Only if all of the game saves are not copy protected. For those that are you will need to backup to a external HDD and restore on the other PS3.

The game saves are automatically saved on HHD. You have to copy and paste them every time you want to transfer them to the other PS3.

I have not done it, but try to check other forums.

But I think that is a "can do" if you have external harddrive. And plug it in..

yea, depends on how large the flash drive is though. i bought a 16 gig one a year or so ago for $40.00. It currently has all my game saves and installs from my old 40 gig as well as about 5 movies and 15 themes that i downloaded onto it. if you got an adequate size drive then it shouldnt be a prob whatsoever.
