Switching PS3's?

OK, so my cousin isnt the sharpest tool in the box. Last week he bought an 80gb Ps3. However he quickly found out he couldnt play San Andreas on it. Now my cousin asked me would i like to swap my 2 year old 60gb ps3 (which is currently being repaired after incurring the YLOD) for his brand new 80gb. I think this is a pretty good deal for me and he thinks it is a good deal for him also. But if i swith my ps3 with his will i lose my PSN settings and my other ps3 setting including my user profile?? is there anyway to go around this?

Ya i know thats what i was thinking..but do you think this is a good opportunity for me to offload my possibly faulty ps3 for a brand spankin new one with a warranty??

didn't you say its getting repaired? so really you would have a freshly refurbed 60 gig ps3, i wouldn't do it because you don't know what ps2 games you will want to play later on.

i sold an 80 gig ps3 that i got brand new for a used 60 gig.

True but im also adding a warranty and taking away a console with a faukty history.

I would go for the trade. I bought a 80 GB after my 60 GB suffered an YLOD and I'm not regretting it. The 80GB is more silent both when playing games and watching movies.

In Sweden they don't even repair it. They switch it to a new 60 GB for the price that'll almost give you a new 80 GB. I had mine repaired at an independent shop but I sure don't trust it. I'm going to sell it.

My friend told me that if your ps3 gets the YLOD and you repair it will die again in a few months..Anybody know if his is true?MADDEN-07

I had my 80gb repaired, it never broke on me, and it's been over 4 months now.... actually they sent me a new PS3.

Don't trade it.
