Same problem here. I backed up game saves on a flash drive and plan on getting an external for more memory.

Is there a way to backup videos downloaded from PSN, without having to have a PSP?

I have this problem as well. I've got a whole season of Speed Grapher that I don't want to lose, but they total up to like, 8GB, and my memory stick is only 4GB.

Anyone know if I can use a flash drive, or possibly copy th episodes 4GB at a time to a computer, and then back to PS3?

If you need to buy an external to back things up, why not keep it plugged into the USB.

What do you guys do after your done with the external

Its not to hard to exchange the HD's, but if you have to buy an external just buy a big one and keep it in a USB especially if you have a 60gig then you should have an open port
