I was wondering if you can have multiple game saves of the same game? I share my PS3 with my brother and I was playing Heavenly Sword and he was playing MGS4, but now I want to play it aswell, but it doesn't look like you can have multiple saves. I thought it would have been like the PSP-any ideas?

I don't want to create a new user though-is there any other way?
And if I have to create a new user, can I rename my current one and then transfer saves between the 2?

Yes, you can rename your current user under "Users".
Have the name selected, Triangle, Information. Edit the name from there.

You can transfer game saves between two users (without the need of a USB flash stick).
Go under Game>Save Data Utility (is that what it's called? I'm doing this from memory), have a game save file highlighted, Triangle, Copy. Then select the User name to copy the game save to.

Alright-thanks for your help everyone.

If you have two users set up on your PS3, everytime you start it up the PS3 will ask you which username to log in as.

If you have more than two users, you can set one to auto-login. Think it's login first, highlight user, Triangle, Auto Sign-in from memory. The PS3 will always login into that username everytime the PS3's turned on.

Hope that helps. Hope I explained it clearly enough =/
