What will the full amount of space be once formatted to a ps3 super slim system? Total of Gigs once the ps3 system formats it?

The maximum drive you can put in any playstation is 1tb. For external drives, it will read up to 2tb. Of course with external, you can partition a 4tb drive into 2x2tb; which will also work. But to answer your question, The drive is 931gb, no matter what kind of format is used on it. After putting a 1tb in my ps3 slim, formatting, and restoring about 25gb of save data, I had a little over 800gb free. So I would approximate about 825gb with a fresh start.

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

Each drive will always be a bit different, as no two drives will have the exactly the same free space. Mine is 931GB

No it won't. It needs special software to activate the 1TB partition. PS4 would only see 120GB.

It's very near the full 120 gb, yes. Although I thought the console supported up to 32 gb flash memory sticks. Be warned. I'm on my second of these hard drives and both failed on me. I hate the $/gb ratio of the official drive, but not sure about the reliability of going after market. YMMV

The ps3 will automatically format it then after that it is good to go. Save all you data on a thumb drive or if you have playstation plus you can save it all online

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

This hard drive works in any model of ps3 and is very easy to install and has PLENTY of room. I have 650 gigs left of space. You will need to be the install kit also but it is cheap.

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.

.Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no. You think like me. I planned to do that myself but the data on the external has to be downloaded to the PS3 in order to work. I bought a 1T hard drive to replace the 250GB that I had and love it. I believe it was under $100 and extremely easy to do. Currently, I have 54 games and well over300 hours of video not to mention music and photos and still have 470GB free for future downloads. I back things up on the external to be safe but am happy with it. Of course it comes with a price to do that but considering the cost of downloads, it pays for itself. .Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no.

Not sure what the drive specs are for the PS3, but if it uses a 2.5" drive like this one, then it should fit just fine.

Like Jennifer said less than 1 gb. However, you can add (buy) up to a 32gb micro sd card for games, music, etc. Therefore, that should be more than enough.

that depends of your needs, because if u used to download every game that u play so u need 500gb, but 320 works perfect

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.

No, its not already formatted. But its extremely simple to format. You just need a flash drive that is formatted to FAT32 which you can do under the properties for the flash drive. Then you create 2 separate folders on the flash drive and download the update from PlayStation website. There are tons of YouTube videos that can show you step by step how to do it.

I too have a suoer slim 500 gb. Playstation 3. I rarely encountered any framerate issues. a couple of times when things got really crazy but not enough to take away from the fun I had playing the game.

the "8gbs" is really just for stuff you downloadso unless you download all your games, it should not be a problem
