I sign out of my PS3 account every time I turn off my system. If my PS3 were to be stolen, and I were to buy another one, could I sign in on the new one and still have all my trophy info? Just curious.

Trophies are tied to your PSN account, not the machine itself, so yes. No thieving pigs can take trophies away.

If you sync your trophies often then you won't have a problem. Just use your existing online id in your new console and you're set to go.

I sign off my PS3 account before I turn off my system, so a potential thief wouldn't be able to access it.

It signs off when you switch it off anyway... And if it is set to sign in automatically then a thief has no problem signing in

If you have your credit card stolen, does that mean you have lost all your money? unless if you have your Password stolen, that does mean you have lost all your money. Credit Card = PS3 Money = PSN password
