(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My PS3 overheated and im looking to buy a new one. If I take out the harddrive and put it in the newer PS3, will this keep my saves, images, accounts etc?

Yeh i think so. But if you do loose your accounts you can get them back easy with the same stats by siging up to the PS Network and then going under the secong option and they type in your details.

Nope your hard drive will automatically be formatted if you place it in a new console.

So how would I go about getting my purchased games back? They have ran out of downloads as I let friends and family members use them too. If I deactivate them on my console, could I re-download them on a new one? This is the only thing im worried abuot as well as the USERS already on them.. :(

When you sign on into your account they'll be in the previous downloaded section like normal but you might have to have someone deactivate you.

of you have already used up your spots you could try to find a way to deactivate it (delete it)on your old hdd as for the other accs you have you could also delete them again and ask for the details again, but there might be a way to get sony to remove it off your hdd if you send it to them
