ok, so here's the story...back in march of 2007 i bought a 60gb ps3 and have never had any problems with it up until now. it has stopped reading blu-ray games and movies but still reads dvds, cds, and ps2 games. i know that it is an easy fix with just buying a new blu-ray drive, but rather than run the risk of replacing it and then finding something else wrong with it, i plan on buying a new 160gb slim ps3 all together.

so my questions lie with the data transfer utility in general here...now i know how to do it, but i am just unaware of what specifically gets transferred.

1. what exactly gets transferred over to the new ps3? (user list? saved data? game data? trophies? psn games? pictures? music? videos? ect.)

2. i have game shared with a few friends and they have game shared with me...will things like call of duty map packs, or complete games that i have downloaded from friends be transferred over in save data, or will i have to re-download through the psn store?

3. i would just like to reiterate that i have multiple accounts to go along with the accounts i have from friends sharing games with me in my users list. for most of these i have since forgotten both email addresses and passwords for these accounts. so i was wondering if they get transferred over as saved passwords and email addresses like they are presently, or would i have to recall them all from memory?


i would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this subject, and if you have any other information to share that i have overlooked, please feel free to let me know. thank you.

(by the way, i realize that the psn is down currently and i cannot complete this operation until it is fully operational again. also the psn being down has no impact on why my ps3 isn't functional. thanks again.)
