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.

In order to BACK UP the Game files (as in to transfer data WITHOUT using the PS3's built-in method) you must CHANGE the FORMAT of this hard drive from whatever it comes as ( probably NTSC or something ) To FAT32. There exists free programs online to convert Hard drives formats, be careful wit that though.

Not sure. It comes formatted for NTFS. I don't know what format PS4 uses. At worst you should be able to reformat it to anything if you have the right software. The drives hardware should support it.

For it to work on your PS3 the format needs to be FAT32, need to reformat it from NFTS to FAT32.

I wouldn't recommend using this for a ps3 I'd go get an external bar drive for it. This is an internal and it could mess it up

Please remember that IF the hard drive is USED, then chances are that you would HAVE to format it FOR the PS3. It is QUITE simple. The PS3 has a format utility built into it. You can only use the Format of FAT32, as the PS3 doesn't recognize drives that are formatted using NTFS. If the hard drive is NEW< then it is usually pre-formatted already. To make things EASIER, you can format the drive using Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8.1. ALL of those operating Systems have the "Command" prompt. Good hunting!!!! ^_^

Unfortunately you cannot. This is strictly a backup device. You can't even veiw whats on the drive from your PS3 it only shows each save as a file number usually including the date the save is made in with the sequence of numbers. You can delete older saves and apply previous saves through your PS3 backup utility that's about it.MAD

Yes but if they are copyright protected then you are going to have to do a system backup! Games you purchased digitally I can understand but save data of your game's progress is just stupid!

He cant add new games to this. He needs a new internal hard drive. This can backup his saves though

Yes. You can download games from various websites. You can also download and save documents from emails or a work website and save it to the computer.

In theory, yes. The PS3 can play media files from an external HDD, just like from a thumb drive. If your TV can play media from a thumb drive, it should also be able to play media from one of these. According to various forums, you should put files in the appropriate folders on an external drive: "Photo", "Music", "Video". You also MUST format the drive as FAT32, not as exFAT or NTFS.
