PlayStation's premium subscription service, PlayStation Plus, will become available to PlayStation Vita owners in November, Sony has announced.
The benefits of the subscription for Vita users will be similar to those for PS3 owners -- free games, discounts, cloud storage and automatic software updates as well as trophy synchronization.
Users will only need one subscription to enjoy the benefits of PlayStation Plus on both the PS3 and the Vita.
At its pre-Tokyo Game Show event Wednesday, Sony has also announced two new colors for the Vita console in Japan: "cosmic red" and "sapphire blue."
Japan's manga fans also have something to be joyful about: PS Vita is getting a manga reading app and a Reader Store with 3,000 manga titles available at launch, scheduled for mid-October.
