Transferring saved data on a PS3

Is there a way to transfer saved games from one PS3 to another? I started playing GTA4 on my dads PS and I also just bought a PS3 and GTA. Rather than starting completely over can it be transferred to the drive on my PS3?

You can transfer it through a flash drive.

Be sure to copy your profile and whatever saves you want (maybe just the latest save) to the flash drive. First start up the game on your PS3 so it can install and create its save section. Be sure to connect and get the network patch too. Then after that's done, exit out of the game and transfer over your profile and game save(s) from the flash drive, overwriting the data (the game will create a new profile and save file, and you want to replace that with your save data).
