get a ps+.. comes out in january


all ps3 first party beta comes out for ps+

and honestly with the inclusion of full game downloads for free, as well psn games like heist and dungeon defenders and vita games (if you own a vita), i can justify paying $50 a year for this thing

street fighter III on sale on PSN $10.49 or $7.49 for plus members

Anyone big on madden13 or nba2k13?

I use to have NBA 2K9 a long time ago but gave up very quickly because I suck at sports games :(

Who is still playing black ops 2 ?

I only play Zombies, anyone care to team up?

just a heads up if any of you need a new ps3. park royal futureshop is clearing their slim 160gb for 149.99 w/ 2yr service plan included.

PSN+ is only $50 for 15 months.

Started playing with my PS3 a lot more, what exclusives do you guys recommend playing? I'm playing through Heavy Rain and it's pretty awesome.

MGS4/Uncharted series/LBP2/Starhawk/GoW3
if you play fps games on console Killzone is also great

in love with ni no kuni atm!

hey guys quick question, I'm about to buy a new PS3 as I gave my other Slim to my little brother 2 years ago, but got the itch for Gran Turismo again...
problem is, I know Sony is an asshole with all it's proprietary bullshit so I wanna know if I can fully transfer my whole Gran Turismo profile over to my new system ?

Definitely going to give the Uncharted series a play through. Is it worth playing GoW1 and 2? I've never given those a play either.

I think the PSN has 1 + 2 as a bundle at a cheap price. They're fun, give a bit of backstory as to why Kratos is so pissed, and just overall are worth it, even for maybe about 8 hours of game.

Dont just sign into your psn?

^ I don't think that's the solution. I remember my roommate wanted to transfer a profile for a game and he basically had to replay everything as you can't copy files over like you can on an Xbox. I think being on Playstation Plus can remedy this though?

yea I cant just sign into my old PSN account because I can't take that account back from my little bros since they have all their game achievements and online stuff for all their games under that account..

I just want to know if I'm able to take my old gamesave from that account and transfer it into my new Slim in my new account and be ok as far as the online aspect of Gran Turismo.... I'd hate to go try race online in GT with that game save and it tell me I'm unable to do so because it isn't mine

PS3™ | Data Transfer Utility

?

well my first attempt by copying save file onto USB from my old PS3 onto my new one failed....
I booted up GT on my new PS3 and it failed saying "Trying to load another user's file"

now I must google away, because this is absolute bullshit.... I got all fuckin golds on every test, lol.... am not in the mood to go for it again

some saves are data protected if you try and copy it to USB drive/HDD
it's their way to make people sign up for PSN+ to take use of their cloud game save function
just use the data transfer utility with the network cables...it clones your old ps3 to your new one

So i was right afterwards :D

Just finished DMC Devil May Cry, fuckin awesome game!

I had that problem to. I had to make my ps3 profile name the same as my dads ps3, But im not sure if you would be able to go online as you would be using a new psn account.. I used the same account when i did mine

No it wasn't data protected, I was able to copy the files via USB stick. It's just when I go into the actual Gran Turismo game, start it up and a pop up comes on that gives me the error saying I'm trying to load another user's data.

So yea it's impossible apparently because game saves are locked to the original PSN accounts, you can't move them between different PSN accounts, and I understand why, it's to prevent cheating, but what about cases like mine? I'm totally fcked here, I even emailed Sony about it....
Thing is I created a new PSN account on my new system, so my old save data is locked to my old PS3 that my little brothers have. I would take back my old account but they have all their various games on there as well so I can't do that.

G-Spec... I hate to say it but you are pretty much SOL... my friend went thru the exact same situation as you did....the only was is to ditch ur new PSN account and clone your old PS3's profile.... Now I am not sure if the same PSN can sign on 2 diff PS3 at the same time...

1. System Settings > Backup Utility
2. Backup your full system on an external HDD, I have a total backup because I am paranoid about PS3 failing (still has the first gen JDM white console) I allocated 180GB FAT32 on my 3TB external....
3. System Settings > Data Transfer Utility
4. Connect 2 PS3s with the Ethernet cable and transfer away
5. After your new PS3 is fully functional...
6. Boot up your old PS3 and Recover the system from the backup you made in step one..

Not sure if this works.. but this way... you will technically have 2 PS3s running the same account... I think as long as you two are playing diff games maybe it will fly? dunno good luck

The only way I've been able to restore a GT5 backup was to use PS+ cloud saving feature. I did it when they gave everyone a free account.

IMO if you play a lot of games, PS+ is actually worth it.... anyway the next Playstation will probably require a paid account for online anyway. They made a huge mistake making it free with PS3.

sony better keep PSN free next gen or I'm likely not getting a PS4
I like having the choice of basic vs +
