PS3 trivia noob question - Blu-ray Forum

How do you move all saved game files over to a new account?
I made a new account because people are afraid of my PSN: Bazylik666 *shrugs* and say they won't play with me cause it makes their souls cry *double shugs*

I decided to make a new one but don't really want to go through everything again. How do I copy everything to the new account? I should mention that it's just sub account, should I make a new master account?

You need to copy the files to a USB drive.

Steps:
1. Place the USB drive into the PS3.
2. Go to the saved file and hit triangle.
3. Select Copy.

Now it should transfer. If it doesn't work let me know as I may be confusing this with something else.

just save all your game saves to a flash drive, then upload them once you have logged into your new profile and save them to the HDD.

Thanks for playing.

You don't need to copy to external drives.. just select the game save, press triangle, copy, and you should be able to copy directly to your newly created subaccount profile.

Copy-protected game saves are the exception of course.

I know Rainbow Six Vegas 2 you can't. I had someone at work told me they couldn't cause he tried to before upgrading his hard drive. He looked online and found out from other people the same thing. I'm not sure if there are more than that one, but as far as I know it's just that I've heard about.

That's why you use the backup and restore utilities built into the PS3 .. they will preserve protected content across upgrades. If he lost his game save .. he didn't have to.

I don't give a crap... I will still use it's just for one game that those crybabies play and I'd liked to kick their asses... RL friends won't give a crap what your sn is, random people won't give a crap... bunch of noobs from a forum apparently are, go figue... not referring to this forum btw. although maybe 4 people out of a bunch accepted my friend invite from here too hehee...just sayin'

Alice, thank you for a very thought out post.. it got deleted before I could blink, that's a first.

Somebody has anger issues I think. Takes gaming WAY to seriously. Oh well glad to see the mods stepped up so fast with that one.
