I purchased my Playstation used and I have forgotten to do a complete system restore.
I have been exclusively playing GT5 offline for the past couple of weeks. I have reached 70% game completion. I tried to play online yesterday and it prompted me "do you want to sign in?". Well obviously I have not created a PSN Id and password, so I'm assuming that the game is still linked to the previous owner.
Since I do not know his PSN id (e-mail address) and password it is impossible for me to log in my current GT5 game.
...so I created a new used and opened my PSN id but, when I started GT5 it allowed me to log and play online but it did NOT load the previous game data
I then proceeded to copy the 70% game data to my new user but when GT5 was started it prompted "you cannot use the data as it belongs to someone else's e-mail".

So now I'm thinking about saving the 70% game data to an external hard drive...doing a complete system restore...starting a new user (mine)...and finally uploading the 70% game data from the external hard drive. Would this work or would this 70% game data still be linked to the PO ?
Has anybody has experienced this particular situation or has a solution/idea?
Thanks in advance guys and sorry for the long post.
Frustrated.
