Hi, I still have a 40GB HDD PS3 and I am planning to upgrade to a larger one (160GB). But I bought a couple of things like the LBP MGS Level pack and I already shared it with 4 of my friends. I am going to back up all my info on an external and restore back to my new HDD when I get it. Will my LBP dlc still be there? As well as my trophies and game utility data? I don't want to redownload the big update from CoDWaW also. =/

no you're gonna have to re-download that stuff... trophies are on the Sony servers so those will be there when you log in..

when i upgraded from 60gb to 300gb everything that was on my PS3 before was there when i re-imported it into the new drive. You shouldn't have to download again.

awesome, so II don't have to buy it again? sweet. also, I reformatted my HDD once, because I had to troubleshoot for something, but when I logged back on to my PSN, all my trophies were gone =/. so does the trophies save on your psn account, the hdd, or the servers?

If you do a "back up" all the info will be there once you restore it.

you won't have to buy it again.. because its linked to your PSN ID and your Mac Address (which is locked and different for each PS3) trophies are online, and not stored on the console...

Well its stored on all the above. When you sign in to psn and go to look at your trophies it should take a sec to update the server. So as long as you have done that after your most recent trophy you should be fine.

i'm pretty sure everything will be the same. Trophies are synced into your PSN account so theres no way for you to lose that unless you delete your account.
