There is an interesting thread (http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/finally-remarry-bd-drives-other-consoles-83352/) over at psx-scene.com covering the procedure with instructions (http://psx-scene.com/forums/776138-post2.html) (also in the wiki here (http://www.eurasia.nu/wiki/index.php/PS3_BD_Drive_swap_procedure)) posted by Mark Webber. There are several positive reports already but keep in mind this involves some critical steps such as factory service mode (USB dongle required) on the PS3 and flashing of the BD drive.
