1) Why wasn’t data transfer created BEFORE bringing out the PS3 slim model? There are a few saves I lost when I upgraded my fat to slim?

2) It is simply NOT sufficient to rely on data transfer as a solution to moving locked content from one console to another. Because what is the backup function for?

And I mean that comment seriously – right now, the only possible value in backing up a console is so that you can restore it in the event of a hard drive being error / being replaced IN THE SAME CONSOLE. It doesn’t cover you if the console itself fails, and that is simply WRONG.

In the event of a full system failure, you should be able to restore protected backups onto a new / replaced system. IMHO, the simple answer to this is to at the very least allow protected backups to be restored to systems that are activated on that account.

Why do people make such a big deal over Cross Game Voice Chat. If you really want to talk to your friend about something when you guys are on different games, isnt that what the PHONE is for. Even a simple text, get on killzone 2, if you want your friend to play get the job done. Sony should focus on more important things. One important thing they should include in their updates is the ability to tie game saves to a persons PSN ID account, that way they can get rid of that damn protected game saves problem. Please Sony, add that feature.

Im happy to see constant updates. On an unrelated topic. When can we expect an update that allows videos to be stored in their proper folders?

It already happens with music but when you copy movies over you have to have them stored or grouped in a folder called a, b, c, d, etc

My 60g ps3 gave me the ylod. I went and bought a new slim 120g. Will I be able to repair it myself/game stop (no point in sending it to sony, I heard they send you a refurbished one) AND the HDD only works on the ps3 that formated it in the first place and I want to keep my data. Then can I update to 3.15 and use the data transfer to get my .jpgs transfered? I don’t care about any of the game saves I only want my pictures!!! And of course I didn’t create a backup. Will those files be transfered??

Great news because after exactly 2 years of PS3 40gb use it’s life came to an end. All features work except for the ability to play games on disc/cd’s or movies. The laser disc reader is actually what dies i suppose. reading other blogs sounds like it has happened to others as well. Not to say it is a common system error. The PS3 has been great. Will get the PS3 slim 120gb and move all existing data over hopefully seamlessly.We have spend ALOT on PS3 downloads for Singstar, Pain and Little Big Planet. All of this should transition over…right?
Thanks

It seems some people are still confused. This data transfer does transfer protected/locked game saves and profiles. They are deleted on the source system but are transferred to the new PS3. This has been tested and verified!

Why can’t I transfer the protected saves? That should be removed in the next firmware update.

DRM is the cancer of the digital mediascape, slowly it will rot all that it touches and hurt many as it ploughs way through the land!

Seriously I had no idea that game saves couldn’t be transferred between devices, I already avoid purchasing video cos I’m guessing that’s DRM’d to the nines and if can’t move it to my TVersity media server (like I have my entire cd/dvd collection) then I don’t wanna know. Now I find that I can’t move game saves either! Well there goes my plan to buy a second PS3 for my bedroom (that way I could stream media and MY play games too).

When will companies realise that they are selling to PEOPLE not devices and the relationship you build with them can last a lifetime!

P.S. My big update wishlist is that you allow us to create (MUSIC) playlists from items we have on our media servers, or allow the music player to access media server content directly so we can play our own music in games (I don’t want to copy music back and forth every time I change my mood or game!)

Okay, after I did this update, the PS3 stopped reading my games and DVDs.

What do I do to rectify this problem?
