Non game files are easy to download into a USB drive. Just use the controller options key over the file you want to download which they might call copy and have the USB dive plugged into the USB port.

You can't move memory space from object to object, but you can use the USB drive to hold items from your PS3's storage to make space. Just move saved files from the PS3 hard drive to the USB drive to do that.

How do you connect storage media at the save destination?

If it is for a PS3 system, you can put in a flash drive, a disk (and download it onto your hard drive), or something like that. You use these from a computer that already has the media (music, videos, etc.) and onto your PS3. Hope that helps! ;)


Is there a way to get ps3 games off the internet and put them on a usb drive?

It will not do any good. The PS3 USB port will not allow the items to download into the games files of the harddrive. So you could not play them in your PS3 after you downloaded and transferred them to your harddrive. The PS3 is designed to prevent internet piracy and getting a download off the internet to play in your PS3 is piracy.So is trying to copy the game on another disc whether you purchased and kept the original game or have just rented or borrowed the game it is still copyright theft.


Can fallout 3 be coped onto a thumb drive and then played on a different ps3?

The game itself cannot be copied onto a thumb drive. In order to play Fallout 3 on another PS3, you need to take the original game disc and insert it into the second PS3. After the game installs, you will be able to play Fallout 3 on either PS3, so long as you have the game disc inserted. You can, however, transfer Fallout 3 save files to a thumb drive and transfer the individual save files between two PS3s. On the XMB (Cross Media Bar) go the Games section, and select the icon which says Saved Data Utility. Find your Fallout 3 save file and hit triangle. Select copy with the thumb drive (labeled as USB drive on the PS3) as your destination. After this is done, you can remove the thumb drive and switch it to the second PS3. On the second PS3, again go the Games section of the XMB. Choose the Saved Data Utility, but instead of scrolling to find a game, find the USB Drive icon and press triangle. Copy the save file you want from the thumb drive to your second PS3, and you should be good to go.
