I'm not sure about save files. You would have to save them onto a USB drive and then upload them to a new PS3. Trophies are linked to your PSN account. To access them on another PS3 you have to re-create your account on the new PS3. Word of caution, if you are creating your new account on a friends PS3, they could potentially have access to your wallet, so just be aware of that.

Anyway, once the account is created on the PS3, log in and all your info and trophies will be there.

the trophies are stored online so they are transfered where ever you go, most game saves can be transfered I've only run into 4 that couldn't be: megaman 9, Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, and Ninja Gaiden sigma. all my other game saves could be transfered.

you can by using a flash drive...by backing up your save files on your ps3

some save files are locked to the ps3. capcom games like to do this, and it may be a emerging trend with ps3 developers.

moving may not be possible, but you can back up the entire harddrive on your ps3.. this will save everything. save files, downloaded games, dlc, everything. i do this maybe once a month, or if i buy something off PSN... this way if my harddrive crashes, or the ps3 dies, i can restore everything from my last backup.

I had hoped that transferring PS3 trophies would be as easy as transferring 360 achievements, but I ran into issues of not being able to do this. My gf and I both have PS3s at our houses, and both of our accounts are on one another's systems. When I was playing Arkham Asylum, I would play mainly on my system at home, but also sometimes at her house since we both had the game. I earned some trophies on her system and wasn't able to sync them onto my system. So I have the trophies for like 25% and 50% riddles and also all riddles found, but the 75% is on her system and I have other missing trophy gaps.

Also I work at Best Buy and a customer brought in his PS3 that would not eject discs. Long story short, I helped him with his new system he received through our protection plan by transferring all of his saved data with a USB drive, and also logged onto the PSN and recovered his account. When doing a trophy sync he only received the trophies from 2 out his 20+ saved games.

So yeah, I know it should work, but I've only seen partial success with this process. Has anyone actually done it successfully, as I would love to be able to play PS3 at my gf's house without bringing my whole system over. :?

You would have to sign into the new PS3 with ur account and sync it for your trophies. Your save data is tricky but possible use a USB stick. However some saves may be locked to your system.

Most games are probably going to locked game saves because of trophy hackers.

Trophies are stored on PS3 servers so they will always be there regardless of which PS3 you use.

Save Files can be transferred using USB, but each save file is linked to that PS3 it was created on. Meaning if you take the save file to another PS3, as in your case, its going to not match up with the original PS3 and will think your trying to hack the trophies thus disabling them with THAT save file.

Didn't that get removed in the slims? I think the 80 GB and below could do it but i don't think i ever saw the option on my slim.

save files work if you log into psn from the other PS3. I have 2 ps3s and do it all the time. Obviously copy-protected files do not work that way. To get trophies just log into PSN from the other PS3 and sync. It will take a while to pull down your trophies if you got alothiryu3

thats your secret!
