[edit] Third-Party Memory Cards
This entry, "Third-party memory cards are, however, not recognized.[26]", while properlly sourced, doesn't ring true. I have the official Sony Memory Card Adapter, while my friends have a yellow MadCatz PS2 memory card and a transparent blue Pelican (I think, know for sure it isn't First-Party) PS2 memory card, and both of them have transferred saves to and from my PS3 with no problem... In truth, my official Sony PS2 black memory card has given me grief once, while these cards have moved the files flawlessly. Don't know if it was updated with firmware upgrade or what, but if someone else can verify this for me so I can remove this entry, it'd be great.--208.104.151.47 (talk) 12:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hard Drive replacement
What size (physical dimensions) drive does the PS3 use? --24.249.108.133 21:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- The PlayStation 3 uses a standard 2.5" notebook HDD with SATA interface.(Myscrnnm 20:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC))
Anyone have information on speeds i.e. does it take SATA300 and/or a 7200 RPM drive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.119.109.146 (talk) 16:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- The PlayStation 3 accepts HDDs of any rotational speed.(Myscrnnm 05:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC))
We should probably add this to the entry as well changing drives does not void the warranty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.200.76 (talk) 16:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] USB Drives
They need to be formatted as FAT32 but what allocation unit size will be needed? --The Virginian 02:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Allocation meaning in megabyes? I don't think it matters --Vdub49 05:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VCD?
Is the VCD entry in the playable discs section true? Because the PlayStation 2 did not support VCDs. --Jack Zhang 05:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Verified that it is not true. VCD files are supported (if the .dat in MPEGAV is renamed to .mpg). But not the discs, the console does not recognize the .dat files. --Jack Zhang (talk) 07:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Flops rating based on a fully fledged cell?
Im not sure about this, but the flops rating for the cell was based on a cell with 8 SPE's not the 7 (six useable only) the PS3's cell has, i'll give you the link to the site I got the info from, if its enough proof you can choose to change the value or leave it, just thought you all might want to know
