Aha!  So this IS cloud storage!  It jsut has to be implemented per game.

From Joystiq:

Future titles will offer the ability to save directly to PSN, Sony says, bypassing your local HDD entirely.

This makes sense, given when news of 3.60 was first leaked a month or so back, the leak-ee said it would be up to the developer to imlpement the feature.

I hope they make it mandatory.

Awesome, that certainly gives me hope. Now we just need developers to start using it, and using it alot!


I'm hoping we'll see patches for older games, too.  LBP2 and KZ3 would be nice.

I gotta wonder how it'll be implemented though.  Do you have to specify that it save online as opposed to offline?  Will it auto-save online for games that never even prompt you to save, like LBP2?

If it's proper cloud saving, it'll be like Steam, where your offline and online saves are one and the same.  You don't even have to think about it. When you save, it saves to both places, with your offline save overwriting your online save should you ever play offline.

If it is like Steam in that regard, then this could actually be a better overall implementation than Steam, given Steam doesn't support online saving at all for older games.

Though Steam is free.
