external optical drives? - Blu-ray Forum

Do external optical drives work with PS3 cos I'm thinking of buying a external USB blu-ray/DVD/CD rom combo drive for my PS3. Mainly so I can be more lazy lol

No.

Hmm, could a future firmware update allow this? Or would it work with YDL?

Shin-Ra · 02-13-2008, 04:00 AM

Yes and yes, but the former is unlikely.

Well my PS3s on one side of the room and I'm on the other with my BD/DVD/games it would just make life alot easier cos i wouldn't have to get up all the time as I'm constantly switching discs.

I hate getting up. Does that make us the laziest humans on earth?

It would be useful if we could use a DVD burner with a PS3.
