Best Way To Transfer Everything From One PS3 To Another?

[Idealsupra]

Hey guys. I was wondering what the absolute best way to transfer everything from one PS3 to another. Game saves, downloaded games, settings, etc. Mainly the first two though: Game saves (including the copy protected), and downloaded games.

The other thing to consider is I have a 500GB HDD I want to transfer to the new PS3 as well. If I take it out and put it in the new one, will it make me reformat it all over again? Or will it have everything on it and Im good to go?

Also for the copy protected games I figured I would use the Cloud service to transfer those to the new machine, if theres no other easier way to do it.

I cant exactly hook the two PS3s together because I want the 500GB HDD in the one I have set up to be in the new one I just got.

Any help is appreciated. Id like to do this tomorrow night! Thanks!
