PlayStation 3 can actually play Windows content?
It looks like the latest PS3 firmware update, which occurs automatically if your PS3 is connected to the Internet, introduces DLNA compatibility.
DLNA (Digital Life Network Alliance) is a set of standards that is increasingly supported by more and more devices, and while I did find Microsoft confirmation that they support it in the Media Center Extender (such as XBox 360), but to me that doesn’t implicitly mean that Windows Vista can be a DLNA server.
Unfortunately, I don’t have PlayStation 3 myself yet to give this a try. The high price is still a deterrent for me. But, if you have one, no reason not to try it out right away!
There is no official word on which file formats is supported, either. As usual, that will be major roadblock, as most of us tend to have a collection of so many formats with so many codecs these days.
