Monday, November 19th, Vita Firmware 2.00 will go live and show PlayStation Plus functionality – along with allowing Vitas to check Gmail and Yahoo email, wirelessly communicate with PCs, tweak PSone game settings, and use the web browser more effectively. Then, when the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday, November 20th, the first round of free-to-PlayStation Plus subscriber Vita games will be available.No too shabby, eh? Especially considering Jet Set Radio is a Vita debut – only the PS3 version is available for download now. Tuesday will also see you get 1GB of Vita cloud storage in addition to the 1GB of PS3 cloud storage PlayStation Plus subscribers get. Sony says that from now on, 12 PS3 games and 6 Vita games will be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to download at any time. Just like before, if you download the game, it’s saved to your download list and ready to be used even if it’s free period expires in the future.All of these details are specific to North America. Folks in Europe get a slightly less enticing (but still rather good) deal with just Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Chronovolt and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack thrown in, with full details of EU's offer found on the PlayStation Blog here . A similar deal for AU is expected to be announced soon.PlayStation Plus cost $49.99 for a year or $17.99 for three months. Do you think the service is worth it? Let us know in the comments below.
