Is there still no way to transfer your data from one PS4 to another other than re-downloading / re-installing everything? Switching from a black one to a white one and I assume when I pull the hard drive and put it in the white one it'll reformat it.

flash drive
it told me I couldn't copy my saves to a flash drive. I backed them up to the cloud. I was hoping they had a PS3 style transfer to an external drive deal. Considering buying one of those $99 Seagate Backup Slims from Best Buy and opening the case then putting it in the PS4.

You can back up to a flash drive. It's tedious because you have to do one At a time tho.

So im 99% sure my girl got me a PS4 for Christmas. Thinking about making a new ID and not using the one from the PS3. Any drawbacks on not keeping the same name?
