How to Copy Movies to a PlayStation 3 Hard Drive

The Sony PlayStation 3 comes with an internal hard drive that can hold music, games, photos and movies. Getting movies onto your PS3's hard drive is very simple because of the USB interface that is available with all PS3 models. Copying your movie files from to an external USB drive, and then copying the movie file to your PS3 is a relatively easy process, and will help turn your PS3 into a home theater center, and not just a video game console.
