Swapping Downloaded PS3 stuff to another PS3

[ridgeracer]

Right, i just took delivery of a new PS3 Slim 160gb.

Im gonna be looking to shift my current 40gb PS3 but I have some games I have downloaded from the PSN Store (The Last Guy).

Do I have to buy this again or can I re-download it or do I have to swap it via USB stick etc.

I was hoping I could just re download like you can on Xbox 360?

Cheers
Adam

If you have both your PS3's setup on your home network you can transfer everything from the Backup menu in the PS3 settings. Not sure of the details as I replaced my HD, but the setting was there.

Anything copy protected gets moved, rather than copied. E.g some game saves and psn purchases.

Cheers mate

Will try this when I get home

Only just picked it up and then remembered about The Last Guy on my HD

Remember to de-activate your old PS3 from all your accounts otherwise you'll have wasted one of your 5 slots.

Also, when you put your PSN account on your new PS3 then in the PS Store there's a downloads section. Everythign you ever downloaded is int here and can be re-downloaded including games you paid for.
