My fat PS3's blu ray drive conked out so i bought a new 160gb slim and after mulling over the best way to move the saves across (games like bioshock and FF 13) i settled on using the data transfer utility.
After updating the firmware to 4.11 on both systems and 'deactivating' the old one per sonys online instructions (i had to make a PSN account to do this) i did the data transfer with no errors and i 'activated' the new system.
Everything seems to be copied over (i only had game saves) but i can't use the saves, it says they're from another user.
Most peoples problems stem from trying to transfer their saves over USB or somesuch, all the people who have done an entire data transfer have working save games, even the copy protected ones.
Any ideas? Is anyone registered on PS3 forums who could ask this? i've been trying to figure this out all over the weekend and it's doing my nut in!
