you need to copy the game data files/ transfer them to your new one (best done via usb), depends on the game some let you some don't

You can't copy songs as far as I know. I had the very first ps3 which played ps2 games etc.. well, I never used that feature, and friend of mine wanted that. So he bought me a new one in exchange for that..

long story short. I had to contact sony to 're-release' my wifes singstar-songs to the new console. They're NOT 'username'-specific DRM, but console specific. So you can't redownload the songs with your username even if they 'look like you could download them'... I doubt you can copy them either..

Savedata is easy enough.
