Here's the situation at hand.

We have 3G wireless internet at home and ive only just got around to getting the PS3 onto the net using a cross over cable to the laptop. So net now works and im excited, big kev style! but here is the issue.

The PS3 is my fiances and it seems that before we moved in together a friend of hers has put in his PSN details attached to the only user id on the system. To make it easier i will call it User1. I had no idea the git had done this so ive been playing away saving ect on User1 only to find im unable to use my own PSN ID to log in with this user. It says its restricted.

So i create a new user, lets call it User2 but the issue is i cant get to any of the saves from the old User1.

Now is there a way to access these saves. I know you can copy them but Demon's Souls, the one im most concerned about (150+ hours played), is copy protected. Or is there a way into tricking User1 into signing in with my PSN ID and not the old one?

Or have i lost all my demons souls stuff because its copy protected?

I'm pretty sure saves are PSN ID based, so the chances of you being able to transfer the save games to another PSN ID is minimal at best. ESPECIALLY with trophy enabled games. Same way Microsoft since their achievements set in with the 360, saves are locked to gamertags. If they werent, anyone could just use other peoples saved games to rack up trophies or achievements so it is sort of understandable.

Yeah they are. You cant get other users saves etc due to achievements.

Edit: The only time I would use another ID was for COD MW games and Killzone etc. Having a name like SHOULD_HAVE_DUCKED or NOOB PWNER just is the icing on the cake IMO.

Thanks! that is what i thought. Its just a shame that i loose the save but not much i can do about it. Just have to remember it for the future.
