Can I plug this into my PS3 and view pictures/video on my PS3/TV? Just wondering. I currently plug my SDHC cards directly into my PS3 card reader and view things like that.

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.

The best thing to do is format the memory stick that you have, also check to see if there actually is enough space on that stick. My solution was formatting it to a file that the PS3/PSP will be able to read.

Honestly I end up never using it. The user interface is slow and awkward so I end up just powering on my ps3. My understanding is if you have a Samsung TV with a USB port you can use this. Its backwards compatible so if it's an older series you're still fine.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

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!

I just got this as a gift for Christmas. We have a sony digital camera that uses the memory sticks. The digital frame will play pics from the memory stick. However, if you have pictures on the internal memory and insert the memory stick, the display will only play the memory stick files. If you want to play the pics from the internal memory, you will need to take the memory stick out. Hope this helps.

I've installed it on my PS3 (original 60GB model) and the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB works just fine. Boot times are faster and so are read times. Installs (write times) are just as fast as any other 7200RPM drive I've used before.Before you remove your old drive, reboot it and time it just to get an idea of your boot times.Then install the new drive, boot it once then reboot it again. You'll notice a nice improvement over your old drive.

What if you have a 360 as well? The 360 doesn't have an optical slot if you're using the HDMI.Can you connect an optical cable from the TV to the receiver so you can skip the hassle of switching wires between the PS3/360/Cable, or is that possible? I want to use HDMI or else what's the point of an HDTV?

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 either I'm not understanding your answer the way you intended it or I worded my original question wrong.I'm wondering whether the microSDHC cards will be read by the card slot when put in an SD card adapter.However, I never even considered a microSDHC USB adapter. Interesting. I'm gonna have to look into that now. Thank you!

i have a question regarding the SD card integration. Can you play files (audio and video) on the SD card directly or you have to move them to the internal memory before you can play them? Thank you

Actually the ps3 games can not be downloaded directly to an external disk. Even if you do, probably the file system can not handle it. I suggest you try it with another external drive before buying this.

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.

my westington house display is messing up. the ps3 hdmi handshake is all messed up but my westington house display also has a vga port if i connect this cable to my ps3 (hdmi device) to the display via VGA (1080p) device will it in turn be like connecting a normal hdmi to and hdmi setup. i just want to watch and play ps3 on my 1080p display in 1080p. im pretty sure im reading the description of the cable right but just want to be sure.P.S. dont buy westington displays cheap price for a bad product.

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

I think it came with the software so you can choose how you want it formatted. You plug it into your pc, choose FAT32 (or their option for use with a playstation) and then it will work on your ps3.

.Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no. You think like me. I planned to do that myself but the data on the external has to be downloaded to the PS3 in order to work. I bought a 1T hard drive to replace the 250GB that I had and love it. I believe it was under $100 and extremely easy to do. Currently, I have 54 games and well over300 hours of video not to mention music and photos and still have 470GB free for future downloads. I back things up on the external to be safe but am happy with it. Of course it comes with a price to do that but considering the cost of downloads, it pays for itself. .Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no.
