Speaking of PS3 backup. I did a complete backup of my unit in prep for sending it in for repair. When I finally got around to calling their help desk to make arrangements I happened to strike a seemingly very knowledgeable agent who troubleshooted to the point where he could confirm what I already pretty much knew. I needed to replace the BR laser assembly. It is going to cost me upwards of $140 plus shipping so I'm thinking over $200 after taxes and such are applied. That's getting close to buying a new one and having warranty again. (but losing SACD playing ability).
My question is, I have a considerable investment in Rock Band songs downloaded. I know I'll keep the rights to download them again but I see days of work there. If I were to just purchase a new unit will my full backup reinstall my games or more importantly, all my game data including my songs? That might be the decision maker.
