    How is it that I can replay my favorite games, without loosing all my previous data? Everytime I go to start a new game, like in Heavenly Sword, It wants to delete my previous save data. How come I can't just make a new file? I don't want to loose everything I have to play again. All I can think to do is make a new user on my ps3 and play it again under that one. It doesn't make much sense to me. Any thoughts?

    Create a new user, and just play under that account. Every user uses separate save files.

    Thats not a 'ps3 feature' thats, the game will either allow seperate profiles and therefore multiple saves, or - the game will not allow you to have seperate profiles, it seems like HS is one of those games

    You could also, instead of creating a new account, make a backup of your older save file, delete the one from the ps3 and play a new game. Then, when you feel you'll no longer play it, put your save back into the ps3.
