Bought a 2nd PS3, what to do now?

[Ibonibo]

So i have ordered a second ps3, the slim 320gb (with free move) to save my fatty from getting too many hours on "on" and getting too hot. (it made some wierd sounds latly (rarly but still))

I read that i can share my account on 2 ps3 (max 5 systems) ?
Can I share the account name (system) and the psn account?
Will that also apply for psn+? Can i redownload than all the previous downloads on the new ps3?

I will use now my slim as main system, so i need to get the data from the fatty to the slim.
Can i just swap the HDD?
Should I do the data transfer via Lan (i think this is recommended). What will happen to my fatty as all data will be deleted after transfer (accounts also lost?)?
Should I back it all up and than copy on the new system??


Please give some recommendation for using 2 systems...
Are there other things i should know about??
Thanks

I recommend u make a backup just in case and use it on your Slim PS3.

Yeah but in order to get complete throphy support and working save games, i think sony recommends the data transfer via ethernet cable. And then i don't know what happends to the accounts of the fatty as sony said all data transfered will be deleted.

But i will do the backup just in case of...

Do't worry about the trophies. U just have to sync it wihtt he server first, then u have to backup. If u play the game with your progress of trophies it will show up.

i read about some savegames that are not copiable, and some where throphies don't work after the copy??

There are some to what I heard can't be copied. To prevent people from cheating in getting trophies and such. Though I found a quote online that will explain it even better:

Yes, you can now. With the 3.15FW, you can hook the two PS3's together, and it will *migrate* copy protected saves/game data/dlc etc to the new unit, but any saves 'copy protected' will delete the source save once the copy is complete, thus only 1 copy of the save at a time.

Found the quote here.

So that would mean your slim PS3 can have the file but the source file on the "fat" PS3 will be deleted.

That isn't a problem since you'll be using the same PSN account on both consoles, I'm assuming. When you switch to a new console, think of it as being the exact same console, PSN wise, cause nothing really changes except the hardware. I have my friend's account on my PS3. I can log in with his account and access all of his downloads and purchases and such. When I switch to my account, I can still use those downloads, after downloading with his account first.
