[PS3] How to transfer ME1 Shepard to ME2?

I purchased the Mass Effect PS3 Trilogy when it was released. I have just had the pleasure of beating the first Mass Effect. When I press the "Resume" option in ME1, I reload to a save before a fi...

    Hi everyone,

    I added the [PS3] tag to the title to make the platform more visible for everyone.

    Players on PS3 have to patch their ME2 game in order to transfer the save. Just connect to the PSN and the patch should download automatically.

    The reason for this: ME1 is new on PS3, the port was made for the launch of the Trilogy. Prior to that ME2 on PS3 had no option to import saves, it only had Mass Effect: Genesis as a downloadable interactive backstory comic produced by Dark Horse Comics (the comic was later made available for PC and Xbox too).

    Now that we have ME1 on PS3 as well, you have to patch your ME2 to "get rid" of the comic and get the choice to import your save instead.

    Hope that helps!

    I have ME1 2 and 3 but I bought it from the PSN and 2 and 3 I have the disk version. Does anyone know if this will make a difference?

      I bought ME1 as a download from the PSN store. I subseuqently finished ME1, then bought ME Trilogy on disc.

      I can confirm that ME2 disc from the Trilogy is not seeing my ME1 saves. It has the menu option for import from ME1 but the list is blank when selected.

      Quite disappointing.

    EA hi. Your solution to this prolem does not help, does not see ME2 saves ME1, although the patch was installed, if there is any solutions to this problem, i ask you to help.

    It is 2016. I can confirm that the patch that is supposed to 'fix everything' for the PS3 does not work. No matter what I try (and I have been searching all the forums for a full YEAR and tried EVERYTHING), all I see when I select the "Import ME1 Character" option is a blank box, even though I have finished the first Mass Effect multiple times, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. Please, PLEASE, all I want to do is to play this game. With MY character. Not with the default Renegade. EA, fix it.

    Y'all should have fixed this problem by now...... Look how long these games have been out, and for as much money as we pay for these games they should work right the first time we try them (with No Hassles)...... it's false advertising to say we can transfer our ME1 Shepard to ME2 and it don't when we try it........ I bought the ME Trilogy when it was released and it has never transfered my ME1 Shepard to ME2....... I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this "wrong" should be compensated just for the hassle of many pointless hours trying to get it to work I for one just want it to work properly with "NO HASSLES!!!!!" PEASE EA DO US ALL "RIGHT" ALREADY STOP PLAYING AROUNAROUND!!!!!
