I'm looking into getting a PS3 and I have a few questions.

1. Does the PS3 work with a USB hub such as this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W9IDV2?

2. Can the PS3 use an external harddrive

Any help would be appreciated

1. Yes, this hub should work fine. 2. Yes... it needs to be formatted to FAT32. Also, the HDD in the PS3 is removable... therefore you can upgrade it if you like. The PS3 uses a 2.5" HDD (laptop size), and it's recommended that you stick with 5400rpm to avoid any overheating. IMO, changing the HDD in the PS3 is a more efficient way to get more space.

Yes with any USB hub. I use a 13 port hub with a power supply.

Yes the PS3 will use an external HDD through the USB port.
