PS3 To Support Cloud Game Saves With Firmware Update

With a scheduled update to firmware 3.60, The PS3 will be able to transfer its saved game files into the cloud network. It will be tied to your PSN account so as long as you have the game, you can access the save files and play it on any other PS3. This is akin to what we have for a good portion of games for Steam and of course OnLive, which relies totally on saving to the Cloud.

What if Pokemon were all cosplaying girls?

Seems like this was the question in an Poke-artist’s (sure why not call them that), as they transformed all 493 Pokemon into cosplaying girls. Its a little dated as there are no new Pokemon from the Black and White versions on the DS ( this was made in 2008). Nonetheless, perhaps this will inspire a new meaning to the phrase Gotta Catch ’em All.
