How can I change my 120 GB ps3 to a 80GB?
You can not. Many PS3 80 GB models do not have the 4 USB ports that allow backward compatibility and have no advantage over the 120 GB models anyway. The Fat PS3 consoles all do run hotter than the PS3 slim models and have shorter lifespans because of this. Sure you can replace the 120 GB harddrive with a PS3 80 GB harddrive if you also add the software for the 120 GB model. You can trade your PS3 toward a 60 GB PS3 model if you want, but you would be smarter to keep both models and only use the old PS3 to play PS2 games. There is no reason to want an 80 GB PS3 as the 60 GB model does not have the less capable partially software based emulation backward compatibility used in the 4 USB port 80 GB models and instead has the emotion engine to provide the best available backward compatibility used only in the first 20 and 60 GB PS3 for the USA and Japan.
