Is it SAFE to upgrade the harddrive of a PS3?!

i'm a proud PS3 40GB owner, and i have been enjoying it in every way possible... especially since i bought the HDMI cable and connected it to my HD ready plasma tv, the graphics are OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!

however... i want to upgrade my capacity from 40GB to 120GB or say 140GB.... is it safe to replace the harddrive inside the PS3 with the same kind but bigger capacity?! would the system get corrupt or what ?! ???!?!

please help !!!

thanks

PS. I SERIOUSLY CANT WAIT FOR MGS4 !!!!

Yea it is safe. Just make sure you BACK UP whatever you need and get them off the hard drive.

This includes your GAME SAVE DATA, and whatever files/videos you need.

You won't be able to access your old hard drive to retrieve the saves later.

Get a USB thumb drive and copy them onto that. Once the new drive is in, just copy the saves onto the new hard drive.
