You would have thought that they would have universal data cables as well but no. I have a cable lying around the house which is only compatible between a 20gb harddrive and a 250gb harddrive. I've always thought that it would make a lot of sense to simply give players a few gb of online storage space as a safety net for save game data.

I remember when having to send off a PS3 because the Blu Ray player packed up, all that needed to be done to move the saves is to connect up an external USB hard drive and move the saves on to that. All you need to do then is keep the saved data information in this Limbo like state until the new console arrives and then just put it back on. Isn't that simpler than making specialised data cables?
