My 40GB PS3 has died.. But I had upgraded the drive to 250GB which I want to use in the new PS3 that I buy.

I can't make it boot so that I can back it up.. So what will happen if I put the 250GB drive into a new PS3? Will it work and give me some of the stuff (I am not expecting games to restore).. Or will it erase the disk?

If you put it in a different machine it will format it and wipe everything off.

Thats what I feared.. OK.. Then my only choice is

1. Buy a new PS3
2. OPen my and do the 'hot air gun' trick
3. Backup my stuff
4. Move on.
