Its a long story Anyways i have a ps3 40 gig got it dec 07 the blu-ray just failed sucks. Anyways My friend had a friend living at his house his friend just bought a 80 gig last month his friend did not pay him rent and left. So not being in a good mood he offered me the blu-ray drive out of his friend ps3 will it work in my 40 gig just wondering. He wants to send it to his former fiend without the drive. I know its screwed up but i guess. And if not what replacement drive do i need for my "model ps3 cechg01" any help would be great

P.s i was reading into a KEM 400AAA replacement drive any one know anything about that

wait, y doesnt ur friend just give u the new 80 gig and just swap the drives, then u dont have to kill a warranty, iether that or back up ur 40 gig onto a external drive, wipe the 80 gig, adn put ur 40 gig info on the 80 gig, i mean come on, 40 more gigs, but to ur question im pretty sure u can swap them.

That friend of his would be pissed. Is this the old 80 gig with the better features or the new 80 gig with the worser feature? I think it should work either way whether it is the old or new 80 gig. But be very careful of electro-static discharge during the switch. Ground the 2 ps3's the best way you can. I think as sky920 stated, swap the drives, that'd be much more better. Unless your 1 year warranty is over since you do have a 40 gig, long out of stock.
