Question: If I delete my Game Data, do I loose my purchased DLC content?

I have a 40GB PS3 and had the habit of deleting Game Data of games I'm done and won't be playing for quite a while, to install new games.

But recently I've been getting DLC add-ons. And those seem to be a patch or update on Game Data. So I'm reluctant to delete those.

I know you can re-download those purchased content, but I've heard players saying there's a 5 times max limit for re-downloading, so I want to save those for times when and if my PS3 dies and I need to move to a new machine.

Is there a way to backup those purchases? Backing up the whole PS3 won't make sense because if I retrieve the old games + DLC, I loose my new games + DLC.

Any solution?

You can save your game data onto a memory stick.

The 5-times-limit isn't a DL limit but a PS3s you can dl them to limit. That said you can DL a purchase as many times as you want to as long as you don't do it on more than 5 different Ps3s

You can download them again.chapnzaba
