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 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. Indeed, during the
NGP presentation, guest speaker Hideo Kojima specifically referred to saving your PS3 game on the console and resuming it on the
Next Generation Portable. "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.

Sounds good to me :) Unfortunately, it won't bring back your deceased game saves, but it could solve the problem in the future :p
