Going to get the slim and transfer the save files, some of them are locked and I don't know if BACKUP HDD will transfer them. Im going to use my 4gb flash drive and delete the game installations so the system just backs up the save files. will the locked ones transfer?

Your trophies should sync because they are attached to your PSN account no matter what so it should work.

No they won't transfer. They will only work in your current system.

man so basically I shouldn't play any more SF4 or Bound in blood on the current ps3, I don't like this lock feature. I mean who'd really give a save file to their friend, its not the ps2 era any more.

They DO transfer. I just switched hard drives and all the locked ones moved just fine. Backing up an HDD is the only way to transfer locked save files.

I'm pretty sure you can find a way to restore onto a new PS3. Isn't it an option somewhere?

Killzone 2, Rock Band 2 (definitely locked) and every one of my saved game files transferred to my new HDD.

EDIT: Sorry yeah it turns out it only works on the same PS3.
