just fyi I believe that install files and game saves cannot be put onto an external HDD. Only music, photos and such. I could be wrong tho. Saves can but you can't load them from the external HDD and run it.

hmm well the thing about the external hdds is that you cant store demos or game install data on it so its really only good for movies,music,pictures ect

uhhhhhhhhhhhh thats what I want it for... I think my 60 gigs is enough for my games.... i need all the extra room for my extra stuff....

I dont see why people just use this to store game stuff anyway... that really confuses me

I hear how people complain about how proud they are that they use their PS3 to just play games... I'm like uh why... it has all these other abilities why not USE them. I am not directing this at you I am just saying that really urks me.

I am proud to say that my Ps3 is not a gaming console... I consider it a multimedia device... that just so happens to play PS3 games.
