[QUOTE="cammanchee, post: 130084, member: 2790"] Hello guys, as some of you may have seen in a previous post under the when are packs 19 and 20 coming, my PS3 died on me after 8 years of service (YLOD, original 20gb). I have found a place that can repair it for a pretty resonable price, including shipping to and from as I live about 230 - 240 miles away from the repair shop. Anyways, I do have a question about one thing though. I have thought about putting in a bigger hard drive, 100 - 250 gb drive in my PS3 for awhile and since I would be sending it in for repair, thought this may be the perfect time to do it. My question is: Provided the information has not been corupted, which I'm 99 percent sure has not been, is it possible to have the TPA game and specifically the game save information transfered from my old hard drive to a new one? More specifically, could this be done without using the PS3 data transfer utility option? If I'm not mistaken, isn't it is pretty much impossible to do with copy-protected games? I was wondering if the TPA information is copy-protected because if the above was possible, I would consider getting a little bigger drive for my PS3 and having the information transfered as I have a big portion of the wizard goals accomplished, including 3 million and Genie which I would hate to try and replicate. If it is not possible, then obviously I would just stick with my original hard drive and be happy. Thank you guys ahead of time for any info you can provide to me.
