**PS3 Game Saves – Transferring Save File from PC to PS3

1) How/Where do i download game saves for PS3 games (Such as WWE  Smackdown vs RAW 2010)?

- Gamefaqs provide a large selection of game saves for us. Simply go under ‘Game Saves’ for the game you want and download the ‘Save Game File’ (which is a zip file).

2) What do i do with the zip file ?

- Unzip the file
- Create new folder (name it PS3) in your USB Flash Drive.
- Create another folder inside the PS3 folder, name it ‘SAVEDATA’

In most cases, the file you unzip would be a folder named something like this ‘BCUS98103′. DO NOT rename it.

- Drag the folder into PS3/SAVEDATA

3) What’s next?

- Turn on your PS3
- Plug your USB stick into the USB slot on your PS3
- Under Game > Saved Data Unity, ‘USB Device’ should appear on the top, select that
- Hit triangle when you see the save on your USB stick, select ‘Copy’
