Would I be able to save game progress on my ps3 then transfer it to this external harddrive , and then transfer it back so I can continue playing the game?

Yes you can, thats pretty much what we used it for and also to transfer all the old data from the old hard drive to a newer one.

No. The console will only recognize games or games saved on internal hard drive. This insures games can't be copied from an outside source and are GENUINE PS3 purchased games. This external hard drive can store movies and photos that the console can display.

Yes.if you transfer save game data to it then transfer it back it will work,but you will require the same profile.even if it's a different hard disc as long as it has the same profile.

Yes you can. Just plug in a USB drive and copy your game saves onto your USB; that's what I've done for my Fallout 3 saves.

Hey Harold, This is EXACTLY why I bought this drive. It is now sitting between my XB1 and my PS$ and all my games are on the seagate...I am thrilled with this purchase!! Works perfectly!!

Yes, two of the games are are PSN, (Play Station Network). They will download to your hard drive to be played on the PS3 or PSP. I don't play PSP, I have all 5 games at my disposal, 2 of them are on the hard drive.

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.

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

You would absolutely be able to continue! The DLC comes on the disk and all you do is install it onto your system, it will go right along with your saves.

You cannot save your actual Playstation games to the Digistor - only the saved games data. Anything you save to the PS "cloud," such as saved games, can be saved to the Digistor instead. Hope this answers your question.

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.

The WiiU doesn't allow saving games to hard drive. With only a 32GB hard drive, you couldn't get much on there anyway. The WiiU version of this game freezes a lot. I wouldn't try more than 3 missions at a time or you risk the game freezing. The good news is it autosaves each time you exit a hunt. The bad news is you lose anything in the hunt when it freezes. Also, one time I had the game corrupt the save file & had to delete and start from scratch.

You can download the digital games anytime you want it, the only restriction is that it is limitated up to max 3 consoles and the game is associated with the PSN account that used the code to unlock the digital content; if the game is used and the user used the code, you won't be able to download it to your psn account... btw: the game sucks :P (i deleted it)

Sure. Most games use the hard disk. I know some required the disk to make sure you owned the game.

Sorry no I put it in my ps4 and put the ps4 hard drive in my ps3. All I can say is it works great in the ps4.

I have had the same experience with other players. It is part of the copy protection to not allow files to be saved to external drives.

It's when u first put in as new game and it needs to install, that's game data. It's at the top under the game category in the xmb menu. Some save and transfer, but some don't.

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!!!! ^_^
