Playstation Plus ON PS VITA

Hi Guys,
I am thinking of Buying PS + 1 year sub for my ps vita.
I want to ask is it worth it?Since I dont have PS3 , only VITA and PSP.
The prices in my area of VITA games are strangely high and over $50.
So anyone who has PS vita and PS+ sub ,please tell your experience so that i can take my decision.
Thanks

PS Vita is worth it on PS3 if you're an avid gamer. Lots of free games and deals. That said, there aren't an abundance of games for Vita anyways (one reason I sold mine), and they usually discount PSN games (not all work on Vita as well). You might spend a few bucks on the 3 month trial or so and see how it is.

I've got PS+ both for PS3 & PSVita & IMO it is easily worth it if you utilize them a fair amount, but since you only have a Vita I would recommend the 90 day subscription instead of the yearly one just to see what you think of it also it's being discounted around February 7th, hope that helps

For PS3 they had Bioshock 2 for free but that was last month & now Sleeping Dogs is free, this is for European PSN store though, also there was a Final Fantasy sale 50% off all FF games. I got Uncharted Golden Abyss for free same with Gravity Rush which are both great games & There is a PSVita Bday Sale on, just some discounted games you might be interested in

Playstation Plus is definitely worth it even if you only have one system. They seem to give games out free constantly. Better if you have em all like I do!

I seriously want a reason to buy a PS Vita, but the price is just not worth it considering Developers refuse to develop games for it. The system didn't sell as well as they hoped, so they don't want to make games for it, and nobody wants to buy them now, because there are no good games coming out. It's like a cycle of shitty speculation...

I think on 20th feb many great games would be announced for the system.
BTW the system is great , its still in its initial phase , i think this year would be great for VITA

I thankfully got rid of mine on eBay for a decent price (IMO). It was a cool device, and I really wanted to play Uncharted, but the only other game I played was Resistance (Mortal Kombat was cool, but it is what it is...the same elsewhere), and that sucked. I had the PSP and it was pretty good, but handhelds just don't do anything for me. After seeing the Unreal Engine demo on Android, Vita-esque graphics (at higher resolutions) are more than possible on the latest smartphones, and as much as I HATE touch controls...I see no reason for myself to get a handheld.

That's exactly why I want a Vita. I cannot stand Touch Controls. I hate them with every fiber of my being. The Vita is basically a top of the line Smartphone with Analog Sticks and Buttons, so it can play a lot of the games that you see running in the Unreal Engine on Android phones, it just needs people to actually develop them.

Which is why I wanted an Xperia Play - and there are Sixaxis controller applications and different controllers for Android - they are just clunky to carry around (but then again, as much as I'd love to have a Note 2 for instance, the Vita is huge and not something you'd carry around IMO). With Android to me the problem is 1. The fragmentation in devices, 2. The developers making shitty F2P games or supported with ads, 3. The games being dumbed down. With the Vita, it is as you say, development. I really wanted the Vita to succeed, being a Sony fanboy, I just couldn't hold on to it honestly.
