Got the new PS3 slim by opening Sony credit card. Did backup and restore thing to copy data from the old one to the new one. It did not work as I expected.
Things that were copied/restored,
- All custom files like music, picture, video clips.
- Save files for the games.
- Had to resync PSN account and trophies.
Things that were not restored,
- Any download from PSN, purchased videos, purchased games, demos, add-ons (like Rockband song download). Basically the game folder was not there and the game data folder was empty.
Now I have to re-download all games I purchased from the store again. Kinda pain.
Other than that, it worked out pretty good. The new one is of course slimmer/lighter. Virtually no noise. The old one is connected to the monitor in my room (which has a window to the living room).
I setup the whole account so that my wife and I can play online hard-way 🙂
We tried Fat Princess and it was pretty fun. My wife could leisurely avoid battles and focus on chopping down trees while I was more focusing on killing. Occasionally we could team-up to rescue the princess. This was against bots, of course. Need more practice to really play online.
Games we are going to try, (more like games “I” like to try, of course this will be very costly)
- Sacred 2 – my wife agrees that having the separate screens will be very good.
- Burnout Paradise – only if she likes the idea of cruising around the Paradise city. (which she thinks stupid so far)
- Resistance 2 Co-op – kinda tempted to teach her FPS but…can be very frustrating.
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Co-op – will be very interesting.
Hmm… anything more?
