External Drive Format..??

[roryson]

if i were to purchase a External HDD for the PS3 does the drive need to be Fat32 for the drive to be readable. wont there be a conflict with filesize's FAT32 wont allow large files...??

Yeah your right it is a pain and there seems to be no way around it ,We just have to play games with individual files larger than 4GB from the internal drive.
The good thing is I have found that most games DO run of an external drive with no problems

You can format a large HD to Fat32 with a formatter software. This has been posted on here, just search Fat32 you will find it. You can play films larger that 4 gig with a PS3 media Server software. Play games is not that simple.
