Okay so my launch ps3 got the ylod back in august and just got a slim ps3 for christmas. Heres the deal, I used a USB to copy all of my game saves back in August and put them on my PC. Today I go use the USB to take those game save files and try to put them on the new ps3. The problem is that nothing is showing up when I go under saved data utility for ps3, it will read the usb but doesnt show any files. Anyone have any idea how to assist me in my little issue? Thanks

If I remember correctly, all you have to do is create a folder tittle it "PS3" and put the saves in that folder. Then the slim will find them. Or press triangle
