    any chance you can ask one of your ps3 developers how i can recover that (corrupted ?) file ?

    when i went in to backup my save games,i see that you guys have disabled manual (non-playstation plus) backups for both mass effect 2 and 3 what's up with that? i shouldn't have to pay a monthly ransom payment to backup save games
