Restoring a Playstation 3 to factory settings.

[dirtyred619]

I've just sold my PS3 and want to restore it to factory settings wiping everything on it like pictures, music, PS network data etc. I'm sure this is easy enough to do with a couple of presses of a button but I've got 3 games on it advertised in the sale and want to be sure not to wipe them, can anybody help?

I would have thought the purchases would remain on your account so you could just download them again free of charge (like how you can with itunes).

Ive not restored my ps3 so not 100% sure thats the case.
