I noticed a few of you have upgraded your HDD in your PS3, Is this the one you used http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Scorpio-Drive-WD5000BEVT/dp/B001JSSDGU/ref=sr_1_17?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1305931267&sr=1-17 ? Also does it transfer everything over, like trophies all games and the accounts. Will these games still work if I can no longer log into the accounts to activate them since I no longer know the passwords to them and used a email I just made up? Probally no point upgrading if I will lose half my downloaded games when switching over.

Yep, that's the exact same HDD I used to upgrade my PS3 just a month or two ago. When you do a complete HDD backup, install the new HDD, then do the restore backup, everything looks and functions as it did before the upgrade.

Excellent. Thats all I needed to know as I read a confusing post that made it sound like you would have to log into all the accounts before games were activated again, but I couldnt really understand the post properly so was unsure so glad I checked.

Also need help with the Spelunker multiplayer trophies if anyone else needs them message me so we can work at them together.
