The main draw back to FAT32 is that it has a 4 gig file size limitation:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463I believe MC Tyler is Mr. Video like myself and meant to say NTFS not NTSC, though maybe it makes sense that FAT32 would hang with PAL while NTFS and NTSC would get along famously. Thanks for the swiss knife link! Anyone know of a way to schedule my PS3 to play certain vids at certain times?

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

PS3 (last i checked) only reads flash drives and hard drives formated in FAT32, not NTSC. Large hard drives come formatted in NTSC, and windows XP and vista will not format large hard drives into NTSC, so you have to download other software on your comp in order to format your hard drive to fat32. Then it will read music, video, pics that are the correct file types that PS3 can read. Also system update your ps3 so it can read as many files as possible. Download this program to format: http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm

I run the camera to my PS3 through the controller charger USB cable then I just browse with my PS3 to what I am looking for on the camcorder and either save or watch it. It does take a few minutes to save though. The other option is recording to a memory stick card and putting that in your PS3 if you have the correct model. It does use up quite a bit of space if you save footage on a PS3 though. I have really had no problems with it and it is kinda my best option to watch exactly what I recorded in the same quality till I get a blu ray burner.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

I will move files between my PS3 and Computer using this device. So I will say it will work as an SSD. I will mention for the sake of conversation that it will not accept files larger than 4gb if you have it formatted with anything other than FAT32. My PS3 only reads NTSC formatting so it wont see anything with it if its FAT32. Saying that, of course, if its just purposed as an SSD then it will work fine for you and will hold files of any size as long as you format the CF card with FAT32. Hope this helps.

There is some limited internal memory (for things like stock photos supplied by the manufacturer); however, I was unable to find any info on how to, or whether it is even possible to, transfer any of one's personal pictures to this internal memory. I just assumed it's not possible after reading the instructions. The viewer accepts SD cards or USB-type memory sticks. You plug them in and view the pictures on the memory devices only while they are plugged in. It does not seem possible to transfer pictures from these memory devices to the internal memory. - John

Just wanted to point out since other people referred to an HDMI cable. You cannot use an HDMI cable to capture from the PS3 because of HDCP. You will need to use the A/V breakout cable or something that will strip the HDCP.

Sorry, not worth it for the ps3 since very few games would take advantage of it, especially so late in the PS3's life cycle. Also, the PS3's blu-ray drive is extremely slow (2xCAV) compared to the PS4's so it would bottleneck the SSHD anyway. It might be worth it if you only play digital games though.

You can see and browse, but so far I always get corrupt video errors when trying to stream anything. Works fine on my PS3, but would still like to see it work on the BluRay downstairs too!

Does with work with the latest PS3 Software update 3.55? I know they've been disabling 3rd party USB devices and narrowing it down to devices that are either Sony or USB Certified.EDIT: I checked that Newegg link and it had a product picture of the packaging which had the USB logo on it. So it appears to be USB Certified. A review on the same site said it didn't require drivers. Thanks for that link. :D

If you bought this memory card, then you might not have formatted it yet. It won't work until it's formatted. Trying formatting it from your computer first (put it in your PSP, connect it to your computer and go into USB mode on the PSP, then right click the storage when it comes up and format it from there--make sure to use FAT32) and if that doesn't work, try formatting it on your PSP itself (in the settings menu). Then try using it and it should work, giving you enough space to transfer your games from the PS3 to your PSP. Hope this helps!

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

I have thi for my ps3 and have had no issues with it. Your 3d has nothing to do with hard drive all this does is give you more space to hold more games.

If the ps3 is hooked through a HDMI cable, youre gonna have to hook it up through another way. Its basically built through component cables but i would still recommend buying it. It is worth every penny. You can look through YouTube to get an eazy tutorial to do it that way.

I use my PS3 to stream my songs and videos to my HDTV. As stated, this unit has built in support for Windows Medial Connect, so once you enable this feature on the home server you will have access to all your medial files (songs, videos, pictures).

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.
