You could also connect an external USB HDD that you want + HDMI output! $399~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 The dvd player i bought was US$50, no regrets at all and its region free etc... Does the PS3 play .iso files from a USB attached HDD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO files are extracted on PCs only! When you connect an external USB drive to the PS3, It basically turns into your multuimedia storage; i.e. music, video, pictures and games!

ajoesmith Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I know what .iso files are but seeing that all my movies are .iso's (dont want to open them all to vob and ifo files) then i need to know if the PS3 will play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It played all the DVD files I extracted to the the USB drive (750GiG)! BTW: The USB drive must be formatted in FAT32. It does not recognize NTFS!

hiker01 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 the PS3 doesnt recognize NTFS? thats crapp Yup! But I don't see anything wrong with that! I guess they didn't expect people to connect a terabyte external USB Drive to it! There's a way around it! I just can't remeber the formatting program I used right now!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
