Good News for Playstation Plus-ers

So I don't have a Playstation Plus account and my life sucks right now, but if you do, your life is set.


Playstation is implementing back up game saves on your PS3 for Playstation Plus members.  The cloud save game storage will be available for your console on  March 10th alongside Playstation's 3.60 update that they will be releasing...maybe that's why I can't get on my games for 11 hours today :D


With the download of the update, the cloud game save will be automatically enabled for you.  You will be able to store up to 150 mb of data and  1000 files.  Sony says that copy-prohibited save data will work with the cloud and that you can recover your data once every 24 hour period.


Here's a step by step tutorial on how you will be able to create your game saves:

To back-up:
1. Select [Game] > [Save Data Utility].
2. Focus on the save data you wish to back up.
3. Open up the option menu using “triangle” and select [Copy].
4. Select [Online Storage] as the destination of back up.

To copy:
1. Select [Game] > [Save Data Utility] > [Online Storage].
2. Focus on the save data you wish to copy.
3. Open up an option menu using “triangle” and select [Copy].

So from what I can gather, this will only be a back up functionality so that you will always have peace of mind when playing a game.  Congratulations Playstation Plus members, you cluster ^$%#&@ us normal folk!
