The main draw back to FAT32 is that it has a 4 gig file size limitation:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463I believe MC Tyler is Mr. Video like myself and meant to say NTFS not NTSC, though maybe it makes sense that FAT32 would hang with PAL while NTFS and NTSC would get along famously. Thanks for the swiss knife link! Anyone know of a way to schedule my PS3 to play certain vids at certain times?

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

PS3 (last i checked) only reads flash drives and hard drives formated in FAT32, not NTSC. Large hard drives come formatted in NTSC, and windows XP and vista will not format large hard drives into NTSC, so you have to download other software on your comp in order to format your hard drive to fat32. Then it will read music, video, pics that are the correct file types that PS3 can read. Also system update your ps3 so it can read as many files as possible. Download this program to format: http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm

I will move files between my PS3 and Computer using this device. So I will say it will work as an SSD. I will mention for the sake of conversation that it will not accept files larger than 4gb if you have it formatted with anything other than FAT32. My PS3 only reads NTSC formatting so it wont see anything with it if its FAT32. Saying that, of course, if its just purposed as an SSD then it will work fine for you and will hold files of any size as long as you format the CF card with FAT32. Hope this helps.

Sorry no I put it in my ps4 and put the ps4 hard drive in my ps3. All I can say is it works great in the ps4.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

The best thing to do is format the memory stick that you have, also check to see if there actually is enough space on that stick. My solution was formatting it to a file that the PS3/PSP will be able to read.

Sorry, not worth it for the ps3 since very few games would take advantage of it, especially so late in the PS3's life cycle. Also, the PS3's blu-ray drive is extremely slow (2xCAV) compared to the PS4's so it would bottleneck the SSHD anyway. It might be worth it if you only play digital games though.

yep, that what I was afraid of but I did see that the PS3 will play SA-CD and output it as DTS over HDMI...hmmm....another reason to get a PS3

Mine ONLY works with my PS3. No other hardware device will recognize it now. It happened all of a sudden. If anybody knows why that might be, please let me know.

i have a question regarding the SD card integration. Can you play files (audio and video) on the SD card directly or you have to move them to the internal memory before you can play them? Thank you

I wouldn't recommend using this for a ps3 I'd go get an external bar drive for it. This is an internal and it could mess it up

The answer to both question is that it depends on the TV. I use USB drives to store digital video files that I play through a "media player" that is connected to the TV. It decodes the video files and transmits a standard HDMI signal to the TV, so from the TV's "perspective" it's the same as a cable box, Blu-Ray player, and so on. It has its own user interface with menus and so on, and it comes with a remote with all the standard playback features. There are a number of these type devices available for under $100, some well under. The last I knew, no TV would read raw digital video directly from a USB drive. Most recently-made TVs can read audio and image files (mp3, jpg, etc.) directly from USB but not full video. I haven't been in the TV marker for a couple of years, so this may have changed. As for FAT32, you can definitely format the drive that way if you want, but I doubt any current digital player would prefer this file system. Everything I've seen requires NTFS, which has been the standard for several years now.

I'm planning to get the Momentus XT for Christmas but I need some reassurance from someone who has owned this drive for a at least a year in their PS3 and has upgraded to SD28 (Latest firmware) because I really do want to get it, it's cheap for what it is and what it does which makes a perfect buy, however if it's going to have problems later down the road then I might have to reconsider, I've heard some good stuff and I heard some bad stuff about it, but I just really need to be sure before taking the plunge to buying it.

I've recently seen reference to a model number PS3-CDN. Is this different from the PS3 or just some type of manufacturer's model number for the same product? Thanks.

Few questions1080 60p is not part of the AVCHD standard, it only goes as high as 1080 60iWas the AVCHD standard modified to now accept 1080 60p?Or is Sony using a proprietary format?I exclusively use the PS3 to playback my videos that I store on a USB external drive.Will the 1080 60p footage from this camera playback on a PS3?The previous model CX550 could not capture pictures while shooting video at the highest bit rate, is this still the case?Thanks for your input.

Don't know if I understand question but my husband uses his to check his game cameras. So he put the SDcard in viewer and looks at pictures. If he has pictures he wants to look at closer then he put empty SD card in camera and goes on. Hope that helps.
