How to Put a Memory Stick in a PS3

The Sony memory stick is used to store data that can be read by a PS3, but while all PS3s can read the data, only the first two models came with a built-in memory stick storage slot. To use a memory stick with one of the PS3s being sold today requires the addition of an inexpensive Media Hub. This device attaches to the PS3 and has a memory stick storage slot. Attaching a Media Hub to the PS3 is quick and doesn't affect the warranty or alter the PS3 in any way.
