Guys.... just found out the hard way that changing your ps3's gpu will force the ps3 to format your current hard disk, so if anyone encounters ylod issue pls backup your game saves before doing anything. i dunno how sony thought gpu has anything to do with piracy that the ps3 has to format the hdd after replacing gpu but lesson learned. i'm definitely not gonna buy sony consoles anymore.. cheers guys
EDIT: don't even bother backing up the data guys, according to this
http://www.megabearsfan.net/post/2012/07/0...Story-Rant.aspx even backing up your data doesn't help as the data won't be recognised by the ps3 (as far as the ps3's concerned, its a "new"/"different" machine just by changing the gpu). Which means sony intended to make people fork out money to buy a new console anytime there's a problem.
There's a trick to this actually. You back it up into your usb then you copy into your PS3 then delete the files in your usb from your PS3 system then you copy the files back into the usb and then copy balik into the PS3 overwriting the existing files. That's what I did when I added in jerseys and emblems from my usb to the PS3 for PES2013. The tutorial I saw mentioned your problem so that was their solution and it worked for me. Not sure if it applies to other save game datas but anyone else ever facing this problem can try it out la. But you must activate your PS3 again first and then log in to your account before doing all this copying.
A tad bit troublesome but if it can rescue your save datas then why not.

oh, thanks for the clarification
usually how much does a PSN code cost?
It varies depending on the game and its publishers but on average a new code from PSN ranges from RM30 to RM50 per code.
