At Sony's Gamescom 2012 press briefing, the company outlined some upcoming plans for PlayStation Plus. Most notably, the Cloud Saving feature is getting a huge upgrade from 150 MB to a full GB, which the company says ensures that users will never run out of space to save games in the cloud.

The company also casually mentioned that the service will be expanding to PlayStation Vita, though it was vague on that front. Sony promised more information to come soon, so we'll update as details become available.

      that's not a problem, the problem is automatically syncing your saved games. so on my PS3 at home it does it no problem. the PS3 at the cottage, which isn't mine, I have to manually download my saves when I arrive and manually upload my saves before I leave. because the dude that owns the ps3 and has the primary psn account on the system doesn't have plus, no software updates automatically either.
