will be featured, Sony tell us, along with free play, exclusive discounts and online storage. Sony are promising 14 games and at least five new games a month, which means over 65 games a year for PS3 and PS Vita.
We’re also assuming that Trophy updates will be automatic, like they are with the PS3, but we’ll need to check and confirm that.

I expected one or two games a month at best but four – on top of the regular PS3 content – is amazing!

Especially at no extra cost, great news Sony.

Great games there and I can finally delete my games without worrying about the saves.
But most importantly my 32GB card is going to come in handy hugely.

Good news for you lucky Vita owners. No reason why you cannot add these to your download list on the ps3 store as the store is accessible. May even add them to mine.

Nice to see that 2.00 will improve the browser and will include a email app.

Brilliant news i have not got around to buying Gravity Rush yet but the demo was quite good now just need a bigger memory card i knew the 4gb would bite me in the ass someday. Makes a change to be able to download something i have not got yet because all the games on the PS3 PS+ i have already got.

I don’t get time to play my PS3 plus see games but having more free games on my Vita is great news!
And helpfully Ive neither Uncharted or Gravity Rush but have been thinking about buying them.
Win for a day one Vita owner here.

Can’t say this is ground breaking, I played uncharted up to 100% on trophies although I did miss it when I sold it, but isn’t it like 3 gigs for full game. Gravity Rush is awesome as I never played it, for 11.99 for three months fair do’s, its a good deal (how can I fit two game boxes on to 4gb o.0)

This is way better than I’d imagined.
Please do play Mutant Blob, that game is quite neat :)
