You can change your harddrive from 40 GB to 80 GB but it will not make your PS3 an 80 GB model PS3. Nothing will do that. If you are going to increase the size of the hard drive you might as well go for a larger size than 80 GB.

They all play PS3 games and Only a PS3 with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games. It is not based on harddrive size except that no PS3 other than the 60 and 80 GB size had 4 USB ports.

Can you play ps2 games on an 80g ps3?

80 GB PS3 come in two models and only one can play most PS2 games. The first 80 GB model has 4 USB ports and is capable of playing PS2 games. The second PS3 is part of the 3rd generation of PS3 model and includes models with the 40 GB, 80 GB and 160 GB harddrives and only 2 USB Ports and none of these can play PS2 games. The 4th Generation is also called the PS3 slim 120 GB and 250 GB models and also can not play PS2 games.

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.
