There was a patch recently to allow savegame imports. Did you install it?

You can't download a patch if you're not connected to the internet.

I had the exact same problem and ended up calling EA support on the phone to get a direct answer. It took a long while but the guy was really nice and he tried helping me out by deleting the ME2 game data and reinstalling it when you launch ME2 (like when you first play it). It didn't work and he did some more digging and apparently since the original Mass Effect was made for the 360, it's more of a "copy" to PS3 and the option to import is misleading cause it doesn't come with that yet for PS3....since the original was just released for PS3, the guy said they're probably gonna release a patch soon to try to fix it

I have downloaded the patch, and the option to import now exists; but, ME2 does not see any ME saves to import. I have finished an ME playthrough, and the game data is seen in my PS3 general console. Is there something else I need to do?

I have the same issue. When I try to import the character from ME1 it shows a blank rectangle with no selectable options.

 

I have an odd setup though: my ME1 is the downloadable version from the Portuguese (European) PS Store, whist the ME2 disc is Region 1 (USA).

I'm not sure if this is the issue, as I was able to import my ME2 character onto my ME3 disc and they were from different regions too.

 

 

My question here is: are your ME1 and ME2 from the same region?

My ME2 and ME3 maybe UK region, while I downloaded ME from the PSN store in the US.

Already finished the game.

 

Want to import my save file to Mass Effect 2, on my US account. I have the disc based game, from UK (a gift). Works fine on my PS3.
