PlayStation®3 General Discussion

[TINTINTB303]

I have to say I was slightly shocked this morning as I switched my PS3 on and a message pops up saying something along the lines of "not enough online space left to make an auto online save". Hmm, now I have been playing Mafia 2 the last few days and every day the game has saved and overwritten my previous Mafia 2 online save as it's supposed to do. I haven't played/saved any other games recently so why now am I getting this message?? WHY is Mafia 2 game saves 42mb (a little under one third of your allready small allowance) when most games vary from 50kb to the largest (aside from Mafia 2) is Heavy Rain that comes in at a heafty 7000kb or so but still no where near Mafia 2 and it's gready save file. So anyway why is it we can't even BUY extra online game save space let alone PS+ giving people say at least 500mb to begin with and why is Mafia 2 such a big save file when similar games (yes I'm looking at you GTA IV) come in at I think about 2000 or 3000kb??

Isn't PS+ mainly for backing up your locked game saves? Mafia 2 is a large file and the save is not locked so wouldn't it just make sense to back the game up onto USB/external drive or a PC

i reckon we should have more space 500MB to 1GB would do perfectly

As mentioned above just use PS+ for copy protected saves Mafia 2 isn't copy protected i have backed that save file to USB memory stick myself. 

I could kill of a PS+ memory allowance of in minutes if i backed all my saves up i have around 15 to 20 save files for Skyrim alone that would fill that allowance so glad those files ain't copy protected.

Giving 1GB to EVERY PS+ user? Do you know how much storage space Sony would need?

And it would not be a free increase, ether PS+ would go up in cost per year or The adverts on the PS+ store would increase. 

A COD pop up advert every time you download your saves.

Even current Online cloud storage spaces services are paid for BUY adverts.

And they only download at 30kb/s  ( Rapid share, netload, mediafire )

18gb?

It's bit annoying to have save files dotted all over the place, just cos' there's not enough memory on plus. Anyway I thought Plus cloud storage is suppose to expand when needed too. Sony there should be 1TB of cloud storage space per user. Make it happen!

And yet, Dropbox with 50,000,000+ users give you 2GB for free.

If someone like Dropbox can manage it, I'm sure Sony wouldn't struggle.

You even get 25GB free with Microsoft SkyDrive so I don't see why Sony couldn't offer 1GB.

You get about 512MB with XBL

But that said I have never used more than 25MB on PSN or 30MB on XBL I have a lot of saves but I only upload what I need.
