    You can use your HD in your new PS3, however, HDs are "married" to each PS3. You would have to format any HD fitted to your PS3.

    you wont be able to keep any of your saved data from your phat, and bring it in to your slim ps3. Unfortunatly it dont work like that how ever you get to play all the games all over again which is a pretty ok thing to have to do :)

    if you bye the 12 gig model slim you need to get a cage from amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Replacement-Mounting-Bracket/dp/B009CV1OVC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355944596&sr=8-1 :)
