yes works well...no issues seen. follow the directions from sony hdd upgrade and get the larger file...think it was 500mb or so....for new drive install.....do hate how you cant back anything up on ps4 except game saves...so you have to redownload everything....i had a god 60+ gb

Just to clarify everything. This WILL work in your PS4 just fine. You have to have a flash USB drive to insert the firmware update onto this hard drive after installation. This WILL NOT work on PS3. However, my suggestion to you is to simply wait for next month as Nyko is releasing a tech that replaces the 2.5 inch hard drive casing with a casing that will work with a 3.5 inch hard drive, that can handle up to 6 Terabytes. I already have a 4 Terabyte SSD hybrid ready. That would be the best bet. My terabyte SSD filled up months ago. Two Terabytes really isn't enough if you play a lot of games.

I have a 512 GB in my PS4. There is little improvement. Hybrid drives seem to work the best in the PS4.

It works great with my ps4 other than the fact that my kids got ahold of them. they spun the mic around so many times they broke the mute. I still love them though(the headset). When ive tried to hook them up to my xbox one i had to buy an xb1 mic connector thing. they are $20 or so. What you have to do is connect the chat pad to the controller. Then get a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable and plug that from the chat pad to the headset. seems simple and no its not wireless anymore but i can live with that. The problem i am having is i can hear the game but i cant talk to my buddies. maybe im doing it wrong. i would suggest buying any headset that says it works with xb1.

No, the PS3 will format the drive for you with no problems. Pretty much plug and play. I HIGHLY recommend backing up your original PS3 hard drive before swapping. Then, simply plug it in. It will format. Then restore your files. All will be well. It will not mess up your PS3. I tried using a solid state drive. That didn't work at all. Crashed a couple of times. Since I've used this drive...no problems. It works great. I was able to download and install DC Universe!!! Which took forever to download and install, but with this big a drive it was no problem at all.

I'm planning to get the Momentus XT for Christmas but I need some reassurance from someone who has owned this drive for a at least a year in their PS3 and has upgraded to SD28 (Latest firmware) because I really do want to get it, it's cheap for what it is and what it does which makes a perfect buy, however if it's going to have problems later down the road then I might have to reconsider, I've heard some good stuff and I heard some bad stuff about it, but I just really need to be sure before taking the plunge to buying it.

Thanks. I assume that if you can download the update to a computer at all you should be able to transfer it to the player. When I originally bought my ps3 you couldn't download the updates without an internet connection.(I think it's possible now, though) I was saved by its wireless feature. I just do not want to run into the same problem in a different place with a different player. Thanks again.

In response to the "invalid file" message; I have both the Playon server and Tversity server running on a brand new quad core PC that is connected via a gigabyte network to a PS3, and (in another room) a Wii . Since the early beta stages of Playon I have had the same 'not found' error occur somewhat randomly. Usually immideately after a version update and reset things run smooth, but only for a brief time. At least I know its not the hardware malfunctioning now. I am also looking for a dedicated media system for each of my HD TV's. The ideal solution would be something somewhat simple and 'kid friendly' to use. On a side note for those that use Netflix streaming; I would caution anyone from using the Netflix disks for regular use. After a couple of months of using the Netflix streaming disk for the PS3, the constant read/write cycles have all but fried the blue-ray drive on my ps3. I cant wait till the software can be installed on these 'supported' gaming systems.

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 had same problem. Garbage.. I read that it needs updated. But you have to buy the hardware to update it or know someone who has it. I gave up.

I have never had an issue with the game requiring storage on my internal HDD. Just like Tom said, I could see it possibly being an issue if you were near or close to capacity, but I only have about 4 gigs left on mine, and I've never had an issue. Hope that helps.

To be honest, I have no idea why. Mine just took it out of the box and connected my ps4, and the from there my 2 tvs, nothing else connected. Everything it's been working fine.I haven't touched or moved since I installed. Sorry for your issues.

I tried it in my new 4 gig 360 and it wouldn't detect it.....I plugged it into my PS3 and it did...wonder why its not working for my Xbox?

Yes, I've had one installed in my PS4 for three months w/ no problems at all. Just make sure that you download the "full-version" of the PS4 firmware and save to a USB flash drive. Unlike PS3, there are two versions of the firmware files (one for existing upgrades, and one for full-install). http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

if you read my previous comment that was aimed at the ps3. I'm waiting to get a ps4 until they 1. fix existing problems or 2. have actually good game titles out for it. (whatever comes first). So in summary it works for the ps3 and i have no idea about the ps4 yet.
