I couldn't care less about trophies and I don't know why it should be a big deal. I prefer getting the ones that I'm willing to do rather than trying to achieve the complete chart. Your IRL peen will not be affected by a considerable lost of length in your E-peen.
Let's have plain old basic fun.
Oh crap, that sucks. Haven't had that happen to me except for losing my savefile on Skies of Arcadia (32 hours in) because my little cousin just HAD to save her ghost data on the memory card.
Dammit, now I'm sad. :(
Hope they can help you in some way. Maybe unlocking the account or something. Tell us how it goes!

Normally I'd agree, but trophies are clearly this dude's jam. He's not just going for random bronzes, but platinums. He posted his PSN ID in the forums, see:
BiggyP, I feel your pain.

I can completely understand that he enjoys getting those trophies but I don't think it should stop him from continuing to play. You had them that doesn't mean everybody will deny that you as person...
damn BiggyP, that sucks. Me honestly I don't care for trophies but it shows that you do have a very good collection of them. If I were you id send Sony a email about this problem, let them know you have a memory card with the saved files to see if that helps, and ask them to try their best to restore your trophies.
And if they don't then tell them this is not good and you are going to raise blogger hell on destructoid, then they will show up in your front door with Pina Coladas and dancing Hawaiian girls along side your updated PS3 with your trophies :P

Wow really sorry to hear that. Did you use the backup feature or just copy and pasted all your game saves and data?? Would it have made a difference?? Hopefully Sony can help you out and fix the problem for you.
You have a limit of five downloads for things you purchase. If the item was downloaded five times, you've invalidated your license on that software. Read your terms of service agreement. Important information like that DOES exists in those text things people just click through.
Also, when trying to transfer data, here's an ingenuis idea, RTFM. The backup feature is built into the system to prevent clusterfucks like this. I'm not sure what Sony can do for you aside from scratch their head and say "well, it's all in the manual."
It sucks that this had to happen, but judging from the grammar in this blogpost, you're not much of a reader to begin with. I'd change that. Seriously. All of your issues could have been prevented by reading how to do something before just going ahead and doing it.

I was having fun in an achivement war with my girlfriend at one point, but after downloading last year's system update it wiped about 4000 points from her account. That really does suck to have data erased like that, especially when you've put so much effort into it.
@ Kraid he said he's not going to play what he went through to get those trophies AGAIN.
It's like putting together a really hard model, weathering it, inking it, painting it. Then it gets taken away. Your not gonna do that shit again and your gonna be hella pissed :P
I feel for you man, that really sucks.

What Dao2-SKP said.
@Sheppy
You owe the dude an apology.
His problems stem from the fact that Sony didn't give him back the same console, not because he didn't RTFM. He backed up his data properly and even made extra copies of his saves. If he had the same machine, he wouldn't have any trouble. (Perhaps even with the game sharing issue, although that's naughty and not something I'd do.)
Maybe Sony can give him his old system back, if it hasn't already been refurbished and parcelled out to some other gamer. It's worth a shot.
Also, did you miss the line where he pointed out that English isn't his first language, or are you in the habit of picking on the mistakes of non-native speakers?

maybe you should learn to read your fuckign self, he stated he's not good at it because english is not a primary language for him, I'm sure if you tried swedish or whatever they speak you'd epic fail. Second he did back it up and look at what parsley said. It is actually directly Sony's fault, while it's not cool to share what you bought with your friends it still would create a problem in the future.
MS Does it beautifully where ton's of stuff can be added to your XBL account.

DUDE dont worry all you have to do is synk your trophys with the server. Connect online and go to where it says "trophies" On the game tab of the XMB and you should be able to get all of them back, you should be fine dude. I have my friends account on my ps3 along with all Of his trophies just because I have his account info.
Okay, fair enough. It was wrong for me to jump the jumbled mess above. Get's hard to read and follow after a while.
However, it isn't wrong of me about the Backup function in the XMB. Getting a system repaired with another system does, in fact, suck. However, the backup function can be used and installed on another machine in order to bypass online verification of purchases. In fact, that's how a friend of mine transfered his EVERYTHING onto a Slim using that exact same feature. So yes, it IS something about reading the manual.
It's also something about backing up your information before sending anything with information on it in for repair.
As to the gamesharing, it is fully legal, btw. It's a standard feature on PSN and a main selling point of PSN purchases. Only a select few games disabled the feature. Safeties sake using dictates you leave a couple downloads unused in case something like this happens.
BUT, if the customer wants to bitch, he can continue to bitch. Fact of the matter is Sony's verification system is designed for 5 downloads, period. Hardware reverification is NOT in their system currently and even if Sony could repair the issue, it's not going to be an overnight fix since it would be a drastic change in how PSN purchases are verified. He can, however, pursue it how he wants.
As to losing the trophies, not sure how that was even possible to happen.

BiggyP I feel for ya man i really do. thats sucks bad, im dreading putting in my new 320gb HD in fear of losing all my trophies and saves as well, but like Morbid said im pretty sure u can just resync your trophies...as long as you synced them before you sent it in? if you do this then put in a game u had trophies on and get the easiest trophy off of it and your trophies should come back...i dont know if you have to do this with each game or not but its worth a shot, let me know if it works. Good Luck!
@Sheppy
You cannot transfer everything. It's in the manual. Some save data -- and perhaps your friend was lucky and didn't have any of this type -- is copy-protected and cannot be transferred to another system.
BiggyP did back up everything before he sent his PS3 for repair, and he also went to the extra precaution of making extra copies of his saves. His exact words:
"Before i left my ps3 to service i made a backup of the entire HDD and saved all of my savefiles to a SD-card as ive done so many times before, cause i knew there is no way in hell ill get my ps3 back in the state it is now, those fuckers are probably gonna restore the HDD etc."
BiggyP's followed exactly the same procedure as your friend, but is having trouble because some of his data is copy-protected.
Also, BiggyP hasn't lost any trophies. I see Morbid Demise has made that mistake, and he gets 0/10 for reading comprehension, too. What BiggyP's lost is the ability to use the progress he made in his old save files to get more trophies.

Thanks for support guys but seems like some people misunderstood what i ment :).
I havnt lost all my previous trophies, i just synched em up.
But what i have lost is all the progress on other games i was aiming to platinum, i have this weird fascination of getting thing to 100%, its alittle thing betwen me and my friend.
If i buy a game, i want to get as much time out of it as i can, aslong as it doesnt suck that is :).
Problem is that now when my saves are gone, so is my will to even continue to play certain games to get that glorious platinum.
Take Dead Space for example, wich i played through 3 times to get all the upgrades and the military suit etc to use on the Survivormode, all those stuff are now gone, and i have to do it again.
Rock Band 2(wich i cant even imagine how much time ive put in) has a trophy where you have to collect 100K dollars, i had like 70K and was so close, now thats gone and i have to do it over.
Its the doing over-part that really got to me. If youve ever had a game that the savefile went corrupt on or something, you know what i mean.
It really ruins it, and you dont have the energy to do it all again.
That happened to me, instead i got all my games that i was working on erased.
I can accept that some people doesnt give a shit about trophies, its not like i live for em either, but i think its really fun. Usually me and my friend sits at his or my place and spend quality time gettin em, and now i just feel slapped in the face.
Sure i can get some of em again, but that means i have to spend a redicoulus amount of time doing shit ive already done before, like inFamous running all around town gathering the 400(cant really remember the number} damn meteorite-pieces, when i had like 387. Anyone who has spent time running around for em knows that thats not something you wanna do 2 times :).
And as i said, i want to have games at 100% if i know i can do it, just cause im a neatfreak, and it looks clean and neat :).

ok gotcha lol sorry bout that....i know its kinda cheating...well not really in ur case...but why don't you just download another game save for each game? to atleast half way thru to where u were previously
I already have all my old saves(well the ones that arent locked and cant be copied to SD card), but since they are from another console, they dont work on my current.
They are locked to my previous, if i put em in now, and do what i have to do to get a trophy, i get a message telling my i aint eligable to get that trophy since this isnt the original savefile.
Not exactly in those words maybe, but it isnt doable anyway :)

I'll expect my crown in the post! ;)
Seriously, it just bugged me that there were people being rude to you even though they clearly hadn't read and understood your post properly. I can forgive their ignorance and stupidity, but there's no excuse for rudeness. And this is a week when the theme is improving gaming communities! Common courtesy folks, that's all it takes.

I just had my PS3 die after a year, it got the yellow LED while playing the MAG beta. So I don't have the option to backup my shit. I'm mega-pissed, all of those saves gone. 360's HD's are overpriced as fuck, but at least you can put it on any 360 and it'll work, Sony's method of forced formatting is some bullshit. Anyway, sorry for your loss and good luck.
This is confusing as fuck. But I just read your long comment and yeah some people didn't understand it either. I was about to say that trophies aren't stored on your PS3. They're on Sony's servers. It sucks that you can't transfer some save-files indeed. Although I would loose my mind I would also be cool with it and replay all my games again. The games are awesome otherwise you shouldn't have bought it in the first place and if you don't like the game you're not gonna replay it. I personally completed Burnout: Paradise 3 times now. I would do it a 4th time if I had to. Same goes for my other games. So yeah although it sucks it's kinda cool in a way too.
