FW 3.60 = Online Game Save Storage CONFIRMED!

It is offical and for PS Plus members:

LINKage of Joy

All I can say is YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I back up my saved data weekly so I guess it's nice to have a backup for my backup :)

I can already back up my save files just fine, and on devices that don't require me to be connected to the internet. Yay for updates with no real benefit!

Add a few more features then I will purchase PS+ but for those who have already got it this is great news. Well I would get Plus now but there are far too many games I have to purchase this year so I really couldn't care less about this.

I can't wait, there are two PS3s in my house so now I can play on one, save it to the server and then continue playing on the other one without messing around. xDMushroomWig

Is 150mb adequate?

I read that some people have about 50 to 70 games = about 300 MB of saves… Too bad for them but they already complained.

Yeah the only games I've seen with more than this, are Fallout 3 and New Vegas. My save files when I had most of the sidequests completed were like 13-15MB lol.

Yes, this is a great feature. I have a ton of locked save files that I can't backup on a flash drive. Hopefully cloud storage will be able to fix that for me.

This is awesome, not only does it become much easier to transfer data if my system broke, there will be no more irritating locks on games. Though I do wonder if people would exploit this for trophies and how Sony would stop that.

Pay to back up your locked saves... Brilliant! And you wonder why people want to hack their PS3istuffedsunny

Ahh..that would come in handy, thanks for pointing that out. I was trying to think what I could possibly use this feature for, and thats it. Don't really care about making backups of my saves.

This is BS. This feature should be given to all members. I have a few of those damned copy-prohibited save data files that I would really like to back up, but because I have no intention of subscribing to plus, I'm **** out of luck? I really don't wish to sound as if I'm entitled to this or anything, but given the risk of potential hardware failure, I would assume that offering this feature, which I think is practically a necessity, to the entire community instead would have been the more "appropriate" action. If storage costs are too high or something, then give every one less space (or just give the regular users less space and keep the 150MB storage capacity for the plus users). Hell, I know most would be satisfied if they just had enough space to backup their pesky copy-prohibited files. This is definitely not a feature I expected to be exclusive to premium members.

Not sure if this is a true "cloud offering", but if it is on something like an emc atmos, I could see why only plus users would get to use it. Those things are super expensive to set up. I think this is a great feature. I wouldn't expect to get this for free.

These bastards , just sold another plus plan. :lol:

I'm nearly full, and I haven't even put all my saves on there. Sony needs to do something about this.

Great idea but the 24hr time limit sucksVelocity

[QUOTE="Velocity"]Great idea but the 24hr time limit sucksThePhenomenaIHP

150mb? Is that the total limit or the limit per day? 150mb will barely cover my Dragon Age Origins saves alone.

Cloud saving? Yeah! for PSN+ members?! NOOO!

Well, you only have to backup the last save from each of your playthroughs. So, unless you have 20 playthroughs or something the space they give you should be more than enough.

Everyone's clamoring over this, yet I'm indifferent about it.
