Hello all, my ps3 is currently dying and im only getting about 20 min playtime before it shuts down. Ive searched under "car delivery" "delivery" and "gifting" and cant find my answer. Im gonna try and send cars to myself thru alt accounts to make my grind easier when I get my new ps3 back as im 34/38 level but my ps3 will be gone for 2-3 weeks as im trading it in on a new one and my question is this.

1. How long will cars sent stay for delivery before or if they are gone? For example, if I send myself a car today but dont log back on for lets say 3 weeks will it be there so I can receive it?

Im just not certain if there is a timeframe that one has to receive the car.
Thanks in advance to all who may help

I have backed my game save on usb and my pc for safekeeping. However I was and am under the impression from reading posts on here that I will be unable to use this on a new ps3 without manually transferring data via the data transfer utility. Im sending my ps3 back to sony and they are sending me a new one so I cant transfer. If the info is simply tied to my psn and it will let me use it then im golden but im not sure if I can do that or not.

You can use it on a New PS3, my cousin just did this yesterday when his old PS3 died.

You can use it on a new PS3 as long as you use the same PSN account.

It's true bud, these guys aren't messing with you. Backup save file via USB, copy onto new PS3. Good luck with the new purchase !

Here is your solution: http://www.consolerepaironline.com/Playstation Slim power problem.html

also, in case you own a jailbroken ps3 format it, keep the latest official firmware, and keep it plugged in (the power cord). It might be too late for your ps3 but it worked for me.

In any case you can follow the instructions in the video to fix it yourself
 
I regularly move my save between two ps3s so yes it does work. I cant beleive you were gonna send it car by car...and even then you dont keep none of your progress.
 
I've got three ps3's and often move my save to have bob race over night or when I want to play in a different room. You can move any save for any game via usb flash drive or external hd.

wow - why don't you give 2 away to a couple poor kids that don't even know what a PS3 is.
 
I should've bought 3 PS3s instead of a XBOX 360, Wii, PSP, DS, Gameboy Advance, and whatever other gaming systems I have purchased since the PS3 came out! Would've been well worth it in my opinion. Back on topic, the OP should be fine if he has backed up his files properly with a USB or external hard drive. Good luck and let us know what happens.

would have kept the 360 but not the others. should work as long as you use the same gamer tag as the save.

I will indeed. Sony offered a trade in where I send mine back and for $99 that includes shipping and handling they are gonna send me a 120 gb slim back. It is a refurb but that doesnt worry me as the refurb I currently have has lasted for over 4 years. Would have liked to buy a brand new one but the $99 option was better for me financially. The disadvantage of the slim is I guess its not backwards compatible but I do not play old games so that is of no concern. Thanks to all who have given help in this thread. Will update accordingly as to my saved game.
