I need some help with my PSN ID. My trusty 60gig Launch model just died out on me, with my MLB 10 The Show Disc inside. I got the blinking red light and after three tries, was unable to get it going again. My question is, if I buy one of the newer 160gigs will I be able to recover my PSN ID on the new console or is it stuck on my old one? I ask because this is the first time this has happened to me on this platform. I am familiar with the RRoD procedure on my 360 (happened once before), but I don't really know where to go from here with my PS3. My trophies were all synched and I understand I will likely lose my saves, which isn't a huge issue. I just want to know if i'll be able to successfully recover my PSN ID on a new console, and recover all my DLC and PSN games on my new console.
 
Thanks for the responses and the time in advance.

Yes you will be able to sign in with your old PSN ID in you new console, my PS3 died on me last year and when the new one came I resumed playing normally. You're just gonna have to re-download anything you purchased on PSN.

yes, you have to recover it when you get a new ps3. i do think there is a way to get your disc out without using power.

I went this through this same issue a while ago and the only bummer is that unless you deactivated your account on the old PS3, any movies or TV shows you purchased on their will not work on the new PS3. Games and such work fine though. You can even re-download the videos, they just won't play.

I emailed sony's customer support, trying to get my PSN account deactivated on my old PS3. Haven't heard back yet, not surprising. "  

" Call them It's what I had to do when I got my 3rd YLOD. They deactivated all my accounts. Which also BTW reset my download count back to zero. Still not worth the price of my 3rd YLOD "

 Really? I called them and they said they could not deactivated. It was one of the reasons I returned my PS3 and they could have done it? Wow. Sony fail.

You are probably better off calling them. "

You could clone your HD for the old one by switching out the HD and placing it in the newbie. Do a backup to an external drive, then copy to the new HD. I did it with my system (i upgraded my HDD for my laptop, so I put the older, much bigger drive in my PS3). It takes a little while, but everything was good to go sir "

But would the videos that you downloaded from the store still work? I think it's tied to the serial of the PS3 unit. "

" @BibleDoctor: you have to call them. It took me 2 minutes "
