Sony - PS3 HDD Expansion - View Post

One of my problems with the PS3 is the way it accesses the external drive. Now it is a nice feature which not even the 360 can do, but the drive has to be FAT32, and you can only access files that are two file levels deep at most. I organize my stuff very well (by seasons, subfolders, etc.), which doesn't translate well to the PS3 interface. It makes them inacessible unless i go back to my PS3 and dick around with it.

Regardless, it is still useful, although I must say the Divx and Xvid support hasn't been as good as I hoped. Better than nothing though and I expect it to only get better.

I believe you can connect an external HDD to a 360 as well and do similar things. My room mate says he does it and many of the movies he has on his hard drive play on his 360 while they don't on my PS3.
