Might be a bit off topic but here goes. If i back up my data onto a 500gb external hd then change my internal hdd for something a bit bigger then restore the data off the external hd would i get everything back. like my downloads, updates (game and ps3), users and their accounts on the ps3 etc? many thanks to anyone who can help me out here and if anyone knows a link on youtube to someone doing a guide to change their hdd it would be much appreciated(im fed up with being rick rocked lol)

You will get all your saved game information and game data back. You will have to re-download any psn games that you have purchased. You will need to do a system update to current version bc you have to format the new hdd. The psn account info is online and is saved on the servers. NOT your ps3 (like trophies).

I have done the very same process before too when I upgraded. So I know. Let me know if you need anymore help.
