You can use one for music and media only (no xbox live content or game installs) but why would anybody want to do that?

If your 20gb or your 120gb hard drive does not have enough space for music and movies, were else will you put them?

PS3 media server works for streaming all sorts of junk from your computer. There are other media servers too. But, I like PS3 media server so you can stream bluray disks and store as many music files as you want on a hard drive. There is also no codec issues I've ever seen, like you get by using a flash usb drive, or windows media centre.

The reason you get by with doing those things on the ps3, is because sony does not take enough messures to make sure there product gets screwed up. In other words sony sucks at telling people to not to mess up there products.

I have a 1 terabyte WD hardrive and it works great with my 360... I can watch all my divx movies on my xbox though my 32 inch tv instead of my 19 inch montior so its definately worth it.

I have no clue why my message was moderated. The thing works for xbox 360 too. I use it and i don't even own a ps3.. But, whatevs. Rather than just delete my post why not see that it is an open java app that allows streaming on xbox 360 too.. :)
