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 have only ever used it with my pc and ps4. The best advice I can offer for the ps3 is to look at the official support. Hope it helps.http://support.turtlebeach.com/entry/830517337/

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.

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

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally

The short answer is, yes, it will. The PS3 uses a Serial ATA for the sixty gigabite drive that default modle came with. The longer answer is, yes, but its kinda overkill: the PlayStation has a max disk I/O of `bout 3 Mb and this disk will support up to 6 Mb. You could probably find one cheaper (look for a SATA II) `round here; but this should work too. As far as replacing the disk itself, check out this Gamespot article: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-upgrade-your-playstation-3-hard-drive/1100-6176090/ as it seems to cover all the basics.

Yea I'm pretty ssure you can because I would play PS3 with this device so I am able to record with an HDMI output which is otherwise blocked on PS3. I have an Optical Cable from my PS3 to the device and then to my headset. And the DVI from the PS3 to the device then an HDMI to my Capture Card then from the Capture Card to the TV. My Recording saved on my PC has audio and video and I can hear the game volume from my headset.

Even I am looking for a similar answer. Please let me know if this or some other one that particularly works with PS3. Thanks

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.

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.

Its fast and easy to play content from an external HDD with the WD TV Live. I've other issues with it but if this is your purpose to have one: yes, it's a good equipment using a USB 3.0 connection. I did not use no USB 2.0 external HDD, then, for this I can't help you.

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 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.
