He stated that maybe the offline saves came from an older or newer firmware than mine and that too wouldn't work. How in the world is all this stuff a factor? I don't know what to believe now. I just know I can't copy any offline content to the PS3 from the "save data utility". It's totally amazing to me! I can copy photos in .PNG format from the "Photo" tab so it's not an issue with the entire XBM menu. I don't know what to do next here. Edit: I just tried using the "Game Data Utility" as well. I can't "copy" or "delete" anything from there either. It does the exact same thing as from the "save data utility". This is where the game updates/patches are installed. I was told you could "delete" or remove these patches. I can't do anything with them from here either. What in the heck is going on guys? I don't understand these problems. Sony didn't give me any more help either. I have now tried 3 different MLB 10 The Show franchise saves and none of them will work but that goes for any offline saves. This is so puzzling to me. The PS3 works just fine. It's just these problems coming up from XBM. No ability to "copy" or "delete" from certain areas of XBM. What the heck? Does firmware versions have anything at all to do with this?

Tony.....is this PS3 fairly new?
Do you think you could exchange it for a different one?
The guy you got on support line sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about.
There is no way that is the issue that you are having.
This one is starting to pi$$ ME off!

It's not new for sure. This is a 40GB model that was bought back in July of 2008. I have replaced the HDD with a 250GB one. I have no reason to buy a newer one really. This one works good other than my issue and has worked great since I got it too.

I had never tried copying anything from the XBM before. This certainly acts like something is blocking me from copying anything. Almost like a copyright thing but I don't see that being my problem. There are certain games that have copyright protection but most game saves don't have it.

Why can I copy .PNG files from the "Photo" tab but not have the copy option from the "save data utility"? Also, I can't delete my game patches/updates from the "Game Data Utility" either.

It's weird! .PNG files don't have any protection to block me but regular game saves could. This would lead you to believe it is copyright protection but this game(The Show) or most others don't have it. I'm baffled!

I am with Knight on this. It is starting to get on my nerves as well. Not you, but what is happening to you. This is definitely a super rare issue. I will try calling Monday morning to Sony on your behalf as well. And explain about not being able to delete the Game Data.

There is definitely something wrong with your XMB. And I wonder if it has something to do with a slight corruption from the back up and restore to a new HDD.

Have you tried doing this before with the new HDD installed? Or this is the first time since the new HDD that yo are trying this?

The 250GB HDD was a fresh install. I didn't transfer anything over from the 40GB. It was freshly placed into the PS3 and I didn't copy anything over to it. There was no backup and restore used.

This was the first time I'd tried to use the XBM for copying offline saves to the PS3. Even with the 40GB HDD I had never tried it before. XBM seems to be corrupted in some way. I don't know what else it could be here. I'm grasping at straws trying to get this figured out.

None of the "safe mode" options did anything for me either. If there's issues with XBM there's an option to restore it back to default settings. I tried that with no luck!

The explanation from the Sony rep was a joke. To blame it on copyright when the saves I'm using aren't copyright protected is ridiculous. I don't know about his other explanation in matching firmwares. Why would it matter what firmware version was used when making the save? I honestly don't know what's happening but I'd like to get it resolved. Geez!

I've been following this too.

I'm upset just reading through it.

This may be a lame-brained suggestion, as I know nothing about this stuff. But, do you have access to a friend's or relative's PS3?

One that you could search through the settings on, and try to duplicate on your faulty one.

That, and see what you can and cannot copy on a functioning PS3.

Hey...it could at least save you time on the Sony phone-call troubleshooting process (which I'm sure they walk you through every time you call to make sure that the problem isn't you).

That copyright protected stuff from them is complete garbage. I've downloaded and copied several rosters and franchise files.

Almost everything in your game saves should have a "copy" option, as I'm sure you already know.This also goes for files on your flash-drive.

Well, good luck man. I'm pulling for you.

Perhaps something got screwed up in the new HDD install?

I agree partially. If it is already on his flash drive that he downloaded, then it should work. But there are some games where you can not copy any of the saves at all off the PS3. Which is really annoying. And I had to write them down for when I do the back up and restore to the new HDD this week.

By him not being able to even delete "Game Data" either, that is exactly what I was thinking.

Calling Sony now though, and lets see what they have to say (not holding my breath haha).

Are you referring to XBM itself or the games installed? I'm beginning to think it's some corrupted file or even a file has went missing. It looks like doing a complete reformat is coming for me. Not what I wanted to do though. Geez!
