[quote name='floormat']so if i deactivate all accounts do a full system copy to a new ps3 and then reactivate all accounts on the new ps3 and format the old ps3 I should be all good right ?[/QUOTE]
I think that the ps3 to ps3 copy copies all accounts, including activation data (deactivate it on the old system, activate it on the new), but you might want to verify that before doing it though
