PlayStation Plus hitting PS Vita in November

Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus service will be available on the PS Vita from November.

Members who are paying for PS Plus access for the PS3 will receive the service on the handheld at no extra cost.

The service will allow Vita owners unlimited access to a revolving selection of games, as well as discounts on games and DLC.

Members will get 1GB of online cloud storage for game saves and Vita's will automatically download system software updates.

There will also be an automatic trophy sync, updating the PlayStation Network with trophies that players have achieved.

PlayStation Plus is priced at £39.99 GBP for a year's membership.
