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.

yes. you'll need to backup any prevous data off the old drive you want to keep. but i've been running mine in a ps3 and it works great.

I only use it for my ps3 but im sure u could its set up as fat32 so your computer would recognize it as a flash drive.

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

I don´t know but I think it will work if the ps3 has the connections since it only transfers the video not audio. Hope that helps...

Yes, you can use it in a PS3. For the Slim, if it's one of the 12GB systems, you have to buy a mounting bracket since those do not come with a HDD.

I've had mine now for about two years and have a 3TB Seagate External hard drive attached to it via the USB port. The 3TB model has an external power connection. Thus, it is not powered by the USB port. Having said that, I use mine for watching my movie collection that I have converted from VHS and DVD to mp4. I have had no issues accessing the drive nor using the Sony remote to scroll through files and find the content I want. A nice upgrade would be if the USB port were a USB 3.0 versus a USB 2.0, but as-is, it works fine for me.

Baltodano if you dont mind your PS3 having a big old 3.5" HDD sitting on the outside then yes you can use this hdd. Just buy some SATA extion cables so that you can hook it up to your PS3.

I have no experience with ps3 and separate outputs to different tv's. However it should work OK?

When you say can this work.... In what terms do you mean? What exactly do you want to do with it? If you want to view pictures or movies then yes it will work. There are many things that you can do with the s3 jump drive. It is an amazing tool to have/use.

.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.

I second this question. I dont plan on getting a PS3 (i own a 360 :-), but I too have heard problems with it not working with HDMI on other things like Direct Tv's box and stuff. Any help would be great!

if you use the basic rca cables that came with the ps3 and plug it into the reciever with an hdmi cable connecting the tv and reciever it might work.

Yes. The HDMI pass through will allow you to view the output of your PS3, but to record or stream, you'll need some way to strip the HDCP.

This is a SATA III 6Gb/s hard drive. The PS3 has a SATA II 3Gb/s connection. Here is a list of hard drives that should work. Copy and paste the url below into your browser address barhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R3J292OYJK7HAF

I'm not very familiar with ps3. If it's game equipment, this unit has TV and HMI connections. Hope this helps.

Yes. But it only transfers video, no audioAnd that's odd Jill. I have this to connect my ps3 to a weird tv and it works as long as it has audio via a 3.5 mm cord going to the tv
