It should be a simple matter of screwing it open and replacing the hard drive, which is probably one of the most generic devices when it comes to (computer-related) hardware, so yeah, that should work. Only thing might be formatting it in the proper format for the PS3, but that would be a matter of hooking it up to a PC and running a program on it.
But that's not really the problem, the problem is that it's far too expensive compared to the other two consoles. And even then, there's only a handful of PS3-exclusive titles out there anymore and only a very select few new PS3-exclusive titles coming up. If Sony still wants to make a chance, they really have to work on getting their console both very cheap and get a lot of games on it.
If they do a PS4, they should use more generic hardware, simplify games development for it, and reduce the initial cost to a max of $300,-.

Dunno. With all the hardware used in the PS3, I'm not sure if they can make it any smaller. They probably could, but I'm sure you'll loose a good amount of features.

As with all electronics and recent American elections: Yes They Can. Electronics and chips become smaller both due to improved (and smaller) production techniques and due to integrating multiple chips into one single chip, as Intel will be doing with one of their next generation of processors (aimed specifically at netbooks and whatnot), and electronics can be simplified and reduced in size as the development goes on.
The Cell, GPU and Blu-ray drive were probably the newest features in the PS3, and all those have had a few years of development by now, so the entire package could probably be reduced in size by now as well.

That's what I say, yet the consoles keep getting larger with every release. Nintendo seems to be the only ones that know what they're doing in that aspect.

As far as I know, the 360 has at least comparable graphics but it can use regular hardware. Or well, semi-regular, .
But yeah. I don't think the next generation of consoles will be using that much experimental stuff, but will instead use more mainstream hardware. You know, like the Wii does.

All you need to buy is a SATA HDD thats what the PS3 uses which in simpler terms is a laptop HDD pretty much. And all you need to do is as yop said. Open up the PS3, take out the old HDD and replace it with the new.

Personally, i think it's a bit naff. This could easilly have been alot better, however, it's good to see Square-Enix putting some new FFVII-related things out there on the PS3.
