Can I plug this into my PS3 and view pictures/video on my PS3/TV? Would this drive pretty much work the same?

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.

I don't have a PS3. But if a PS3 has a USB 2 port, it seems like it has to work as there must be some sort of USB 2 standard that allows such things as jump drives to be taken from one computer to another.

It should be able to work, I have my speakers and PS3 hooked up to my tv,and it'd anything the speakers should be able to hook up to the PS3

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).

I think it should be a direct USB connection because it won't understand multiple external USB HHD or flash drives as multiple storages. It only works with a single storage device and it is really slow over network connections anyways. I tried 8GB flash drive and successfully set it up and used my PS3 to view its media/video files but if I want to fast-forward, it will fail sometimes. Also, the wireless connection will just get lost.

You probably can, but why not get Sony's "PS3 Component AV Cable"? It's $16.28. http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Component-AV-Cable-Playstation-3/dp/B000MIXFWA

The answer to both question is that it depends on the TV. I use USB drives to store digital video files that I play through a "media player" that is connected to the TV. It decodes the video files and transmits a standard HDMI signal to the TV, so from the TV's "perspective" it's the same as a cable box, Blu-Ray player, and so on. It has its own user interface with menus and so on, and it comes with a remote with all the standard playback features. There are a number of these type devices available for under $100, some well under. The last I knew, no TV would read raw digital video directly from a USB drive. Most recently-made TVs can read audio and image files (mp3, jpg, etc.) directly from USB but not full video. I haven't been in the TV marker for a couple of years, so this may have changed. As for FAT32, you can definitely format the drive that way if you want, but I doubt any current digital player would prefer this file system. Everything I've seen requires NTFS, which has been the standard for several years now.

I don't see why not as long as your PS3 has an HDMI port. You should be able to plug and play from any device with an HDMI port to any VGA monitor.

Idk about a straight hard drive install. Not sure how you would access the files. I do, however, regularly connect my computer/iPad to the tv thru an HDMI cable. I can watch files on the unit or stream from the internet.

I believe the ps3's use the same kind of hard drive as a computer. Just be sure you reformat the drive so nothing is on it and when you plug it into your playstation, it will format to whatever the playstation uses.

Yes it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

I use it with an Apple TV and have no first hand experience using it with a PS3. It should work with the PS3 as HDMI is a standardized interface. On some monitors I have to adjust my Apple TV's settings in order to get an image, then I have to further refine the settings to get the best possible image (still not high def. in some cases). You will also need a VGA cable to go from the adapter to the monitor and any speaker wire adapters to feed sound from the 3.5mm audio port to your speakers of choice. Hope this helps.
