What happens when your hard drive gets full, can you move your downloaded ps3 games you got from the playstation store to an external hard drive thats connected to the ps3 via usb? kinda like the same with the Wii but with the SD card. or do you have to delete some to make room which would suck balls.

Its not full I never said it was, I am just wondering as I just downloaded a game from the PS3 Store and thought "What happens if I feel this Hard Drive up with games" Seeing that Sony will keep putting games on there, I am not talking about demos that will be deleted but Full Games and PS1 games when they come.

Surely something can be done as if we all keep getting games the 60GB Hard Drive is not gonna last forever. I dont really wanna delete a game and have to download it again just to play it even if its free to get again. The Wii has it worked out, does the PS3?

Just plug in an external HDD like you suggested in the first post of this thread, say a 300GB external, save all games to that drive instead of the internal HDD when you are prompted for the download.

Problem solved.

So when they install they will be running of the External Hard Drive right? Will this work ok? Has anyone tried it?

You can't run downloaded games off your external HDD. Do what ectozar is suggesting, that seems to be the best way.

But if you save them to the External Hard Drive when prompted wont it then install on the External Hard Drive? I thought my above post was what ectozar said. Just seems to me, if you download the game to your external Hard Drive once you go to install it, it will install on that hard drive being the external hard drive am I right?

I think he meant that PS3 saved games can be saved. Well I could be wrong, just try and google it, might help
