ps3 media functions

i use the 360 media centre but its slow and clumsy. Does the ps3 have something like it.clyde46

The PS3 accesses media via the XMB but unfortunately, it ain't great. No playlists, the organisation leaves something to be desired, and it's not ideal. Good news is that you can stream media to your PS3 from your PC, or stream media from your PS3 to any internet capable computer, and soon, you'll be able to record tv directly to your PS3

I'm not familiar with the 360 media funtionality, but I know the PS3 can:

a. Read just about any kind of disc you can shove into it, from cds to blu-ray (HD-DVD FTL).

b. Be setup to recieve streaming media over your network from your PC.

c. Read media off storage devices which connect via USB, as well as multiple types of Flashcard readers.

d. Easy and quick to navigate through the XMB to find image, audio, and video files.

e. When Home is released, you will be able to play video or audio in your Home, or have images hanging on your wall like digital art pieces, which people invited in your home can view/listen to.

f. Little Big Planet will allow you to upload images off your HDD to use as decals and graphics on the things you create.

In conclusion, the PS3 was made to be a multi-media entertainment system as well as a gaming console.
