they wont switch me Ps3's so is there a way we could switch hard drives and they still keep their data?

Nope:/ why won't they switch?

idk maybe they think ill break there ps3 lol and because theres is much newer then mines

Do a data transfer.
Search google for "PS3 data transfer tutorial."

If you put they're HDD in you ps3, and give it to them, it should work..

You actually can't switch hard drives, they will require a formatting, not only that but firmware is not stored on the hard drive.

I would find an ethernet cable and follow a tutorial on how to data transfer, which is what smelly said.
