Have you bought a new slim PS3 to replace your old and clunky PS3? If you have, then you probably you are probably wondering, can you transfer data from one PS3 to another. The answer is: yes you can. Without transferring you will lose all of your data from the previous PS3. PS3 has two simple ways of transferring your files—Ethernet Cable or USB.
Ethernet Cable Transfer

4. Connect both PS3s to a separate TV inputs on the TV.
