    So my PS3 decided to get corrupted, tried "recover file system" and now my only option is to format. I want to recover my saved games from it. Anybody know any way to do that?

    Could putting the HDD in a USB dock and plug it in another PS3 could help me? Or you use some tools on PC to copy them?

    I think the way it works is you have to do manual backups onto an external hdd so when your internal fucks up you can restore it.
    Not quite sure about the PSN+ crap, which also gives you the option to save on their servers.
    If there's a program that can copy them I'd be interested to hear about it. Pretty sure the hdd would be in some way 'locked' to your PS3 only. Let's hear what others have to say about it
    It definitely shouldn't be this hard, good work Sony!

    I have PSN+, but I did not uploaded my save games in a while. I had over 100 games on the HDD and a hundred more on discs, so managing those save games is quite a hassle.

    I was thinking of putting another HDD in it and plug this one in USB. Dunno if it works...
