If you mean data like saved data then you can transfer it with a usb.

Ya saved data from games. So i don't have to start over a game again.





  

you can use the same sign in name, and when you sign in on PSN you just use your same details from your old ps3, as for game save's i think you can just use a memory stick



You can transfer your PSN account using the email address and password that you used when you created the account, this will also transfer your friends and trophy collection.

As for saved games, just insert an external storage device into your PS3, go to "Saved Data Utility" (or something like that), press triangle on the saves you wish to transfer, and then select "copy", you can then plug the device into your new PS3 and move all the save data into there.

So, yes, both are perfectly possible.

Then thats ok as long as you have a usb. You can also use the same online I. I think you'll have to make a new PS3 username but that isnt a big deal.








  

Well hopefully that wouldnt happen.

new question what if i forgot my password to my account?

There's a "forgotten password" facility, as with most password-protected services. You'll probably be asked some security questions, though, so let's hope you remember the answers you gave.



Is there anyway to transfer my trophys to a new username?
