Sony Increasing The Storage Capacity Of Blu-Ray Discs
Sony and Panasonic have announced plans to increase the capacity of Blu-Ray discs (such as those used by PS3 games) from 25GB to 33.4GB. Hideo Kojima will be so pleased! More »Sony Adds 'Cloudsurf' To Cloud Of Trademarks
Just before 2009 came to a close, the Sony Corporation sought trademark protection for something cloudy, but something likely not Final Fantasy VII related, the service "Cloudsurf." That's one of a few "cloud" themed products hinted at by Sony. More »MAG Beta Off To A Rocky Start
Zipper Interactive has launched the promised open beta test for the PlayStation 3's MAG, but early server issues are causing frustration for players unable to connect. More »Sony Puts In-Theatres Movie On PlayStation Store

2009 wasn't the best year for Sony, at least financially. So the Japanese company is looking to trim a little more of its overheads, specifically with the way PlayStation games are distributed. More »12/26/09
Start making servers with the intention of giving every PSN user 100gb of space. Now you charge for that space. Say $20 per year for 25gb of space. $35 - 50gb. And $60 a year for 100gb of space.
What is this space good for? All of our data. At anytime a PSN user can send everything on his system to this Sony cloud he's paying for (20gb, 50gb, or 100gb.) If he has more data on his local hard drive than he is paying for he'll need to delete some stuff or be allowed to select what he wants to back up.
Now his saves, game data, games, PSN downloads, friends, everything at all, is backed up. He can sell his PS3 now, in a pinch say, and then re buy it later. This too increases the likelihood he'll buy new and not used since it could be after an upgrade or some bundle or who-knows-what.
