Some games may store data elsewhere on the system and you will want to make sure that you have a backup of any games that may support extra data. Little Big Planet and PlayStation Home both have extra areas you may want to check to make sure your data is backup up before proceeding to the next step.

You can also verify all of the information on the new system before continuing with wiping the old system.

Once you verify you have any information you need and want to erase your personal data go to the settings menu -> system -> restore PS3 system

We had already deactivated the system and synced our trophy information earlier but if you havent you will want to do that now.

Select what method you want to use to format the PS3 with. Unless there is something really personal on the system a quick format should be good enough.

The format will go really fast and then ask you to restart your PS3.

After it has finished it will walk you through the initial setup of the system. You dont need to walk through the setup if you plan on selling the system so you can also just shut it down.
