As the post above states, you have to format the external hard drive to make it work with the PS3.
Here is an excellent article on how to do this: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
That article also contains the download link for a small utility that converts any external hard drive to fat32 format in mere seconds. be advised that converting to fat32 will mean all existing data in the hard drive will be lost!
Also you should try looking in ebay for SATA 2.5" laptop hard drives. I got a 120 gig one for $40.
