This might be a bit of a long narrative, but I hope someone can help me with this (and the people on the official PlayStation boards don't get what I'm asking.)
In case no one knew, my PS3 died about 2-3 months ago, it was the 80GB fat model. (YLOD.) I'm thinking due to it being a 6 year old system (found out the original age from looking at the ID number and plugging that in to figure out where it came from... whoever had it last before me was in Des Moines and bought the Metal Gear special edition one, how it ended up here in PA at GameStop is still a mystery to me.)
I'm sending it in today to Sony to be repaired, and by my understanding I know the hard drive will be wiped when they fix it. (My skills aren't good enough to attempt this on my own, and I want to make sure it's being done right. Or they'll send me a replacement...)
My question is... will I be able to get back all of the GT5 DLC I bought (when I input my old PSN ID into the system when it gets back, and I know I need to deactivate the old one through Sony's website) through my PSN ID? I don't want to have to spend another $40 on that stuff (although I will if I can't recover it - and I think I can't recover stuff like the paint pack and suit pack).
If you were also wondering, I did not have Premium mainly because I don't have the internet speed and connection to get those free downloaded games within a decent period of time (at the bottom of the post is my Speedtest.net results, which are horrendous to say the least.) Am I thinking it was an oversight on my part? No, because I can't justify paying to have a backup and nothing more...
Sorry for the long wall of text. If you didn't want to read through that, below is the short version of my post.

My PS3 died, I'm sending it in for repair. When I get it back, if I use the same PSN ID (superuser) as before (after deactivating the old PS3 to enable usage of the PSN ID) do I need to buy all of the GT5 DLC again?
