Can I move ps3 game saves from one ps3 to another without a usb flash drive?

portable hard drive use on ps3 image

bryan k

I'm trying to play on my brothers ps3 with saves from my ps3. Is there a way to do this without switching harddrives, using a flash drive, or memory card? Will a cd work? How bout a portable hard drive? If not, anything else?

Answer
you can use a portable hard drive, but it has to be formatted for the ps3, so if you have anything on your hd you should back them up to your computer, move the info from one ps3 to the other and then reformat the hd to your pc and transfer your data back to it from your pc.

How to transfer files to and from PS3?

How does one go about backing up files on one's PS3 onto a portable hard drive? I also would like to know if it is possible to transfer files such as music and video from an external hard drive to a PS3.

Answer
Go to system settings and then there is a backup utility. Select it and choose backup. Takes roughly a half hour give or take.

Yes you can transfer files from an external hard drive to the PS3. I do this all the time as I can't keep all of my music on the PS3 (I only have a 40 GB). It just needs to be in formats supported by the PS3. Music, PS3 will read MP3, WMA, and AAC. Video is primarily MP4 and MPEG.
