[QUOTE="diazepam, post: 32658, member: 773"] I currently use a PS3 as a multimedia server and it`s brilliant. I use an ethernet cable from my desktop upstairs to the PS3. All my cd`s are ripped into WAV format and the sound quality (for me...) is great. It`s also very easy to access \ organise your music. I am not using the photo streaming function, but you can definately do it. The latest software update specifically included some photo album \ organising functions. DVD blueray playback (I`m thinking of Dark Knight) is stunning. I don`t have anything to compare it to but my old Marantz DVD player, but even on standard DVD playback it is much much better. It does not have analogue outputs, only HDMI, DVI and optical, so in that aspect you are a bit limited. Another great feature is that you can easily upgrade the HDD yourself. I personally think you would have to spend a lot more to beat the functionality \ ease of use and performance of the PS3. If you get a bluetooth keyboard you can also easily surf the net on the big screen...you can do it with the controller although that is quite labour intensive. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
