How to Hook a PS3 to WorldBook

The Western Digital World Book external hard drive is designed to allow users to access the hard drive's contents over a wireless network. The hard drive appears as a media server on Sony's PlayStation 3 entertainment system, allowing you to watch movies, view photos and listen to music on your television without connecting the hard drive directly into one of the PS3's USB ports. To connect your Western Digital World Book to your PS3, you must simply connect the external hard drive to your wireless router and connect your PS3 to your wireless network.
