How to Transfer Photos to a PlayStation 3

The PlayStation 3 is essentially a media center disguised as a video game console. While many people buy the PS3 to play video games, the system can also play movies and music, display pictures, and store a wealth of information. The PS3 also has USB slots, which means you can connect USB flash drives and transfer over files, such as pictures. As long as you first copy the pictures to the USB device, you'll have no problem transferring them over to the PS3.
