Yeah it will do. I have an original 80GB PS and I purchase a lot of anime videos and it takes up a lot of memory. The external hard drive is great for backing up videos and music. The downside is that it doesn't back up games or game add-ons. If you need extra memory, this is it for you.

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

I had the unit with my original 20gig and it worked fine. Then I upgraded the the Slim and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to the latest firmware and ..... wait for it..... it works just fine ;-) I dont know about everyone else, but mine works just fine. I find it ironic that I am controlling my PS3 Slim with my Xbox 360 Harmony remote ;-)

Yes it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

Yes, I have the 750GB in my PS3. Works like a champ. I am thinking of switching it out and using it in my PS4.

I don't know. I used it for my PS3 so I reformatted to it and it said it I was at 30.something GB. I think it needs a memory of what device its currently being used for. Try reformatting it.

No it won't. It needs special software to activate the 1TB partition. PS4 would only see 120GB.

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

Yes, there is no reason it will not fit in your ps3 just as the 80 GB does.

I too have a suoer slim 500 gb. Playstation 3. I rarely encountered any framerate issues. a couple of times when things got really crazy but not enough to take away from the fun I had playing the game.

I've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.

Hi Denise! It will only work with the Xbox 360 Slim model and would be ok to use with the 4gb of memory that you already have. My son's Xbox 360 Slim has 3gb, a USB memory stick and now this and so far all is working nicely. Hope this helps.

I don't know. If your ps3 has sound but it does not work and you have a usb port to plug this into it might.Al

Yes. Theres no difference in requirements for hard drives between ps3 vs slim model

Just to clarify everything. This WILL work in your PS4 just fine. You have to have a flash USB drive to insert the firmware update onto this hard drive after installation. This WILL NOT work on PS3. However, my suggestion to you is to simply wait for next month as Nyko is releasing a tech that replaces the 2.5 inch hard drive casing with a casing that will work with a 3.5 inch hard drive, that can handle up to 6 Terabytes. I already have a 4 Terabyte SSD hybrid ready. That would be the best bet. My terabyte SSD filled up months ago. Two Terabytes really isn't enough if you play a lot of games.

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
