Have you ever restored your PS3 to factory settings?

I want a clean slate and I have 3 years of downloads, garbage, corrupted data, and game saves I don't need and countless PSN games I don't touch. I wanna wipe my slate clean for the holidays coming up, starting with Tekken Tag 2 tomorrow. Anything I should know beforehand? I have PS+ and backed up the game saves that I have put over 50+ hours into but thats it. Thanks guys.

I'm kind of excited to have a clean slate. I just worked through my backlog and did a huge trade in on games (Best Buy is giving 100% bonus in trades BTW) also and I am down to only my favorites in my collection which have already been completed. It feels good not have a backlog anymore. I will keep my PSN name and trophies and all that of course.

Just curious if I should expect anything out of the ordinary. Thanks Gspotters.

Well for one, you're going to lose your saves unless you have the cloud storage service from PS+

It would be easier to delete a few game saves...

I would recommend just deleting the stuff you don't want. Otherwise you're going to have to sit through a bunch of installls and download the updates for your games all over again.

Definitely just delete everything you don't want, it will be much faster, restoring it to factory settings will take 3 hours, if not more.
