I'm considering buying a PS3 and was wondering how the media sharing from a PC works. Jeff G keeps saying he can't get it to work. Has anyone else had trouble with it?

hmm well i personally have not tried it. However, from what i have read, some people have trouble with it, but many have gotten it to work successfully. Check out this thread, it may help you in getting it to work. I think its mainly a problem with firewalls and wireless networking, not necessarily the ps3. This thread should show you how to use it.

I couldn't get it to work either until I downloaded TVersity; a media sharing program. No problems sharing music or video, works good!

I downloaded the 1.80 update or whichever one it was and I didn't even have to do anything else to set it up and then I saw my computers name in all the three media bars video,music,photos all of my stuff was right on there. If you have windows media 11 with file sharing on then there isn't anything else you need to do. I personally like it a lot better than the 360 media sharing just because you can get better formats of video.
