can i switch a blue ray drive from a fat 60gb ps3 to my fat 80 gb ps3 doing the same process u just did???

[SHOGUN019]

@qazaqz Theres only one line of 80GB models that share the same drive as the 60GB, Since you say that you have the same ps3 as mine, I presume the same prefix? then its a 100% no to your question, the drive from the 60GB will not work. so please follow the link in my description, cross check the model (prefix) starting with 'CECH' which is found on the bottom of your ps3 and so on to find out what exact drive you need for your ps3.

Will the "new" drive be able to play games as well, or only movies and such?

[SHOGUN019]

@mobarakeh Yes, if you replace the drive you have now (assuming its faulty) with a 'new' drive, then it will play all the media that its supposed to regardless (so yes, games and everything)

@INumquamI Flip the slim over and on the under belly there should be a model no. for example mine starts with CECH- then click on the link in my description and cross check your model number with my compatibility chart
