Took a while to install, other than the Vita integration, PS+ has it's own icon. Not really noticed much else.

Ahh, auto-download sections? awesome. I've been looking for that for a bit... as I'm fine picking my own demos, games and content to download myself... I don't need it to do it for me, but I did like the idea of auto trophy sync and game auto patching :)
