data transfer utility is the best way.

if you already backup to external HDD then just recover your data from the external HDD.

if you didn't deactivate your psn id on your old ps3, then you can not use it on your new ps3. all your trophies and psn games are locked to your psn id and unless you deactive it, you cannot transfer your trophies and psn games to your new ps3.

the only other way to deactivate your psn id is to call sony tech support. you can find their phone number at the malaysia playstation website.

you can try but don't tell them your ps3 is korean set..

take note, sony tech support will only help with Malaysian PSN accounts only!!!!

You can get back your trophies as long as synced with sony server before old PS3 died.
You can re-download all PSN games without re-buy it as long as your PSN ID not a share account (share with other 5 people).

If got PSN games which bought from share account (example: from terion), you can't re-download it since you didn't deactivated old PS3.

Yes, don't need deactivated old PS3. But MUST synced with sony server first before your old PS3 died.
If never synced with sony server before, then can't get back all trophies.

trophies no need to deactivate. but for psn games need to deactivate. sorry for the confusion.

I think PSN games don't need to deactivate too unless the PSN games bought from share account.
