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.

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.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

How do you expect connecting an external drive to a TV to make any sense?!?

Probably... read this article, it can help explain how."http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3/How-to-use-a-USB-external-Hard-Drive-on-your-PS3/td-p/14303247&q;uot;

Only if the TV has a USB port, which is unlikely. An alternative is to connect the drive to a computer that can network or connect directly to the TV.

Well for one that's not true. I watch movies on my ps3 and my flash drive is NTFS. I assume you could do Fat32 but have not tried.

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.

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.

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.

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

I don't have a PS3 but if you format the drive to FAT32 it should work fine

this hard drive works in a PS3 I am using this in my PS4 and it works great I use 1TB hard drive in my PS3 I buy and download all my games from the PlayStation Store . you say you are having issue with the video and sound could be the hard drive is going bad or the inside of the ps3 has a lot of dust in it you can try canned air and blow the dust out of the ps3 and see how that works just make sure your ps3 is off when you use the canned air I ended up getting the god of war bundle red ps3 how long have you had your ps3

I use the hard drive for my Asus laptop so I have no experience using the hard drive on a ps3

Yes you can, by using the HDMI to mini HDMI cable that comes with the Camera and using the remote, or you can move to a EHDD and play with a PS3 using Play Memories...
