How do you get the game data to automatically save to this once it is plugged in instead of it saving to the PS3?

I don't know if it will automatically do that. I do it as a backup manually

You would have to get an external disk drive or put the game on a flash drive. Both are cheap.

I'm not sure i understand your question. Upon buying this product I plugged it into my Wii U, and then after turning my console on it automatically allowed me to save downloaded games and game save data onto it. However it did prompt me to delete all other data on the hard drive before the console would register and accept it. Hope this helps. This external hard drive does not come with any additional software.

I believe I installed it right to my ps3 and it worked great. Any formatting was done by the ps3.

The Super PS3 must have a S.A.T.A type hard drive. This qualifies for that preference. Once you Install this drive the PS3 should automatically wipe and format it for your use.

If you down loaded the game then there shouldn't be a problem. If nothing else, buy an external disk drive. I think I paid $40 for one at Best Buy.

I installed this into mine. It is the old version with the PS2 backwards compatibility. It has worked flawlessly for a couple months now.

You just stick it in the Xbox 360 slim and move your files from internal storage to the hard drive. When you first play a game it will ask you which save device to save on and you need to say the hard drive.

Go to the main menu on your wii, then in the bottom right hand corner there should have a button that say wii. from there go to data management then save data. then click whatever save data and it gives you the option to move it.

I do exactly this. Works great. All games load about 10 seconds faster. Good Luck!

It will need to be reset every time you plug it in and turn it on. It does not have the capability to "save" settings.

Rick's correct, you need to just update the system. If you have your PS3 on your network, you just need to go to the settings column, 2nd from the rleft, on the XMB (PS3 main menui) and select the top most option "System Upda te" and let it do its thing. If you don't have your PS3 on your network for whatever reason, usually games that need newer system versions include an update on the disc--look on the game column under the game icon for a "system update" icon.

There should be a reset button on the back of the controller. Push that so you can Re-sync it with the PS3 and then see if it will charge from other sources.

No, It doesn't. I use both PS3 and PS4, both systems play as if they are plugged directly into TV.

I plugged it in to my Wii U and it recognized it and I was able to transfer data over to it. I have't tried playing off it as I'm going to try to use a Y cable for that.

does your ps3 have a 3.5mm port so that you can listen to games privately on your own headset or earbuds? try plugging in a usb port on your coby with a 3.5mm into the output of your ps3. set your coby to download or record and play your ps3 through the head set port. please keep in mind i am only guessing, i have never tried it. don't forget...you must have a usb male on one end (the coby) and a 3.5mm male on the other(the ps3). you might also try downloading from the ps3 to a computer and then from a computer to the coby. this procedure will probably use the same patch cord. again, this is all guess work. good luck. does your ps3 have a 3.5mm port so that you can listen to games privately on your own headset or earbuds? try plugging in a usb port on your coby with a 3.5mm into the output of your ps3. set your coby to download or record and play your ps3 through the head set port. please keep in mind i am only guessing, i have never tried it. don't forget...you must have a usb male on one end (the coby) and a 3.5mm male on the other(the ps3). you might also try downloading from the ps3 to a computer and then from a computer to the coby. this procedure will probably use the same patch cord. again, this... » Read More does your ps3 have a 3.5mm port so that you can listen to games privately on your own headset or earbuds? try plugging in a usb port on your coby with a 3.5mm into the output of your ps3. set your coby to download or record and play your ps3 through the head set port. please keep in mind i am only guessing, i have never tried it. don't forget...you must have a usb male on one end (the coby) and a 3.5mm male on the other(the ps3). you might also try downloading from the ps3 to a computer and then from a computer to the coby. this procedure will probably use the same patch cord. again, this is all guess work. good luck. « Show Less
