Hey guys
Im buying new ps3
But some of my games ..like game saves, online code is already redeemed using my other ps3 console which im going to give to my brother..
So how to take all online codes and games saves to my new ps3??

1. Transfer your saves from old ps3 to new ps3
2. Deactivate your account on old ps3
3. Activate your acoount on new ps3

Using internet cAble?
How long will it take?
And how bout my online codes that have been redeemed??
Will the trophy work after this?
*
Yes using ethernet cable
Depends on how big your files
Codes stick to the account u use to redeem them
Yes trophy will work but need resync on your new ps3 (takes time too if u have many trophies) brows.gif

Good for you coffee dude. A being struck with the same problem but cannot solve  rclxub.gif

Need some help here.

Mine is a 320g MY set PS3 slim, update 4.46 through the PS3 internal processes. I leave it to update but was surprise to see the 8002F1F9 error message  at 8X% progress .

Tried for 3 nights already, most of the time it will stuck around 8X% but once it did stuck at 99% which I thought sudah ok but it end up with the same error message cry.gif

Among the approach I tried:
1. Boot into recovery mode but it will still directly goes to the Update screen and stuck at 8X% again. (~ 10 attempts)
2. Swap with another 2.5 120GB HDD from another PS3, it will boot into safe mode but PS3 says I do not have the correct firmware (4.31 or above). (2 attempts)
3.1 I formatted my 2.5 120GB HDD to FAT32 using
3.2 Prepared another external harddisk with FAT32 and put the downloaded 4.46 Update file (PS3UPDAT.PUP) in \PS3\Update\ folder.
3.3 I boot up and press Select and Start 5 second according to on screen instruction to format my 120GB HDD in PS3.
3.4 reboot of PS3, and I am being prompt with the user agreement for updating the firmware and have to choose agree, then the update System Firmware starts again.
3.5 This time, the update process failed at 40%  shocking.gif !! making less progress then before.

The thing I not yet / not dare to try:
1. Format the 320GB hard disk to FAT32 and try to update using the external hard disk.
2. Open up and swap parts with another PS3 I have.
3. Send to sony centre  doh.gif

Any suggestion from the forumers?
*
change the hdd? oops u already changed the hdd still error hmm..

if your ps3 still in warranty, just send to service centre.. smile.gif
