Transfering data(videos, music etc) with ps3

[geezuzkhrist119]

is there an easier way to move videos and music from my computer to my ps3without using a sd card or gigstick?

i was thinking maybe a male to male usb plug would work but i dont have one to test so im unsure

Well if you only want your PS3 to have access to those files, streaming them as a media server may work better. I've never done that, but I have a friend who has a server set up to stream things to his PS3.

I'd assume a male to male USB connector would only work if your computer was acting like a flash drive/external harddrive.

As you asked for the easiest way to move, I'd say it is still the flash drive. If you want to move a lot at a time, invest in an external harddrive. Alternatively, you could just use an external harddrive to hold all your stuff and have your PS3 access directly from it.

with the recent update, according to playstation.com, you can move files from one ps3 to another with an ethernet cable. you should read the site incase i am wording something wrong.
