Well, as you load your franchises to/from the servers, they're referred to as the "Cloud". Same thing and I already use those. However, in every past year, the servers have been disabled for use on or around the time the next game comes out although this is the first Vita release. I presume this will also happen this year as well.
So, to repeat the question, is there any other way other than using Cloud storage to switch franchises from the console to the Vita and vicey versy that I've missed that would facilitate not having this go immediately obsolete?
