SolidusDave said:Well at least the PSN "folder" (with description) is displayed on the top of the savegame list, so you can't miss it. Don't know if the common user ever looks in there though
Exactly
BTW, I can't find my LBP2 save on my system. Only the LBP1 shows up. Any ideas?

LBP1&2 now save the stuff in the game data, you have to first export a normal savegame from within the game(s).

Noticed something different, stupid, but different. Friends Los now sorts all uppercase friends first, lower case second. IE A is first but a is after Z.

This update is for the scene it appears from some of the moaning going off over there..... One guy reckons Sonys changed all the loaders with a new system and all with new keys. They've added another level of security too he says.
Not sure if he's just winding people up though....
Just updated my virgin Slim a minute ago, I'm not a PSN Plus member so the cloud is useless to me. I really wish they'd focus on adding useful features for everyone instead of removing loaders and upping security that will be broken eventually... In any case, I need some scene entertainment so the NPDRM/newfangled CFW needs to be released soon!
My CFW PS3 still on 3.55...

Yeah, it's for every steam user but it works for steamwork titles only e.g. Halflife, Portal, etc etc.lupinko said:
Steam is a godsend but it's hard to replicate that in consoles especially when right now subscription is the number one priority for both Sony and Microsoft, and you need to give reasons to people to pay.

Its up to the devs, really. In PS3 it's easier cause all games save in one folder. In PC, all developers have their own way of saving files in different folder.
That said, what else the firmware add?

I still want a beastin web browser...
My phone web browser is better... and has like half the ram. There are some other features I want... I just can't think of them at the moment. They are mainly small things that get annoying.

It would have been great if the cloud save was larger, Mafia 2 save is around 45MB, I've pretty much filled up the 150MB limit already Nice that the lock saves can be uploaded

It's not useless. Not a major feature of course but who claimed it was. Some people want longer times between their controller turning off, it's a valid thing to add.
But I get your deal, you got to be funny and sarcastic etc. For the record, I want more useful features as well but I don't blame Sony for putting their money and effort into securing their system. Not that that should ideally interfere with adding new features but I am sure it does. I don't really feel they've addressed any of the requests list items they put up on their blog where you got to vote on what you felt was the most important stuff.
So does that mean all the "news" saying that the PS3 was never going to be secure again not true now then?

I'd be surprised if it isn't increased in time, if/when Sony start to make more money from the service.
I don't think Sony has put a lot of thought into the cloud save feature. In my case I purchased a PSN+ for a secondary account. I didn't think it would make any difference, but now I can't use the online storage option fully.
It looks like the "online storage" save feature is only possible if your main account is also the active PSN+ account. If you want to copy save games of other user accounts on your PS3 to the cloud, you've got to copy them first to your main PSN+ account before you can back them up online. The problem is, that doesn't work for all save games. You can't copy protected games saves to another PSN account on your system so I still can't back those up.

Pros:
- Backup! Yay!
- Not a lot of games to backup since most of them are options settings so I backed up all singleplayer campaigns and it's a total of 20MB. Not bad!
Cons:
- Can't save everything all together or lack of group saves makes it tiring process;
- 24 hour lockdown is some bullshit!
- 150MB might not be enough since some game have massive filesizes.
- Can't save minis or PSOne.
Other thoughts: Some people won't use it cause they have no reason to, or that they don't know it's available since it's hidden in the save file section and not under Network.

This is annoying as fuck. Sony really needs to give you the option of going back to the old way. Half my friends list starts their name with a lowercase letter.
How am I supposed to keep a constant eye on aj if he is now midway through my friends list and I have to go in and out of those damned text chats?

(i know that it is referring to that it is possible to take backup of all savegames on CFW, i'm just joking aroud =)).EDIT: What is the origin of that face by the way? I have seen it several of places, so i'm just wondering.

I understand a copy all function could be prone to errors due to space issues, but they really need to add a "select what you want by checkbox" feature.
Doing it all individually is a bit of a pain, the above would at least make it a little more automatic.

That would be nice. It is possible to do this when sending a message through PSN i think (to select multiply users from the friends list), so maybe it is possible to have a similar solution on savegames as well

Yeah, when you're copying video/music files to and from the PS3 you get the option to select multiple as well.
Surely it can be added in the next firmware and not 5 down the line.

Assassin's Creed 2/BR were about 7MB right there.
After saving the ones I wanted, I have 135 MB left. Don't care about the 24 hour lockdown.
Good feature. I've already given up hope about Universal custom soundtracks, so anything from here is just a bonus.

Ah cool, then it might be added to savegames as well indeed =)

Anybody else Friend's List fucked up?
Friend's list getting people who are away (yellow icon) still be blue?
I'm using the Sort By - Status, not Names
My friend has his status away, so he is at the bottom, but he still has a blue icon
When he becomes available, he doesn't come back to the top of my list, his name starts with an A
Name = Alphabetical, stays that way, never changes
Status = whoever is logged in, it's Alphabetical, first the Available, then if someone is away it puts below the last available friend, and goes Alphabetical again, then people logged off by how many minutes off PSN
Yeah 3.60 glitched friend's list, my friend also has the problem, he just confirmed
