I was 8% close to getting plat in SF4 when my phat PS3 died and then boom! All countless hours of trying and perfecting character trials lost! I will never re-try them again as I've spent more than 150 hours of playing time just to get platinum. Now, here the funny part: SSF4 save files are not locked anymore(F*CK you should have thought it before!). Now, here it is again on GT5. I just hope they change it to psn id locked before it's too late!!! I really hate those locked saves!!!! I was 8% close to getting plat in SF4 when my phat PS3 died and then boom!

this needs to stop and previous games with locks should make a patch update…it’s annoying and I can’t take it anymore…I want to be able to back up ALL my saves to feel safe in the event that my PS3 YLOD or something…but now?…i can’t help but shake in fear everytime I play a game with a locked save and wonder if the power goes out what will become of the save.

fix this SONY…fix is IMMEDIATELY

I would have really liked this feature a while ago when my ps3 was freezing up on me frequently, i but a newer ps3. I may get a slim at some point and use this feature. @paranoimia it’d still work with harddrive failure, as long has you had it back up. step 1. put in new hard drive, into old machine, restore from backup to old machine, if you move to new machine follow the guide.

The other downside of this that is not mentioned is that the contents on the original Ps3 is being erased. But it is great for people who like to upgrade and leave his PS3 behind without his game save catalogue. The transfer is also great for people who have non fatal errors such as a blu-ray drive failure, and who want to upgrade to slim instead of paying for the replacement.
