awesome, so II don't have to buy it again? sweet. also, I reformatted my HDD once, because I had to troubleshoot for something, but when I logged back on to my PSN, all my trophies were gone =/. so does the trophies save on your psn account, the hdd, or the servers?

Hi, I still have a 40GB HDD PS3 and I am planning to upgrade to a larger one (160GB). But I bought a couple of things like the LBP MGS Level pack and I already shared it with 4 of my friends. I am going to back up all my info on an external and restore back to my new HDD when I get it. Will my LBP dlc still be there? As well as my trophies and game utility data? I don't want to redownload the big update from CoDWaW also. =/

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying a new ps3, the old 80gb or 60gb version because I want to have the backwards compatibiliity and also the superaudio cd player. Right now I currently own a 40gb version ps3. I was just wondering if I will be able to back up things that I've bought in the playstation store on an external harddrive then would I be able to load it onto the new ps3? I know that I could do that with my save files, but I don't want to be losing any money when I find out I can't restore my street fighter turbo hd on the new ps3 =/ I already spent around $30-40 buying addons and games.

thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I'm currently owning a 40gb ps3 and I want more space because 40gb is too small because I want to add a few movies and music. I did some research and I know that the ps3 is compatible with a 2.5 inches S-ATA HDD either 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm. I just have a couple more questions that I can't really find my answer to.

- Is the PS3 ONLY compatible with the SATA internal HDDs?  Can it use any other brands HDD as long as it's 2.5 inches?

- How many rpm is the HDD in the current PS3s now?

- What is recommended for the PS3? 5400rpm or 7200rpm? 7200rpm seems that it runs faster but it seems that it might cause heat and overheat.

Thanks in advance!
