Hypothetically, lets just say I wanted to make a new PSN account. So I would make a new account on my PS3 and I'd want to transfer all my saved game files from my old account to my new one. My question is: when I transfer the game saves, do the trophies I earned in the game saves carry over? Also, is doing all of this (i.e. transferring my game saves from one account to a new one) even possible to begin with?

Trophies are tied to your PSN ID.

Most trophies are not retro-active.

Actually, I don't think any trophies are retro-active.

As a result they aren't gained from save files, but by actually gaining the required event.

So, no, your save files will not unlock trophies.

I believe that is correct. I think Burnout was the only game that was supposed to have retro-active trophies but they ended up not doing it in the end.

why would they make it accesible through save files when they want people to play their games again, and possibly re buy.
