My ps3 died. When i get my replacement will i be able to put my old hard drive into the replacement system and boot it up like normal?

I have a feeling that ps3 hard drives are locked to each system. So my hard drive will only work in the dead ps3. Is that the case and if so what can i do to get the data onto my replacement ps3?

Any help would be awesome.

I'm pretty sure it will work with your new PS3. But be warned, getting the hard drive out is a BITCH.
