You will be asked to select the destination of the back up save, navigate to the new option ‘ONLINE STORAGE’ and press X to copy over.

• Go to ‘GAME’ icon, select ‘SAVE DATA UTILITY’ and then ‘ONLINE STORAGE’
• Highlight the saved data you wish to copy.
• Press triangle and select ‘COPY’ to retrieve the save

I am very excited for this feature simply because if your at using another PS3,  your game saves are in the cloud.  This means you will be able to continue right where your save point was at your own residence. Very good play Sony indeed, now if you will only put Chrome as your default web browser or Cross Game Chat i will even be happier.
