hi guys, last night my ps3 crashed right in the middle of playing lbp2. after the ps3 restarted and since it will not read any game, dvd or blu-ray discs what so-ever. so i dont have a profile backup of my lbp 2. the game has all the data on the ps3 harddrive obviously but u cannot transfer the data to a flash drive without doing it in the game it seems. i can see the game data under the games > "game data utility". there is a profile, and game data there. so anyway i bought a new ps3 today, and using the "data transfer utility" under settings > system settings i transfered my whole ps3 data to my new one so its exactly the same as the old. only problem is wen i load the game into it starts from the very begging, like it was on day one of release. i can import my lbp1 profile if i want. but all my progress in story, all the unlocks i earned, and most importantly the many hours i spent on the levels i was building isnt in the game. even though the data is there on the ps3 harddrive. what can i do! real desperate here to get back to where i was, i cud cope with redoing the story, but its my levels on my moon i want and the goodies i used to make them. i guess its something to do with the way lbp profile backing up is managed, i know they changed it about a year ago in a patch also, but come on my data is here, just need to detect it!! i have already tried pressing start in my pod, im importing profile through the settings options, but only comes up with the lbp1 profiles i guess its because i dint backup my lbp2 profile! please help, real time of deperation here!

TBH I don't think there is anything you can do, unless you fix the disk drive in the broken system but that would be costly.

You can switch out the hard drive in the PS3, so, why not take the one from the broken one, and put it in the new one. I think it voids your warranty though. For clarification, google it.

Switching hard drives doesn't void warranty however for a HDD to work in a new playstation it needs to be formatted.

Even if there is a way to recover game save data from a drive used in a PS3, which I doubt, I can guarantee it will not be cheap.
