Transfer game saves from old ps3 to new ps3

Then you'll transfer everything through ethernet cable, and the content will be erased. You mean I can save all my hard worked game save files and game data?? Also, how would I resurrect the old ps3? It's not working anymore after all.

The answer is yes, unless you can't get your old PS3 to start up again. I lost mine a couple months ago and was furious when I figured out I needed the old unit to transfer my data.

Unfortunately my PS3 was completely dead. I don't know if I could have reflowed the solder or not, but I threw it out before I figured that out. You're probably going to need to start all over on everything. I have my most important saves at least least the one si could copy onto a usb drive. HoBoS 8 years ago 8. Its a slight hassle to ship a console, but I found it worthwhile just for my save data.

I havent used that old PS3 since transferring to my new one, buts it is nice to know that it is there. If it's not a hard drive problem, i think you can remove the HDD of your old ps3 and put it in the new ps3.

HoBoS 8 years ago You have to transfer from the old PS3 to the new one if you want to keep the data, meaning your only choice is to repair the YLOD first.

More topics from this board If you connect your PS3 to a USB, you can go into settings and there is an option to transfer all data to the drive.

You can then take it to another ps3 and input it into that and then just go into the same place in settings again and re-transfer your data. This also happened to me too, i went to a consoles store and got my old ps3 fixed and i transferred all my data over and kept my new data, when you save the data it gives you the option to overwrite.

I was thinking maybe I could clone the hard drive, but I don't have a spare hard drive to do it on. I do however have a 1 TB external hard drive. Would it be possible to clone it on the external? Also, how exactly would i do it? And, are there any alternative methods?

No, you can't clone the external. But if you have a USB hard drive, you can copy it onto there, and put it into your new ps3.
