Well, looks like I'm subscribing now. Lost tons of saves when my first PS3 died. Don't want to go through that again.
Yeah, even if most of game saves range between 5-10MBs you'll only be able to back-up 30 to 15 games only. On one hand that's a pretty low number, on the other the PS3 doesn't have that many games that are worth playing.
You can still only have your psn account on 5 ps3s at a time right? little utility here, especially with a strict limit and no way to save direct
Wouldn't we have heard rumors by now, though? The Xbox team isn't exactly tight lipped.Kinda weird that MS, with all their emphasis on Live anywhere and the how they talk about the cloud at the other MS divisions, that the gaming and electronic devices division seems so far behind.
For all we know Cloud saves couldd be coming later this year along with bigger friends lists.
What was the last meaningful* dashboard update? It's been a while since they rolled out something worthwhile, so they better have something good* in store.UI update.
*Kinect crap notwithstanding.
Cloud saving would be awesome. When my last XBox hard drive crapped out I lost all my saves :'(That would suck. Even before USB support, I was backing up save data files to the 512MB Memory Unit. Of course, a couple times I managed to screw things up by copying the wrong direction. Old copy went over the new, because the Xbox didn't properly identify which one was older and warn me about it.
To be fair, XBL has limited cloud saving with certain XBLA titles, such as Castle Crashers, but nothing as wide spread as Sony's initiative. Cloud save backup would be the more accurate term, as you can't save to the cloud on the fly.Original Lips saved all the players' accumulated Badge and Star progress on the servers. It didn't save how many Challenges you'd completed, though. It was nice, but for some reason they didn't carry the feature or the accumulated game progress, forward into its pseudo-sequels like Number One Hits.

Exactly, wasn't that back in 2009?

Nah, it was a Kinect thing (released in conjunction with Kinect launch), like the old one except it had this wannabe apple flair except with sharp edges and no shading. Eye searing.

What's up with the 150mb limit too?
so, is playstation plus worth it? I got an email saying that 12+3 month deal was ending on the 29th. I'm more interested in beta, demos, discounts and "free" game access. Is it worth it for that stuff?
Is stacking still "free"?
...I've started holding off buying all PSN games/DLC in hopes it will at least be discounted or at best be free to psn+ members...
