Storage Media Troubleshooting

If the PLAYSTATION®3 does not recognize the storage media:

  • Check that the media is inserted correctly.
  • If the storage media is formatted (initialized) on a PC, the PLAYSTATION®3 may not recognize it. After copying the required data to a PC, try reformatting the media on the PLAYSTATION®3.
  • There may be a problem with the media in use. Try using another media that is compatible with the PLAYSTATION®3.
  • Some media may have region or territorial restrictions and may not work with your system. See media packaging for details.
  • Use of certain storage media are available only on the PLAYSTATION®3 60GB model.
