Forums - Sony Discussion - is there a way to save my data just incase my ps3 does break?

I have 7 downloaded titles, a shittt load of trophies that im fond of, and some songs on my ps3 all of which i dont want to lose. Now, my ps3 is the 80gig of last christmas and im afraid that if my thing does break ill lose all my data.

sooo, is there a way to save it onto my computer?

i wish i knew but the best thing i would do is take out the hard drive, and place it in another ps3? :/



Well PS Cloud is part of SONY's Premium services which allows you to upload all ur PS3 date to some space thingy....but intill that gets here no...unless u buy a huge memory stick



You can use a USB key and copy everything you want on it (save files, musics)

Don't worry about your trophies. They are in Sony's hands (something like that)

Your games can be downloaded again if you lose them.

Dudes...there's a backup utility right in the Ps3 XMB....Hook up an external larger than your PS3 internal drive, and just back it up regularly, you'll be fine if you do that....if your Ps3 ever crashes, there's a restore utility as well to bring all the data back

Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

Cosign. And you can re-download purchaed games and add-ons up to 5 times.

Wow do NOT listen to PockySnacks! The second you take your hard drive out of the system it will be formatted. Though what can do is put everything you want on a USB key.

that's incorrect, you can download the game as many times as you like, but you can only have the game activated on 5 PS3's, after that the game you try to download on the 6th PS3 won't work untill you de-active one of the PS3's

so does that mean i can buy a game split the price with 4 friends, then put it on all our consoles? :P
