Does it back up game files?

It should. But game files take up a lot of memory. Not a gamer, but I'd aim for a larger storage device if a . Like 1 terabyte, but depends on ham many games, what games, etc. At the time I bought this, Amazon did have a larger device- since I don't have a lot of files (mostly pics), I opted for this one. Love it!!!

Yes it does, for a ps3 slim it works great for saving profile games saved games and pictures. It takes a fee minutes to figure out how but once you do its very easy

Now that is a good question but i would say no just because it says you need a "hard drive" to play that game/download that game

Yes. Game files and be saved/exported in *.pgn format as well as fritz/chessbase (*.cbh) formats.

No, the game itself requires more than what the computer system can handle. I would get an external hard drive and put it on the hard drive that is external.

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.

I don't believe so since it never ask me for one. It just uses the internal that is there. the only reason I can think of why it would require an additional hard drive is if your drive is full. you might want to check that and delete any old saves you don't need any longer.

Yes, you can back up the applications, but why would you want to do that if you have the original software. Even if you do back up an application like MS Office you will probably have to reinstall it. I don't think it will run from the Seagate drive. At least, that's my understanding.

Yes, it does but you have to plug it in to computer to upgrade firmware. It has a lot of old games but lack of new games such as Pokemon X, Y,.... etc. I suggest you buy game save better than action cheat.

No it does not. It is basically a player loaded down with a bunch of my favorite old games.

Nope! Everything is on the disk. One of the great things about GotY games is they come packed with everything ready to go.

He cant add new games to this. He needs a new internal hard drive. This can backup his saves though

It should, I bought it to back up my PS3 since I have a 1 TB inside. I formatted it to FAT32 using a program (because you can't do it regularly) and it backed up perfectly.

Yes, this hard drive will be able to hold any game install up to 250 GB. I've installed battle field 3 and it works fine.

One of the options is an incremental backup, only backing up new files or changed files. But I haven't tried to restore anything, so I don't actually know how well it does.

Nope! You'll actually have the option of transferring all your game data from the Xbox storage to the new HDD. But even if you choose not to, none of your progress or achievements are erased.

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.

I do not know the space requirements for that game, but you can look at the back of the game case or google your question. Either way you will use up that 12gb really fast with system updates, game updates, and save files so i would still invest in a internal hard drive. Not an external hard drive as you cannot play your games off of the external.
