Already subscribed to Japan's PS+, the free content on PS3 is pretty underwhelming but Vita has an amazing free games library already.

I'm thinking of getting a second Vita to take full advantage of a US PS+ subscription as well. Or would EU be better?

It depends on who you are and what you think is worth it. I believe there is no right or wrong answer here. To some people it is worth it and to others it isn't, that is really all I can say about it.

The worth here can still be looked at very objectively. Just look at the games above. If that's not a great deal for less than the price of one game then I don't know what is...
Plus actually cost about half that as a game costs here for me. In the past I bought a game for a high price, played it for around 10-15 hours and then never played it again (unless it was really special). Now I can pay even less than that and get dozens and dozens of games and dozens and dozens of playtime. And honestly, if you don't get your money's worth then you either don't enjoy games or you buy too many games already.

Well as I said for some people it is worth and to others it isn't. To me it isn't worth it because the games I care about I already own seeing as I buy most of my games on launch. The other games I don't really care for so it would be me just throwing $50 away for games I don't care for. See what I'm saying? People's opinions will vary depending on who you talk to. Obviously you get a lot for what you are paying for but that doesn't mean everybody will want the games offered.

I see no Valkyria Chronicles. Not worth it.

I'll be getting Sleeping Dogs on Tuesday and maybe platinum it this time (got it at launch but resold after giving up on gold challenges). I'll be glad to have in my permanent collection (yes it will be permanent because I'm staying subscribed with these great deals).

How will this work on the PS4?

Early in the gen they won't have games to offer I would think.

It will work. PS4 PSN+ will give exclusive swimsuit pics of Kaz Hirai.

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I don't play the majority of the 'free' games they provide since I already own most, but I do purchase a lot of discounted content. Also, as a Vita owner with a 4GB memory card and plenty of games (physical and digital) the cloud storage is VERY useful.

Considering getting this since I'm a new PS3 user. Since I'll be switching to PS4, hopefully this thing will carry on as well to the new console.

I would guess it will because it transferred to Vita. I'm hoping for + to cover all the extra Gaikai features at the same cost since I'm subscribed till late 2014. Even if not it's worth it on PS3 alone. I've kept a ton of games that I enjoy (probably $200 worth) and it's introduced me to games I wouldn't have tried otherwise that I really enjoyed (the Cave, Darksiders, Counter Strike was discounted, and Quantum Conundrum just to name a few) and I've only had it since August. Gonna pick up Sleeping Dogs on it and platinum that which will give me a good 30 hours of entertainment after this Tuesday.
