<quote><p>Imagine your PS3 hard drive dies. Your saves are online, or your PS3 is in for repairs. You can still use a buddies PS3 and login to an account and play from your last save.

That sort of service gives incentive to buy future products.</p><p>Of course there are problems. What if you don't connect your console to the internet?

Not really a privacy/anti-"cloud" comment, but unless the game is multiplayer (i.e. Street Fighter), I usually play with the PS3 disconnected from PSN.
So, beside my saves being "somewhere" I cannot control, cannot backup, etc, I'm also forced to have always-on internet?
How did that go with Ubi?
