Depends not all external HDD's are compatible with the PS3 this is something you should check before loading any games onto it.

You can use external and internal so it's all good.

Sure what size are you looking for?

I personally have a 2TB but that is loaded with blu rays as well so you probably wont need one that big Happy

I would suggest Verbatim External Hard Drives and that is because everyone I have, have never failed, broke, or had any problems.

You can probably find them cheaper on Amazon and eBay and things so I did a search for you Smile

If you wanted and had a few spare HDD's lying around you could just get a caddy and use your own HDD's.

Might be a carry on but saves you money and get's them used.

Just buy an external hdd, then partition it so you have FAT32. I think there was a way for NTFS but I'm doing it this way and it works. When it has the FAT32 format, make a folder "GAMES" on the root, and put your games in there, they will load in multiMan!
Note* FAT32 doesn't support files >4GB so you might have to split them.

im guessing you are a new zealand so check trade me they have lots, any usb connected hard drive should work, you will just need to convert it to fat32
