Online Storage Available To PlayStation Plus Members From Tomorrow.
-
In response to overwhelming demand from the PS3 community, we are pleased to announce that Online Storage for Game Saves will be available to PlayStation Plus members from tomorrow, 10 March, allowing you to store your game saves for peace of mind and easy access from any PlayStation 3 system in the world.
After downloading PS3 System Software Update 3.60, Plus members will have access to 150MB of space and will be able to store up to 1000 PS3 game saves.
To do so, simply highlight the game save you want to store in the [Saved Data Utility (PS3)], press the triangle button to bring up the options, select “copy” and then select “Online Storage” as the destination. In turn, you can access your Online Storage list via [Saved Data Utility (PS3)] when signed into PlayStation Network on a friend’s PS3 and download your stored game saves to carry on your game from where you left off.
If the developer has chosen to implement copy protection on their game saves, you can still copy those files to Online Storage but there will be a 24 hour period, after each save, before you can then download them on any PS3.
If your PlayStation Plus subscription expires then you will no longer be able to access Online Storage until you renew your subscription. However, any game saves stored will be kept for six months and you will be able to access them as before when you renew the subscription, as long as you do so within that six month period.
Hopefully that tells you everything you need to know about this new, much requested service. If you do need any more information, the official PlayStation forums have posted a guide, and ask us in the comments as always.

Same reason good have Google Docs and all your data is stored on their private servers in the middle of now where, and then they have a back up server simply because its less hassle..
Although what Nate said is a good point why not make it automatic or atleast an option to make it automatic maybe?
I think it's a very good idea, good for sony anyway more people will subscribe to PSN+ -
I don't pay for Google Docs or Dropbox. This isn't worth paying for in my opinion.
If I want to take my saves or profile somewhere I'll put them on a USB drive.

Fair enough i guess depends how much hassle you want, like i said this is easy they store it then you can play that save anywhere on and ps3.
I'd assume it's being brought out before portal 2 as vavle have said that a game started on the ps3 in portal 2 can then be finished on the pc. -

Like Xbox live?

Where as you pay for playing online and get no cloud game saves.
