Tired of losing saves to system crashes?

| That could be a thing of the past with the online save feature rumoured to be arriving to Playstation Plus users in the future! Say it with us, finally a PS3 firmware update that actually does something useful! We've grown so accustomed to Sony refreshing the software on its console just to spite jailbreakers (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/26/sony-about-to-issue-ps3-update-with-minor-mysterious-security/) that we almost started to believe that's all the word "update" entailed. But, here comes Kotaku with word that v3.6 of the PS3's firmware will come with a neat little addition: saving games to the cloud. This seems a very logical step toward delivering Sony's overall goal of giving users a holistic, integrated experience (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/kaz-hirai-non-confirms-the-playstation-phone-and-tablet/). Indeed, during the NGP presentation (http://www.engadget.com/liveblog/live-from-sonys-tokyo-event/), guest speaker Hideo Kojima specifically referred to saving your PS3 game on the console and resuming it on the Next Generation Portable (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/the-sony-psp2/). "Online Saving," as Sony's reputed to be calling it, would be the conduit through which that can be realized, though it doesn't appear like it'll come for free. Kotaku's sources indicate it'll be part of the PlayStation Plus subscription, at least initially. Still, we like cloud storage, and if it means never having to see another hard drive again, we're all for it. http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/29/next-ps3-update-rumored-to-add-online-saving-for-playstation-p/ Sounds good to me  Unfortunately, it won't bring back your deceased game saves, but it could solve the problem in the future  | 2011-01-29 18:38:00 Author: Weretigr  Posts: 2105 |
| That makes me want PS+. Clear all my saves off my hard drive, and then I'll only have the installed game data... My 40gb can only hold so much! | 2011-01-29 18:44:00 Author: KlawwTheClown  Posts: 1106 |
| Oh wow, good job SONY. Way to stay ahead of Microsoft! (: | 2011-01-29 19:04:00 Author: jEpiik  Posts: 81 |
| I'm still not shelling out for PS+ though. I think I'll wait and see if it's coming to the rest of us too I don't see why it wouldn't... | 2011-01-29 23:10:00 Author: Weretigr Posts: 2105 |
| Finally a reason to buy PS+ that I could use and care about. If it does come to us, I'm all for it. Lost so much data over the years to phat PS3 deaths. Yet I still buy them again and again... | 2011-01-29 23:16:00 Author: KoingWolf  Posts: 386 |
