Backing up is a bad idea if you want to keep most of your stuff since the new PS3 won't take it all.

Your best option is the data transfer utility which will bring over 99% of your stuff.

Why wouldn't the new PS3 take everything if you do a full system backup onto an external HDD? I don't recall anyone ever saying anything like that.

I just went through this about 2 months ago, very little gets backed up.  Pretty much only your non-copywritten saves transfer over.  No games installed, no game data etc.  The only way to get everything is through data transfer.  you could also use the month of free psn plus and use the cloud storage to save your files i believe
