PS3 software update takes gamers to the cloud

[dfergie]

The feature means that, with the option enabled, gamers can bash away on their joypads killing prostitutes / soldiers / zombies, scoring goals, making putts and the like - all safe in the knowledge that their progress is being backed-up in cyberspace.

One thing I noticed is that the UI now has a separate TV/Video icon

I haven't fired mine up yet...

There is now a seperate "TV/Video Services" icon/folder shaped as a TV and contains all of the video and TV APPs and a "Video" icon/folder which contains all of the networked and saved videos. These used to all be under one folder/icon called "Video"

That's a slick looking theme.

Cloud storage has been available to PS Plus subscribers ($50/year) for several months. The 3.70 update patch adds auto-updating to the feature as well as auto-synching of trophies for PS Plus subs only.

About time, my UK playstation account has had it from day 1 (granted I can access any off the bbc or itv programs, but it was a nice setup).

I really like this update....just need TV/Cable/CableCard tuners and DVR functionality and we're all set.
