R.i.p. Ps3
Options
Well, after 3 years, my fat 80GB, Backwards Compatible, 4 USB Slots, 3 Memory Card slots, shiny launch PS3 has departed this world. Living together for the last few years really brought us close together and it's hard accpeting the loss and trying to move on.
Oh well, brand new Slim is here. lol
Question: How do I transfer the data from the old one to the new one. Hadn't backed up the date in a long time and the old one does not come on at all.

? my first 360 lasted longer than that
then the disc tray was open and it got stepped on -
Think there's an option to back up data on the xmb
You should google it just to make sure -
YLOD or it just died period?

Power outages and fluctuations. My fault for taking it off the surge protector and not putting it back on. -

I know, but have not done it for a long time. And it won't come on period so can't do that now. I took the hd out though. Would I be able to put the hd in an external case and restore it to the new system? -

Think I did see it flash yellow but it does not turn on at all so I'm not sure.
I'm going to eventually send it in for repair. -

Check out gophermods.com see if they got your problem there, they fix it for $70 AND you get to keep all your data -

Thanks. Gonna check it out. It's already out of warranty so no reason sending it to Sony and paying double that.
Just wondering how to get the data onto my new system now -

I'm telling you man. I used to have the fatty up on a high ledge and when people come over they see it shining as soon as the walk in. The Slim, that gone down low on the shelf with the TV. Nothing attractive about that. lol
Better believe when I do eventually send it in and get it back I'm gonna re install all my info and put it back up and put the Slim away in case something goes wrong again. -

I'm not sure what happened with mine. But we've been having some blackouts and power fluctuations here since Saturday after lightning struck the power grid at the station. I have most of my stuff plugged into a surge protector but unplugged the PS3 a few weeks ago while using something else and plugged it into another socket later in the day to game for a short while and never remembered to switch it back to the surge after. -

Yeah we had an outage when I was away at work like 3 days in a row before the day my 60GB got the YLOD, but mine's was plugged in the surge protector. -
Damn son...me and my PS3's 3rd year anniversary was just this passed January. Don't jinx me, bro!!

Is there anyone here that had to get a new system? How did you get your data transferred from the old one?
-
No way to transfer data, gophermods is your best bet if you wanna keep data
You can create a profile sign in with your info on your new PS3 and basically gameshare with yourself, so you get to keep eveything you ever downloaded from the PSN/Video store
But as far as movies music etc that ? is gone on a new PS3 -

I was actually thinking about the saved game data and stuff. I've already taken out the hd. Was going to put it in an external shell and try to use the restore feature and see. -
Scary ? mine fat ps3 is still working coming July will be 3 years since I bought it, the older ones breaking is worth getting them fixed instead of getting a slim. Having the ability to play ps and ps2 games is a special feature and it has more usb ports. With the slim you only get 2.

Yea that wont work, the restore feature only works if its the EXACT same PS3 it was backed up on, same ? happend to me when I sent my 1st PS3 to Sony
