OK, I'm dangerously close to buying a ps3, and i was just wondering about the memory system. I plan on buying the 60 gig, and I know you can save games on the hard drive. But I heard somewhere that you can also save games on a Flash drive. I'm not sure, but isn't a flash drive those little memory sticks that plug into USB ports on most electronics? I heard you can save games on those. But someone else told me that you have to buy a ps3 memory card, which i've never seen before and doubt they even make any. So can someone please tell me as much as you can about the memory situation?

The reason you haven't seen those PS3 memory cards is because they're not made, you don't need them. All game saves are done on the internal Hard Drive. Yes you can copy your saved information over to a flash drive, if need be, in fact that's one of the ways they (Sony) actually advises you can do system updates as well. Download the file from your computer onto flash drive and load it onto the PS3.

PS3 uses regular 2.5" SATA 5400RPM HDD. Flash sticks, memory cards or external HDDs are used only for backup purposes or if you want to transfer save files or media files between other PS3 systems and PCs.
