Hey, i'm currently planning on upgrading my PS3's internal hard drive from 60gig to something a little more bigger. My question is i've got a lot of games installed on my hard drive that aren't technically mine. I've downloaded games from friends accounts, and was wondering if i use the backup data function of the PS3 and then restore the data back from an external HDD to a fresh internal HDD will i have to re-download those games and re log onto my friends accounts.

Just wondering because if some of them can't remember passwords i've lost alot of my games.

PS. If you restore your PS3 does it keep the users on the left of the XMB and allow you to play their games.
