I wouldn't pay, because it would be cheaper to do it myself and keeping the old drive as use for something else like an external drive.
Just this week I purchased a 500GB drive to replace the 320GB which replaced the 120GB with my slim PS3, I like that if I do things myself I can also upgrade something less fortunate with more memory. SONY possibly wouldn't return the old drives, they would sell it as an exchange service meaning you don't have the option that those like myself have when presented with a spare drive to further increase the memory capacity of your console externally for the benefits of moving/storing more TV shows, animé and movies.
