I really don't know. But I think you go to create another user, then input the same info. you had before, with the same username and password...

Sign up for PSN again and instead of choosing new account, choose "pre-existing account". You will be able to DL all your games again.

What jak said.

Yeah, that would suck if you couldn't keep your account, I've spent a lot of money in that store. I've switched drives out a few times and know this routine well, just put in a user account then go to sign up for PSN and choose pre existing account.

This happened to me about 2 months ago. I backed up my game saves onto a memory stick just so I wouldn't lose them. When I got my PS3 back it still had everything on the HDD. I think Sony will only replace/repair the BDD and sent it back.
