We’ve got some happy news for PlayStation Plus members this week – the latest firmware update (version 4.25) goes live tomorrow, increasing your Cloud Storage limit from 150MB to a whopping 1GB.
After you’ve installed the update, simply go to the Saved Data Utility under the Game column of the XMB. From there you can access the Online Storage folder and find any existing game saves already uploaded, as well as the increase in space to 1GB. So set your automatic download to upload every game save for every game you play, and enjoy the additional breathing room. You can also continue to use this feature to selectively upload game saves you specify.
As announced last week, your Instant Game Collection titles for September are epic Western adventure Red Dead Redemption, quirky indie puzzler Machinarium (both available now), retro dust-up Scott Pilgrim vs The World (available tomorrow) and Double Dragon Neon (due later this month).
In addition to that lot, I can also announce that Plus subscribers get a one week headstart on SEGA’s HD revamp of Dreamcast classic, Jet Set Radio. You can download it from tomorrow on PlayStation 3, with 10% off the £6.49/€7.99 asking price.
Oh, and don’t forget you can get 25% off a 12 month Plus subscription until 19th September.

Seconding when the All Stars beta codes will be emailed and when the beta goes up period. Tell us SOMETHING.
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 9:05 am by Fred Dutton
There’s been a brief delay on the PSAS beta – I’ll have more info for you soon.

Can’t say I’ve been fond of the Plus freebie games lately (RDR is garbage and Machinarium was interesting for the first couple of screens but I feel no desire to play any further) but this is something I very much wanted as I’ve only got about 5MB free space on my Plus cloud saves and this is a feature I wish had been available from the start (and if it had I would still have many more game saves that would total more than 150MB that were lost on my original PS3 when it died). 1GB is a very nice amount that should be enough for a long time. Love this and in conjunction with the automatic update feature that mean I don’t have to worry about losing important game save data ever again.

Awesome news about the online storage, just hit the limit.
Also, I thought Double Dragon Neon was mean’t to come out tomorrow? Or was there a hitch?
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 9:07 am by Fred Dutton
Double Dragon will be out this month, but not tomorrow. Scott Pilgrim should provide your side-scrolling brawler fix though.

If this happens with Sonic Adventure 2 and NIGHTS. SA2 will be added to my list.

Hello Fred, i dont know what is happening with Polish PSStore.
most of fields has transparent blank avatars, but if i want to choose and click on it, i can see what kind of content there is, they are just blank, transparent. any ideas when this can be fixed?
Sadly, most of content in “new this week” and PS+ content as well as “price drop” has this problem.
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 9:10 am by Fred Dutton
I’ll pass this one on to the Store team and see if I can find out what’s going on.

Nice work everyone! Increase to 1GB will be very helpful

Greetings,
I have a question for fellow plus members.
Lets say that I have 2 ps3 systems namely A and B. In system A I start a game that has copy protected save with online rankings, trophies etc. and then I upload it in the plus cloud storage. Can I download in a later date on system B and continue the game from when I left it and play online, win trophies etc?
@Fred
Will we see something about how Vita will work with plus before the 19th?
26
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 7:00 pm by jarofermix
That’s nice, but I would also like to ask if the legendary and not working for quite some time automatic download feature has been finally fixed. It doesn’t work from firmware 3.70 as I remember and you should be aware of the problem, since users report it for way too long.

The same thing is going on with the Danish store (at least for me), except I can’t see what’s in most of the transparent boxes, and I can’t access them either.
There are about 5 PS1 games, on the current sale, that I can’t access, and a LOT on the PS Plus section that I can’t see either. I’m considering joining Plus, but I wanna see what’s on offer first, and I want to know that I’ll be able to access it.
So I hope this gets fixed ASAP.

Great news! How about letting us use it for PSOne, PS2 saves and the vita>

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 7:07 pm by CostaPablo
If we buy the PS3 version of Jet Set Radio, do we get the Vita version?
Thanks

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 7:09 pm by james_agent
Any details on what update 4.25 brings? Typically,in todays world updates to firmware or OS bring many features.but the PS3 UI and usability hasn’t improved that much.

Can’t everyone have a bit of Cloud Storage for free? I only want a bit to save those god awful ‘Copy Protected’ saves :-/ (they really are annoying really because i like to back up my saves to USB stick each time i play a game due to me losing all my saves once when my 60GB PS3 died)
32
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 7:12 pm by bluearmy1987
GREAT news! Exactly what I was waiting for. 1GB will keep me going for some time.

thanks

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 7:18 pm by BluSpykz
Fantastic Fred, thanks. (Alliteration, impressed? Me neither).
Any ideas or rumours regarding PS Plus for Vita? I’m assuming something like UMD passport / free PS1/PSP games from the store.
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 9:14 am by Fred Dutton
More info on Plus for Vita coming soon – I can’t give you any more info today I’m afraid.

Will the missing icons in the plus store be fixed tomorrow too?

yes PLEASE do something about the blank and transparent spaces in plus- this is extremely annoying and has been occurring since July

Awesome stuff! I would love to see Dead Island and Rayman Origins as part of the freebies on PS3. Also looking forward to PS+ on Vita. Free Uncharted Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush please

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:06 pm by Gamesgbkiller
can you bring war of monsters PS2 to the store ?
US store has it why not EU ?

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:06 pm by Lejenko
Jet Set Radioooooooo! can’t wait to relive this dreamcast classic, remember it blowing me away the first time i saw it, was the game to introduce cell shaded graphics
43
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:14 pm by lbrowsky
@Double Dragon Neon (due later this month)
Isn’t it out today on US Store and was supposed to launch tomorrow in EU? You don’t want to tell it’s another game that’s delayed because of this whole certification thing, right?
44
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:15 pm by mike_291990
For people asking about Vita PS+, they said it would be later this year but that they have nothing to announce yet (they said this less than a week ago)
45
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:20 pm by procion
Was wondering when you would finally get around to increasing storage. Now all we need is ringtones for incoming PMs to the xmb and we are all set. I keep missing important msgs cos I dont see em come in…

PLEASE READ this thread on ” eu playstation . com “( English forums / Tech Support / PSN Support / PS Store items not appearing ).
This has been a problem for TWO Months now, and STILL no news on it even when it’s 19 pages long?
The PS+ tab as well as the PS Vita Sale tab from PS-Store is screwed so bad games most items CANNOT be seen?
When will this be sorted out as it’s getting beyond a joke now.

Here what SCEA added on their blog:
“Stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog for the latest info on future updates.”
so it means in a other blog post tomorrow what esle 4.25 or no other updates in 4.25.

Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 8:50 pm by Topov81
@25… Yes you can download the save to your 2nd PS3 and continue with game progress & trophies etc, this is exactly what I do to keep my two PS3′s in sync.
HOWEVER, worth noting that with copy protected saves you have to wait 24hrs after the initial upload (from System A) before it will let you download to System B.
@Fred… Would you consider expanding the use of Cloud Storage to allow music, photos & videos to be uploaded ?
50
Posted on 11 September, 2012 at 9:09 pm by vonhammer
Sweet.It became less of a issue once I could multi copy/delete,but it’s healthy bump.
@ Carl-G
“Can’t everyone have a bit of Cloud Storage for free?”
I agree,everyone should have a bit of space.Possibly even link it with Sony published games.5mb extra for every game you buy,from them would be nice.With a 150mb limit.
