Default Is it safe to delete save games??

I have read quite a few threads about people losing lots of their saved games, was the cause of this identified?

I must have 3-400 saves now and would like to delete some because I believe it will speed up the syncing at the beginning of the game which is currently taking about 4 mins.

So is it safe to delete some of my older games??

You shold have no problems deleting some of your saves. I only keep two (besides the auto saves). I can't think why you should keep all those

"Is it safe?. . . I will ask you again, "Is it safe?"

Who said that and to whom did he say it ?

Yes - a year's coupons to the Disneyland of your choice (provided it's in the U.S.A) for being the first movie buff to answer correctly. Congratulations.
P.S. Is it safe to assume you know I am kidding?

Sir, is it safe to ask, if one is acquainted with the general topics forum?

I keep one save, I use the auto save as a backup. My computer syncs to a server everynight so those files are backed up every 24hrs.

3-400 saves. You should see a Doctor about OCD treatment.

Aren't the saves meant to be stored on Ubi's servers?
