NTFS is a Microsoft trade secret and you have to license it through their Intellectual Property Licensing program to redistribute it on third-party hardware. Since PS3 is competing directly with their hardware platform, and NTFS accesses files faster than FAT32, it’s in their best interests not to license it out.

If I had a PS3, I’d put Ubuntu on it, just for shits and giggles. That’s just my :blanyer: .

But in any case, I’m off topic. 250GB PS3 ftw.
