How to Moderate PS3 Game Saves With USB

The PlayStation 3 allows you to move game save files from one console to another. You can back up the data online using your PlayStation Network account, but if you don't have Internet access to your PS3, you can use a USB drive instead. This feature is useful if you purchase a new PS3 or replace the hard drive in your existing console. You can also use it to import save game files from other players.
