As I aired grievances about a while back on the Angst Thread, my PS3 experienced a bizarre, unprovoked meltdown about a month ago that necessitated a complete system restore. To my relief, all save data was intact on the main hard drive (and swiftly backed up, with the exception of the mysteriously uncopyable Loco Roco Cocoreccho) but profiles, internet accounts, system settings, etc. were totally gone. As such, my LittleBigPlanet data fell into a sort of limbo--it was unscathed, but my DLC was locked and I was warned that Trophies would no longer be valid unless I erased my save data, apparently because, since there was no longer any profile data, it figured I was trying to steal someone else's game progress or something. Anyway, per advice collectively gathered online from others who had had this problem (specifically, as a result of some glitch or "feature" that no one will fix, trophy data being invalidated by a deleted PSN account, though not necessarily through a system restore), I backed up the save data and erased the game data, to try using the save data again at a later date. Thoroughly ****ed-off, I delayed this for some time.
So, today, with time on my hands, I decided to man up and futz around with what I could in hopes of getting things working again. In goes the disc, game data is reinstalled... and lo and behold, my previously working save data is allegedly corrupted, with the only recourse being a futile "retry" or a complete erasure of the data. Apparently, either DLC + save data - game data = DOES NOT COMPUTE, or even more invisible bullcrap went down inside my Sony George Foreman between July and sixty minutes ago. The point is, I've got about half a year's worth of gameplay, half the game's Trophies, a handful of custom levels, and $10+ worth of DLC on the line and I'm in no mood to ring up tech support to gab with an Indian and/or robot. Help and I will be eternally in your debt.
