I recently got a PS3 Slim, 120GB model, with 4.13 (or was it 4.31?) installed as the last update. I also only just found out there is no way to password protect your User Account on it, and so your games, files, internet history, movies and other things that I want to only be accessible to me.

I know that you can take advantage of the Parental Control system and set it to Level 1set it to Level 1 to restrict browser use, movies and games, but I'm more concerned about my photos and videos on the HDD.

So I thought that I could put them on a USB (the ones I wanted to be accessible to only me) and encrypt it with a passcode, and have it prompt me before opening and exploring.

Is this possible at all?

Also, as a note: I would be open to installing 3rd-party software to do this or similar.

Can encrypted/password protected USB devices be mounted to a PS3 console and be accessed?
