So my question is straightforward, but here's my situation. The blu-ray drive and/or lens crapped out on my 80GB fat PS3 the other day. I've been thinking about my different options. I don't want to send it to Sony because I've heard they take way too long to turn it around and I don't want to be without my PS3 for that long. I've considered taking it to a repair shop, most seem to be in the $100-150 range to replace the blu-ray drive or lens. Given the fact that the old fat PS3's have more reliability issues, I'm concerned that if I have it fixed, I'll just be waiting for it to break on me again. So that has me leaning towards the purchase of a new, more reliable slim PS3. My biggest concern is that I would lose months of progress that I have made in GT5. I tried to do a search, but I can't find a definitive answer. If I have a backup of my game save data on a USB drive, can I restore that backup on a new PS3 assuming I'm logged onto the same PSN account?
