Wow. Ouch. My friend had his child delete a 300hr save. The child immediatly lost his ps3, and 2, (sold, end of discussion) AND my friends ps3 is password locked out for all content. What was done was malicious and of obvious intent don't let him "get away" with it. I prefer the operant conditioniong method so.. I suggest the same passwording, and The child never gets to play again. In the words of my father, "you wanna play nintendo, go buy one! (yes i'm old) Don't fret though I'm sure people will carry you and help, not to mention you did pay for more, don't loose that.
