Status: offline 		I've been trying to use a USB 2.0 Memory Card with my 40GB PS3 but everytime I access it it says "there is no data".  Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work on the PS3?

I was just able to copy and paste a saved game to the USB Device from the PS3 and it shows up when I go to the device.  However everything else is still working the same.

No, go to the USB card itself and then hit the triangle, that will give you the option to "Display All Files".

Click on the memoy card then hit triangle...i think.

It should work. Even if the files aren't compatible, it will say so.

Remember, they HAVE to be in all CAPS.
