New PS3 with old HDD

[Drew664]

Question for those that either know or have done this before.

My OG 60GB PS3 died last week, and I am looking at getting another PS3 over the next week or so. I had upgraded the HDD way back when, I just need to know a few things.

1.) Are all PS3 HDD's universal? I want to use the old HDD in a new PS3 model.

2.) Will all of my password/log on info be saved on the old HDD? I had an email account/password that I don't fully remember, and I'd rather not have to start fresh considering I have about $50 in games attached to the account.

3.) Is it best to even before I turn on the new PS3, install the old HDD?


Thanks, and I did a quick search before posting, but couldn't find anything relevant.
