No. As soon as you put your old HDD into the new PS3 it’ll tell you it needs to be formatted.

Does anybody think that, just maybe, this guy was being sarcastic?

@Tridon
When you lend one of your retail games out there’s still only one copy of the game, on the other hand if you download a PSN title onto several consoles then Sony would view that as making multiple copies. Not that I’m disagreeing with you entirely, I like to be able to play my games at my brother’s house without having to go to the hassle of bringing over one of my own PS3s.

I’ve had the same issue but it started when I picked up Uncharted 2, long before MW2 or 3.01. I think Sony are just having server issues with all the extra traffic. Both games have popular MP and a lot of people picked them up on release. I’ve had trouble accessing the PS store and I can’t get vidzone to work at all so it’s not just the syncing that’s an issue. One thing I’ve noticed though is that although I get the error code and can’t view my trophies, if my brother checks my profile on his friends list all my trophies are there so the info is being uploaded.

You originally wanted the thread deleted yet you've done more to keep it going than anyone else that's posted in it. How does that translate as any sort of win?

My house mate upgraded to a 250GB hdd and his PS3 got the YLOD a few months later. It has a lot to do with the games you play. Games that suffer from lag or badly coded ports put a lot of stress on your processor.

If you do a full system backup instead of copying things individually then locked game saves get copied as well. It also backs up your game install data which saves a lot of time later. Any photos, music or videos will get saved as well.

Quite a few contenders for that title. For every classic we've had there's been two turkeys. I think Eat Lead was the glitchiest game I played and Damnation was muck but I still managed to make it through a playthrough on each. Unlike Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge which only sparked my interest when they were pissing me off. Infamous has been mentioned here a couple of times but I think rather than being a genuinely bad game it was just very ordinary and didn't come close to the hype. For me the absolute worst game of 08/09 was Noby Noby boy. I know it's only a psn title but after staring at it for forty minutes I had to turn it off because the frustration was actually giving me a physical pain in my chest.
