Yaah.. naah.
I'd just pull the drive, reinstall on a new one, redownload the games and go merrily on my way. I have ZERO on the machine that is so important that I'd do anything other than that.
NGL, it's current install is getting a bit cluttered since the last time I redid it with a full erase and reformat, so it wouldn't be too terrible.
I don't even have an email account set up on the device.
