The ps3 will automatically format it then after that it is good to go. Save all you data on a thumb drive or if you have playstation plus you can save it all online

No when u put it in the PS3 it will say the ps3 needs an update and it will update the game

I installed this drive in a PS3, that transferred the PS3 system, you would need to transfer the one system you need.

No, but it worked pretty good on my ps4. I'm pretty sure it should work on a ps3 too. Just get the latest ps3 firmware on a usb to reinstall the ps3 OS. If you have issues with that, there's plenty of videos on youtube about that.

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

I downloaded The Evil Within on mine. It requires Hard drive download and it runs and saves perfectly

Who knows, but I just cleaned two games that wouldn't read in the player, and they're working now. I think it depends on like mentioned, if the users are following the directions exactly, and also how badly damaged/scratched the discs are. I'm sure there's some that just won't fix, and well, we all know, you can't fix stupid.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

K. Khoeasa,You just need to make sure the SDHC card is formatted as FAT32 or the PS3 will not read it. Some SDHC cards come preformatted as FAT (ie FAT16), such as the SanDisk Extreme III that I bought :-)

I'm not sure. My ps3 had just quit playing br. Wouldn't acknowledge that there was a disk present. If your need of a good cleaner I would buy it and try it.

I'd also like to know if this is compatible with the PS3. I've googled it but I've found different views on this. Thanks!

Yes, I've had one installed in my PS4 for three months w/ no problems at all. Just make sure that you download the "full-version" of the PS4 firmware and save to a USB flash drive. Unlike PS3, there are two versions of the firmware files (one for existing upgrades, and one for full-install). http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/

Hey there, I used it and it worked great! I had a bunch of different error messages, and it would take sometimes 30-60 minutes to get a game to read beforehand. I used the disk cleaner and it worked perfectly. I let it do it's process a few times just to be sure, and was SO happy when I realized it fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.

Installing a game, Idk, but I do know from experience that it is not formated like a normal hard drive is, and will need someone with advanced programing experience for some features to work.

Not sure it is formatted for PS3 as a Fat 32 flashdrive. I would just use a 2TB samsung internal drive for a little more $ personally
