portable hard drive playstation 3 image
Josh D
So i got a 40gb ps3 and i've been seeing all these things about hooking up portable external hard drives and formatting them to FAT32. If i do this and my ps3 reads it, can i save like full games on the HDD and then be able to play them on my ps3. Or save demos that i downloaded from PSN and the save them to the external drive?
Answer
Next to my PS3 I have a external hard drive formatted in FAT32. There I can store all my music, videos and photos. Game trailers, music soundtracks, etc downloaded from psn can be downloaded to a external hard drive.
Unfortunately It is not possible to store any game content on this external hard drive. Games you buy in store will make a game data utility on you PS3 hard drive. Also games that you download like full purchased games, demos, downloadable content etc from the psn store will also be downloaded and installed on your PS3 hard drive.
I use my external HDD as a media center. Here I store all my music, videos (divx and such) and music. This to reserve as much space as I can for games, demos and downloadable content. If you want to format an external HDD lager than 32gb you should find someone with a Mac. Mac OSX can format all sizes of hard drives to a windows FAT32 format.
If you run out of disk space, you can consider buying a 2.5" laptop hard drive and replace it with your 40gb PS3 hard drive. More information on replacing hard drives here.

Can you watch movies in .avi format on a ps3 that are saved on a portable hard drive?

I was getting movies that are in .avi format and putting them on a portable hard drive and was watching them on my xbox 360. I was thinking of switching to a ps3 and was wondering if you can watch them on the playstation 3???
Answer
Yeah, you can. The good thing about the PS3 is that it supports way more audio and video formats than the Xbox 360, which is great if you have a diverse media library, but a horrible problem is that it can't read NTFS-formatted hard drives, only FAT, which sucks.
