Media Storage Devices for PS3?

Sometimes when browsing the web on my PS3 i try to click on a video and it says, "Insert Media Storage Device"

What kind of Device are they talking about? And where would I get one? Which ones work the best? Which How much will it cost me?

It only happens sometimes though. Sometimes it downloads to my harddrive and replays just fine.

    When the screen says, "Insert Media Storage Device", you need to insert a USB drive, or any of the Digital Camera memory card slots ( SD card, Memory Stick).

    You can get a 1GB USB drive for maybe $25- $30 dollars from an electronics store such as Best Buy, or go in the electronics section in stores like Target, and Wal-Mart.

    Also, the only PS3's that have the Digital Camera memory card slots are is the 60GB and 80GB PS3. But all PS3's have USB drive slots.

    It potential you attempt to receive a document and the PS3 needs you to inform it the position to positioned it. If runescape makes use of an applet that calls for a plug-in that the PS3 don't have it really is going to take care of it as a receive, fairly than attempt to run it.

    Probably best to plug in your psp's memory stick (if you have one of course) or another one of the memory sticks that the PS3 has slots for. Or, if you have one, you could try an external hard drive that can be plugged in. These are all just guesses though since this has never happened to me. Hope this helps.
