I went to download the Madden Demo and it said I didn't have enough space left...so I was wondering does PS3 use the cloud or something similar to free up space on the system?

You do get 3GB of cloud storage with a PS Plus membership, but I'm not sure what you can use that for besides game saves. You can attach an external hard drive to give yourself more space. If you're thinking in terms of freeing up space by deleting any demos or PSN games you've bought, you can delete them and redownload them at another time if you want, they'll stay in your purchase/download history. |

Thanks. My wife had picked up a portable external hard drive two Christmases ago that we never used that I thought I would try. But when I tried it on Monday the PS3 wasn't registering it when I plug it in. |

External drives have to be formatted to FAT32 for the PS3 to register them -- out of the box, the drive is probably formatted as NTFS. If you plug it into a PC and format it as FAT32, the PS3 will read it. |

You'll also have to go in and recreate the folders so the system knows where to put things. I ended up finding a walk through online to help. It will pretty much only let you save game saves, music, pictures and videos to the external. |

It doesn't work. When we went to format the portable hard drive it didn't have a FAT32 option just an exFAT...so we did that. But the PS3 won't recognize it.

Also down the road you can always change your hard drive. I have an older version and had the same problem so I looked and transferred all my game data to an external then bought a half a terrabyte laptop hard drive and replaced it and transferred data back.
