I've a 60gb PS3 and the HDD is filling up.

If I want to fit a bigger drive do I simply back up my saved game data to a usb stick, remove the existing drive, fit the new drive, format it and move the saved game data back across when done?

Not concerned about actually fitting the drive, just want to make sure I won't lose any data.

Yep, that's right. You can either do a full backup, or just selectively copy across the stuff you want to keep. The latter option is quicker obviously, and means you won't be copying loads of junk over to your new HDD.

i'm sure some (protected) saves can't be backed up to mem sticks. if you have PS+ back them up to the cloud.

if you can, plug an external hd into ps3 and use the built in backup prog on PS3 to copy every thing over. fit new hd and then use the same prog to put everything back on your new hd.
