well replacing the rsx would be soldering it off and on?

Maybe im wrong but if we get the "per console key" for this particular ps3 by for instance using a euhh spare 40gig and formating it, then get the key?

Then use thjiws key for decrypting the other hdd?

So say if someone had two 120gb hdds and ran out of space to install games on one hdd, instead of buying a new larger hdd they can use the 2nd 120gb hdd and format it to use on their ps3.

Normally when you add a new hdd to a ps3 it will ask you to format it, but if both hdds have already been formatted by the same ps3, you can swap between each of them whenever and how many times you like.

So yeah you can swap hdds in a ps3, provided they were both formatted by that single ps3. If it was formatted by another ps3, it will not work and ask you to format. So atm there is no way to retrieve data from a broken ps3.
