How to Make Savegame Work for My PS3 Account

If you own both a PS3 and a PSP and have the same game for each console, you have the ability to transfer the PSP̵7;s save data for the game over to your PS3. This makes it possible for you to resume playing the game on your PS3 at the point where you left off on your PSP. To make this work properly, you must own the same version of the game for both the PS3 and the PSP, and you also need to have a PSP USB cable.

Things You'll Need

PSP USB cable (included with new PSP systems) or standard mini-USB cable

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off both the PS3 and the PSP and insert the mini-USB end of your PSP USB cable into the mini-USB port on your PSP. Insert the other end of the cable into a free USB port on your PS3.
- 2
  Turn on your PS3 and PSP and go to the ̶0;Game̶1; menu on your PS3. From there, select the ̶0;Saved Data Utility (minis/PSP)̶1; option.
- 3
  Scroll though the list of PSP game saves and press the triangle button to select the saved game you want to transfer to your PS3. Click on the ̶0;Copy̶1; option to transfer it to your PS3 account.
- 4
  Disconnect your PSP from your PS3 when the copy process completes, then insert the game disc (for the game save you just transferred) into your PS3. Select the transferred game save when prompted to use the PSP save on your PS3 account.
