Yes you can. Just plug in a USB drive and copy your game saves onto your USB; that's what I've done for my Fallout 3 saves.

Probably... read this article, it can help explain how."http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3/How-to-use-a-USB-external-Hard-Drive-on-your-PS3/td-p/14303247&q;uot;

Actually the ps3 games can not be downloaded directly to an external disk. Even if you do, probably the file system can not handle it. I suggest you try it with another external drive before buying this.

Have at least 2 copies of your files. Preferably 1 offsite in case of physical damage to your living quarters. I personally have an external drive that I use as the backup to my internal drive. Most important thing is to have redundancy regardless of what you use (CDs can scratch/go bad, USB sticks can have the NAND go bad etc etc.). If you have 2 copies, you're good to go unless you have some disaster destroy your place. If offsite storage isn't a possibility, a firebox is a decent alternative.

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

I don't think so. I think the Playstation only uses USB for additional storage.

In one of the reviews for this flash drive, someone does say they use it for their Xbox 360 but it seems a little slow to save games...

In short, your answer is yes. While formatting the drive, the console may display a statement about perfomance issues. Most probably pertaining to the USB drive's read/write speeds. In my personal experience, writing to the drive is average, albeit a little slow. Reading from the drive, I have yet to see any issues in using this exact USB drive.

I bought the 16 gb scandisk that said "xbox" on it, it worked fine. to save money I bought a regular scandisk , also 16gb, and it seems to work fine also. I think any flashdrive would work, as long as it fits in the usb port

If u mean can u save something else other than the back up for ur playstation on the Digistor?? I had the ps3 firmware and backup file on this hardrive when i did the firmware and hardrive upgrade for my ps4 so as long as the files have the right name i believe u can but i would advice not to have anything else to confuse your playstation system..but yes u can have something else..

I have never owned a PS3, so i can't answer your question. You could google it or check on You Tube.

You can get a hard drive bay for about 60 bucks that will hold one of these (or more if it is a more expensive bay) and you can connect it to the playstation via usb.

Unfortunately you cannot. This is strictly a backup device. You can't even veiw whats on the drive from your PS3 it only shows each save as a file number usually including the date the save is made in with the sequence of numbers. You can delete older saves and apply previous saves through your PS3 backup utility that's about it. MAD

This is an external DVD/burner/CD player for computers. PS3 has its own drive.

No. Only the very first PS3s sold had that feature. All systems now can only play PS3 disks however the Sony online store allows you to purchase and download many PS1 and PS2 games to your PS3 and okay them that way. But you may be purchasing games you already own disk versions of (unfortunately).

I think it should be a direct USB connection because it won't understand multiple external USB HHD or flash drives as multiple storages. It only works with a single storage device and it is really slow over network connections anyways. I tried 8GB flash drive and successfully set it up and used my PS3 to view its media/video files but if I want to fast-forward, it will fail sometimes. Also, the wireless connection will just get lost.

Im not familiar with PS4 system, but it works just like any other flash drive. May need to be formatted with PS4.
