I understand this article is a little old but if, like me, others are doing research on this subject, I wouldn't want them to have false information...
1. The PS3 can and does recognise and play content from USB devices. Simply plug it in, find the device under PHOTO/MUSIC/VIDEO and then press Triangle, and choose Open rather than pressing X and looking for media in the usual manner. This works with several devices including iPod. 2. Streming media is possible with the latest Firmware update. I've tried it connected to a PC running both Nero MediaHome and Windows Media Player 11 and have to say its tempremental at best with Nero but works a treat with the Microsoft option.
hey guys,
just reading this infor above make me interested that if there was any testing done on ps3 before writing all the above. just to give you a little info on the above concern, i have setup my PS3 With the latest updated vr 1.8, i can do as the following:- - streaming media from My computer to PS3 on LAN, Wireless mode .. - it aquires all the info by itself (ip, subnet, default gateway and dns) - i m running a 1 gig lan connection from my computer to PS3 souly because the streaming was too laggy on my wireless. - i am running Windows Media Player 11 in sharring and nero 7.9 Home Media. - as far as the sharing gose my network is working perfect and as per the system gose i have to say only on word .. charming .. PS3 is so easy to setup and easy to work with .. it is surely a perfectly designed machine .. i have been told that xbox 360 is doing wonders but in comparision to the ps3 i dont thing xbox stand a chance .. well thats from me .. i m still doing some more testing and will drop in if i found anything more .. cheers .. sam
The ps3 is an amazing machine. i purchased 1 about mid-day earlier this week, and was all set and ready to go, with wireless hooked up and everythin within an hour. The media server app. is incredible. in my house myself, brother and sister have latops with our own media. usin the ps3 i can watch all their media without having to use up any HD space. its amazing.

People have been talking about this since the PS3 architecture became clear, here for example, and the NCSA did put together a cluter of PS2s as well (see here) I blogged on this awhile back, the architecture of the PS3 for its price (in US dollars any
