PlayStation Plus for PS Vita: Launch details confirmed

@hayzink, Thanks for the explanation

any word on how frequently the vita content will refresh?

Great work, cheers. Now, bring Wipeout to the Eu Store, too!

Retro City Rampage
Where is it?
It was promised word a week ago and nothing still, keep (CENSORED) work guys

@Chris, @Fred: There is an issue with Motorstorm RC. I bought it in the race-sale, and am able to download it on my Vita. However, it says there isn update, but when I try to download the update, it says ‘cannot download’.
Other problem is on the PS3 store: Whether I choose ‘full game’ or ‘Demo PS3′, I always download the 100kb unlock key.
Quite annoying.

Can you please send this trough to the Store guys?

@thavleifrim: In one of the comments Chris said 2 games a month. Uncharted and Gravity Rush are here to stay for a while, the others rotate.

Maybe jet set radio is free too and Final fantasy tactics for psp.

Got rid of my vita ages ago uncharted really is the only game I like on it I put the money I got from it towards a wii U.

I already have the games and bought most of the discounted titles mentioned. not a good launch for me, looking forward to the next patch.

Holy crap! My expectations were pessimistic about this and now I’m flabbergasted!
I expected two PS Plus subscriptions, there’s one. I didn’t expect Uncharted: GA, there it is. I expected at least one catch – there’s none.
I’m oficially starting to spare money for Vita (PSP will have to wait, I guess).
Xbox Live Gold subscription is so dead in comparison to infinitely positive PS Plus

Awesome SONY and PS+ this is how you sell consoles!!!
Ordered PSV and 16gb directly after reading this.

This is amazing!

DAMN! I’m gonna need a bigger memory card now, 16gb just ain’t big enough.

@chris was it wise to go we like to surprise route, yes indeed we get the 3 other titles later this month but it not working is chris you still having answer my or other saying how can this be better tailor needs for EU.

i have just read the SCEA commets their quite happy over there, the put out all the games in 1 basket telling them what they getting they know where their stands you dont see them splitting the community.

so chris you actually DID split the community we fighting among ourselves like i said many times on different blog threads for not given out the full list it leads to speculation, mistrust, anger, & contempt from us.

I dont have q vita yet but can I register vita downloads on my account and put them on vita at later date?

Got two of the games but can’t complain, I guess.

I’d advise everyone to download Mutant Blobs, its a great game.

The only downside to this is that Vita memory cards are obscenely overpriced. I have a 32gb card pretty much full already and I’m certainly not buying another at those prices. I’ll just delete something I’m not currently playing till later.

Chris Howe
u already now when europe gets demo ore game ragnorack odysee ?

i want to buy uncharted when 35€ but now free renting = tanks .

And when will psn+ come to Sweden??? AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ this is the contrys that get psn+ now right?!

sadlam79 totaly agree on mem cards + same problem
€ 89,95 = more then 3 games in store

Oh you guys :’)

With the amount of Vita games I own, I thought it would be forever until you’d offer a free game I don’t have, but here you are with 4 I haven’t played, 3 of which I’ve wanted for a long time.

You guys are awesome!

Is there any news of a 64gb memory card coming soon? I have a 32gb and I ran out of space a few months ago lol

Good job Sony, you might have just killed the sales of PSVita software. Only reason to still buy retail is the lack of space on the PSVita memory card. Even 16 GB is way too small.

@Vorlon

not really as if chris sticks to what he said and sale titles wont be plus titles then i for 1 will buy a game if i really want it and its on sale.

also if the 40 launch titles are whats mainly going to be used in the rotation at the start then at 2 new games per month thats 20 months of content right there and all the while new games will be coming out for vita and i for one wont wait a year or so for a big retail game i really want.

@chris

i know its a bit early for requests but any chance you could take on board the following suggestions for future plus games.

marvel vs capcom
army corps of hell
luminies

thank you

Those complaining a 16GB memcard is too small…

I don’t know how many games at the same time you play but on average I don’t play more than 5 to 6 different games in lets say a month.

Uncharted is a big game, close to 4GB, but many other games are a lot smaller. With EASE one can store 5 to 6 and even a lot more games on a 16GB memorystick.

It is not a lot of trouble to dl the games on the PS3 and transfer some once a month or once every few months, or even dl them directly on PSVita.

Sure, a 32GB or 64GB card for a reasonable price would rock, but the 16GB card is more than enough for me, even if all games would be 4GB.

To all the peeps crying that they’ve got the games already

sell them and buy a memory card

wish we got music unlimited with plus

Yeah that’s telling them. Sell em and then when your PS+ runs out or Fony decide to stop the service you end up with nothing!

ye what people been saying SHUT UP Voodoo341

PS PLUS WILL NOT STOP BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL GET MAD AT SONY and i dont care if ps4 is out sony will keep the ps3 servers online and keep running ps plus end off

i bet Chris Howe a leg wax that GTAV will be preorder on the ps store soon cuz im gonna get both on blueray and ps store

Would be nice to have plants zombies free on vita plus as a top selling game on ps3, nice to give us that, also great launch

This is brilliant news. Tempted to trade in my Uncharted: GA towards Black Ops Declassified!

Thanks Sony for keeping us all so very treated and happy customers.

Great value for money plus ive had it since it started and it just keeps getting better and better

Very happy I splashed out on a 32GB card now.

Plus is an EXCELLENT service which saves the average PSN user a ton of cash, and I will continue using it, as long as the content is of this standard.
Both Gravity Rush and Uncharted are very high-end games retailing between 35 – 45 euro, and now they’re scott free, along with the PS3 content with PLUS.

You’ve finally redeemed yourself, Sony.

you know that when their time runs out, when they ‘rotate’ that you can’t play them anymore unless you buy them.. the games aren’t free downloads to keep, they are free to use for a time period. two months or three months max.
i am happy with this service but i am not deluded. we’ll have three months with ‘gravity crash’ and ‘uncharted’ and that is plenty of time to play through them. a shorter, ‘preview’ of the other two games.. it’s an extra.. a ‘plus’ to your account.. for a reasonable price. i like that there are discounts available for purchases and am especially looking forward to the one-week sale at launch.
there is another thing worth noting.. that psp titles offered for ps+ will also be able to be used on your actual psp by logging on to the store from it. that’s a little bonus not getting mentioned

@330

Wrong.

You have them until your subscription expires, then you’re just locked out of them. When you re-subscribe, you can play them again. They’re only available on the PSN store for a limited time, but once they are in your download list, they’re yours for keepsies.

to those moaning that US gets more games this was explained in May. They start with more but EU rotates more often and would end up with more games. Also the US launch games are likely to end up here soon.

For anyone that does not already have a ps vita, I totaly reccomend it its AWESOME!! i definatly reccommend that you go out and buy one if you do not already own one!!!

when will the updates for the ps vita be available please?

I’m so excited for this! I already have Uncharted, but the other three games look sweet! Another great reason to be a PlayStation user!

wondering if be a price for just a vita PS+ subscription i only own a vita not a ps3

@254 If that was directed at me, I’m not fighting for anyone. Yes there’s more content now, some on a different platform, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re still paying for it. Effectively it means each game we’re given access to on plus works out to be even cheaper, but again, YOU’RE STILL PAYING FOR IT. I don’t see why some people find it so difficult to get that in their heads.

I’m by no-means bagging PS+, it’s improved a lot since I started using it and is a great deal now (unlike the console of the Dark Side charging people to use their OWN internet connection), but I will always point out that none of this content is free, you paid for it, even if the sub price remains the same.

@336 Getting it now with GA is a good time seeing as the physical game is still priced around £35-35 and Plus is a year for £40, but if you wait until they have a deal on you can get it for about £30-32. Also, years stack so you could purchase two discounted years if you wanted and had that amount of disposable income.

great line up, nice to see the plus service finally coming to vita well worth £40 a year.

Good job, buying a Vita. I seriously hope those memory cards will get cheaper…

Good job, buying a Vita… I seriously hope those memory cards will get cheaper soon.

Nice to see PS+ for vita finnaly ariving, allways good news!
Unfortunately i wont be downloading the freebies as most people wont as i think almost everyone with a vita allready owns uncharted.. Bit of a let down on that front!

Mite have to stop buying retail games or even psn versions with the hope that they will be released on + for either a discounted rate or for free.

How do I subscribe to Playstation plus on the vita? Can’t find it in the store, and I don’t have a ps3

Most likely they put Uncharted in PS+ to sell a PSVita to the futured new owners of a PSVita these holidays. There are many PS3 owners with PS+ that will get a PSVita just with this announcement.

Gravity Rush is pointed more towards current owners too, as it is a good game but didn’t get a lot of sales. Furthermore, the other games are there too and remember, December already will give two new PSVita games.

I own Uncharted, but I can totally see why Sony put it in the instant game collection before Black Friday. Now they need to bundle a 3 month or better a year PS+ with every PSVita sold and market the (CENSORED) out of it!!! The more PSVitas sold the better for us all, which makes a higher installed base/numbers of units out there, thus more interesting for 3rd party gamedevs thus more games for us all. Win win!

I have read somewhere that Sweden PSN store doesn’t have PS+ yet.

My best bet is that you make a PS+ account in another country (my country THe Netherlands has PS+ for example) and get PS+ through that store, or wait till Sony brings PS+ to Sweden, but that might be a long wait.

Check if I am right though, but I read it somewhere and would make sense why you can’t find it!

Oh be aware though: you can only have one PSN account on your PSVita at this moment in time! While on PS3 you can have more, Sony should update the firmware to allow more accounts in multiple stores IMO.

@TheMART:
Already aware of it, Only one playing it anyways.

about time ive had my vita since they where launched
