[quote name='pjb16']So I guess it wasn't the "typical bullshit that Sony constantly does" after all?[/QUOTE]
I will check that "cloud" thing out on PS+, GBA. FWIW, its pretty well documented that Sony's online is not all that easy or transparent, the constant updates on tuesdays, locking out usage until updated, the refusal of using debit cards for adding funds to wallet (unless there is something hinky I am doing there...), inadvertent multiple accounts, and many hoops to go thru for getting things sorted out, of which the best info was here. I have NEVER had any issues with my Apple account or 360 to compare with my Sony account, how I ended up with multiple accounts is still a mystery to me, but I am now a more "wise" user (at least I hope...) and hope that I can avoid online issues in the future...
