so what format will be needed to play homebrews and how can we use this format? plus do i need a fat32 format hardrive or is that all hard drives do?

so i just need a external or internal (with drive enclosure) harddrive with a 2speed usb lead and connect to ps3 to play homebrew when iso loader is out?

Use your brains- until a way to play PS3 homebrew (non-Linux) or PS3 iSOs is public you kids are going to have to wait like everyone else. This is why nobody is answering you- I advise you NOT to reply again until such time, consider this a friendly warning.

As for where to store them until such time- nobody cares, so get a clue. Just use any method you wish, or don't collect them until a Loader is out.

There's no opening of the case involved in PS3 hard drive installation. Sony included a little hard drive door, and it is totally within the warranty rights to change hard drives that way.


Hmm, this thread may be obsolete, CES brought the announcement of 500-1000 GB laptop SATA drives! Woo!

the ps3 reads fat32, use swiss knife (check the sticky) to format external drives.
