I've had a PS3 and 360 for a while, but just recently got an ipod. I found that I can plug the ipod into the 360 and stream music over the game's soundtrack. I love this feature. Is there a way to do this in the PS3?

I plugged in the ipod to the ps3 via a usb port, and it recognizes it under the main menu scheme. However, it states theres no music on it. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

I regularly stream music over my games when I'm playing on the 360, and whenever I want to listen to a podcast plug in my ipod. However, I recently have been wondering if there is a way to stream podcasts directly to the 360 like music?

In the Zune software you can not add podcasts to playlists so that doesn't work. Anyone have other ideas?

If only xbox live would create a podcast aggregator, so the ones you want to listen to would automatically download to your 360. That would be great, but I doubt there's any chance of that happening.

I have a four port wireless router set up in our office. Three of the four ports are being used by computers and our Tivo. Now I want to connect my 360, PS3, and a computer I have in the living room to our network. However, I do not want to do it wireless. Mainly because I've found wireless to be annoying, slow, not extremly reliable and do not want to buy a wireless adapter for the 360 and computer.

At the moment, I've set up a 50ft ethernet cord, that runs through the walls and can connect to any of the three devices I want to connect. However, I have to constantly disconnect the cord from the 360, to the PC, and to the PS3. Can I set up another router in the living room, and have that connect to the router in the office to split the internet connection again? Or do I need a switch or hub? I'm fairly ignorant about such things, and any help someone can offer would be appreciated. I have a multitude of shorter 10ft and under network cords so this would be the ideal solution for me.

Recently I decided to start using my 360 as a media center in the living room . I purchased an external hard drive, backed up all of my dvd's, and connected said hard drive to the 360. It works great to have all of my media in a digital format. However, I recently lost internet for a day and noticed the 360 would not play any of my media files, it kept saying it needed an update.

When I had my internet back on, and connected to live the files played the update never installed. Now, I've noticed that whenever I am not connected to live I can not play any mp4 files. Does anyone know the reason for this? It's quite annoying.

Hey all,

I just tried to play this movie that I got from Netflix, and the PS3 states that it can not play this movie. It does not state any reason. It is updated to the lastest software, and I have had no problems playing Blu-Ray movies in the past. When I scroll over to the video selection option on the PS3 it recognizes that the disc is Blu-Ray movie but will not start it.

Anyone else have the same problem? Suggestions to fix it?

Thanks

Hi all,

I've had a 360 for a while, but never thought about using these features of it before. I recently got a large screen tv, and would like to use the xbox to double as an mp3 player and display pictures. Previously it was in the same room as my computer, and I had no use for these features.

Initally, I inserted a dvd that had a back up of pictures and mp3s, but could not find a way to copy all that data to the hard drive. Is there a way to do this, so I do not use the disc? I'm very interested in being able to play custom soundtracks during games. Thanks for any help.
