Cloud Saving on PS3
Data loss or corruption is not an unfamiliar concept to gamers, which is why the online saving functions introduced by companies like Blizzard and Valve Software are so appealing. Now Sony has plans to make this convenient storage method available to PS3 users—at least those who are subscribed to the PlayStation Plus service. The idea is to be able to access backup data from one of Sony’s servers in the unfortunate event that your console’s hard drive takes a dive. It has been speculated that players will still be able to save locally, but saves and other data will be copied to one or more secure “cloud” servers for easy access later on.
