hey, as you may know my ps3 is broke again, and i was wondering if i got a new ps3, like a 80gb, could i just swap my broken ps3s HDD and put it into the new one as i really want to keep my save data?
thanks.
EDIT: i have the original 60gb ps3.

November 28, 2009 at 7:14 pm #51183kingofgames73Membernot sure im sure the ps3 auto formats a HDD when it detects a different one has been placed in it. so even though you change the hdd it will still wipe out the memory, however next time you might want to think anbout backing up ur ps3s data to a external hdd every month or so,just to be safe

cheers.
another question.
will all my online rankings and stats carry over if i go on a game on my new ps3? if so, this will save me getting my current ps3 fixed just to transfer some data onto a new ps3.

Formatting will completely wipe your HDD.

thanks, and the games i want to know if i'll keep my online stats on are COD4, CoD:WaW, MW2, FIFA 10, U2 and Socom: Confrontation.

great! thanks!

Chances are COD4 and WAW do the same but you should be able to find out in the IW forums. Not all online games do it though, I know Red Faction doesn't and Warhawk saved your stats but not the character detail (skin, insignia, colour etc.) that you had picked. While you can't check anything on a broken PS3 if you were ever able to check your stats in any game while you weren't signed in then chances are they're on the HDD.
