You can copy the file to a USB (I've copied mine) but I'm not sure about playing on another PS3. My guess would be at the very least you'd have to be logged in under the same PSN name. Still not sure if that would work though.

It is possible. I did it over the holiday when I traveled to visit family.

There are a couple of things you'll want to check and make sure you do first:

1) The console of the original save file - Sign into your PSN account with the user that contains the save.

2) Copy the save file to your usb device

3) On the new console either create a new user or sign in to your PSN account (same from the old console).

4) Load the saves onto the new system from the storage device.

Steps 1 and 3 are MAJOR. The game will always let you load the transferred save files, but if it cannot make a PSN account association (does this automatically) with the saves it will not let you save anymore.
