    Hello
    Is there any way to change the user of a save game file i created on a different ps3?
    Over Christmas I was home from university and I got the new fallout, I hadn't brought back my ps3 so I was using my nieces as it was in my room anyway. I put the save game file on a usb and took it back with me to uni but I had a bit of a shock when I loaded the game up and it says I cant save any progress as it was created on a different users name. Is there anything I can do? :/

    Cheers

    Nope. That's because of the trophy integration. You should have signed up as yourself when you tried to play the game.

    sh!t. well if I knew it was going to be like that then I would have but I assumed it would be like ps2's were a usb is almost like a memory stick. :( so there is nothing I can do to copy across a locked save game then and have it working?

    Try to create a user on your ps3 with the same name as the one on your nieces' or log in with their psn ID. That might work.
