But is 150MB enough? Some gamesaves can become quite large, the limit should be far bigger than this. This should be close around 2-4GB for gamesave data

They will probably start small and hopefully crank it up over time. At some point I imagine there may be a cloud save feature separate from PSN plus and also the ability to add more space to the base package.

Well that crank better start turning, 150mb wont even put a dent into all the gamesaves I have

From what I understand you can have up to 1000 game saves and each save can be 150mb. I could be wrong though.

Anyone know what the average game save size is???

This is not an exit.

Yeah, some of those arent too bad, but when you get inti the RPGs where one might have multiple saves it could be a problem. I beleive the Fallout 3 and NV saves are around 5-6mb for each save, i have over 30 for each game. And lets not talk about Dragon Age Origins

Do you really keep all 30 saves forever? I use alot of saves for RPGs too but I only plan on keeping the important ones in the cloud. The just before the final battle save, the fork save, etc.

A warrior keeps death on the mind from the moment of their first breath to the moment of their last.

Precious Demons Souls game saves (European and NA versions) are safe now. This online storage is such a great feature.

I got a funny feeling that in the future, PC supremacists will use this and taunt PSN plus subscribers like how they taunted xbox live subscribers.

"BLAH BLAH BLAH pay for cloud storage?? BLAH BLAH BLAH get it for free on steam! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH uck on that dirty console peasants!" or something like that along the lines :P
