Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

my system ran the update last night, i have no idea what it added or fixed

Other than adding suggestions in the PSN store, it really didn't do anything.

Section 8 was 5 bucks on Amazon... I just found out now by going to Amazon.com and seeing the hourly best sellers. It's originally $30 and it seemed like an interesting game. I couldn't snag it though, says it's unavailable. Hopefully the demo downloads quick and if I like it Amazon gets some more codes.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Can one of you guys quote this article here. I'm at work and can't read it but the headline has my interest peaked. http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010...ystation-plus/

[rspencer86]

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Here you go, Chef:

If you’re one of those people who does their gaming on more than one PS3, then you know that there is one thing that sorely affects your ability to pickup where you left off. That is the fact game saves are stored away on the system’s HDD. So sadly, you cannot keep on trucking away at the single player game you are currently playing back home, on a friends PS3. That is unless you pop in a USB thumb drive or memory stick (for us early adopters) and grab your save data. Just don’t forget to do it again before you go back home, or else you’ll be stuck re-playing everything you did while you were away from your own PS3. Of course, some of these game saves are even copy-protected and are unable to be copied to another PS3.

This is even more frustrating for those of us with more than one PlayStation 3 in the same house, on the same wireless network. However, a recent survey conducted by Sony Japan, hints at a solution to all this game save swapping.

According to this SCEJ survey which asked PlayStation Network users ‘what features they would like added to PlayStation Plus’, one of the options was for online-server based game saving.

Having your game saves stored in a computer cloud would theoretically allow you to access those game saves anywhere you are connected to the PlayStation Network – be it your friends house or in your very own home.

While this is only a survey, it’s likely that Sony is at least considering bringing the option to PlayStation Plus subscribers in the future. Let’s just hope enough Japanese gamers chose that option when asked in the survey.

To all you PlayStation Plus subscribers out there, would this be a feature you would use? To the non-subscribers, would this feature sway your decision to become a PlayStation Plus subscriber? Let us know below…

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Here you go, Chef:

Sweet! Thanks Ryan.

I gotta say this would definietly help to sway me over to subscribe.

I have two PS3's in my house and I'm stuck on playing different games in each room. Right now it's Batman AA and Ghostbusters in the bedroom and MLB 10 and LBP in the living room.

I know I can transfer a few of those saves back and forth but it's too much of a hassle to deal with.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Played through half of it last night already! While it isn't a pure remake (doesn't look like the sprites have been redrawn, more like a very clean upscale) it still looks great and even better, sounds amazing!

Probably not quite as good sound as the Sega CD version but I'm glad most of the soundtrack is intact. Now, just hoping the guy who sounds like Seinfeld still does the ending...

Yeah I would be getting PSN+ if they added this.

Most of my saves are protected and cant be copied.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Bingo and it can get very annoying having to use a flash drive every time I go to my friends house to play also.
