Set up media servers for your PS3
The most recent Playstation 3 firmware update (1.80) from Sony not only gave us HDTV owners great
new resolution-scaling options, but they slipped in support for media servers as well! I don't run a
Media Center PC at home, but found a couple of options for easily setting up a media server on my
home PC despite the fact.

I've found these two as good options for a PC media server. The first is Microsoft's Windows Media
Player 11 and the second is Simplecenter. I went with Simplecenter because I don't have WMP11
installed and after seeing what Simplecenter could do, I definitely thought it was the better option.
Both of these set up guides require that you already have your Playstation 3 connected to your home
network as well as your PC. Sony's help for network configuration is
