(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Now you do not have to have a special computer for it to act as a media server. Windows 7 (coming out in October) will now share all your photos and music over a home network to your PS3. You can currently download a 1 year test sample of 7 that will work for a year from Microsoft.com. You can also wait until it comes out in stores but once you have you must allow network sharing under network.Smile

Thank God, Microsoft didn't let the whole rival console thing go to their head with Windows 7.

But this can copy your files but you mostly just use the files strait from your computer to save space on your PS3 Smile

Do a barrel roll!
What is the best media server software around at the moment?
I'm currently using SimpleCentre but its a bit slow and sometimes while I watch films through the PS3 it cuts out with a media server error
