Question about Photos and the PS3

[Xhominid]

Yeah, I know this question was asked possibly months ago, but since I suck badly at actually checking every little chance I have, I just want to plan ask it here:

Is there any way past needing a USB Drive to pluck the photos off the PS3 to the PC at all? I know of ways to stream photos and stuff to the PS3 to the PC, but I thought the IPhone could do the inverse, but no dice...

So is there a way or do I need to start saving cash for a USB Stick or take photos from an IPhone/Camera and do it that way?

Sorry, just bringing this up again, because I seriously want to know if its possible without a USB stick.

I don't think anything other than a stick or portable hard drive would work. I remember my disappointment that I couldn't use my iPhone. Android probably can, but eww. Other than that, I don't know.

But USB sticks aren't that expensive, I picked up an 8 GB one for $9 and the pics don't take much space.

Can get a USB flash drive for cheap these days. I've seen a 64GB drive for $30, and as Violyre said, can get 8GB for as cheap as $9 depending where you look. Can get smaller drives for even cheaper than that.

As for streaming, I don't think you can do it from the PS3 to your computer or phone the way you want to. I've never heard of a way to do it at least, though it's been quite some time since I actually looked up PS3 streaming (I have streamed to my PS3, never the other way around aside from like streaming a PS1 Classic to my PSP screen, which is pointless). A USB flash drive is probably the easiest way to do it anyhow.

I remember my disappointment that I couldn't use my iPhone. Android probably can, but eww.

Android can't (at least Kit Kat can't from my one time plugging my phone into my PS3). Also eww iOS.

Well there is a way via media share if you're using a network router.

Well there is a way via media share if you're using a network router.

I don't think I have one though, just have a wireless router.
