"Just when you thought it was safe to get a new PS3… A few months back, I bought a new PS3 to replace my launch console. If you haven't read about how transferring all my data went down, go take a look in this direction. The big complaint I had surround protected game saves and the inability to transfer them to my new PS3. I lost all of my progress in Killzone 2, Street Fighter IV, Fat Princess and others. Fast forward to yesterday and the announcement of the Transfer Utility included in firmware v3.15. Everyone thought the world had righted itself. Wrong. According to Sony Europe's James Thorpe, you still can't transfer protected game saves with the new system."
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

This looks like a great way to play.

These copy protected saves are becoming a problem.
As I've noted, Premium PSN should have a storage facility for all your game saves, linked to your PSN ID with the ability to synch when you need to, so even if you change console or it dies or something, your saves are intact.
Sony, you retards! Forget trophy cheaters, just let people back their damn saves up.
Remember the good old days where you could put your save files on a disk, bring them over to your friends house, and show them where you are in the game? Why kill that?
If it's trophy/achievement cheaters then who cares? I don't rate any gamer to their achievements or trophies. Gamerpoints or anything like that. I don't care.
just like SoulCalibur IV. don't know which other games do this but, you can copy your SCIV but if you try use it in a different account you'll simply wont be able to do so. that's much better than copyrighted saves IMO.
I mean there is no way to cheat for trophies because even though you use someone elses save you need to earn to trophy...only unlocks than and not when you load up a save. So I don't see the point of these protected saved data to be honest. It is a major problem though. For me....I have more than a 100hours in Demon's Souls and I got two PS3's. One in the living room one in the bedroom and I can't take my saved file to the bedroom because it's "protected". There is absolutely no point in these protected saves.
