[QUOTE="kay, post: 63604, member: 2"] It will work as long as you format the hard drive as FAT32 and not NTFS. If you have a recent Windows Media Player, just turn on media sharing and the PS3 will pick it up. This way you don't even need to connect a hard drive to the PS3. Ironically my PS3 is better at talking to my Windows 7 machine than my Xbox 360 ever was - it would sometimes lose connection and not be able to see the service. The PS3 doesn't handle very many formats - regrettably FLAC is among those not supported. However you can get media sharing software which does on-the-fly decoding into a supported format. This can get quite heavy on the computer where you run the software but it's transparent to the PS3. One last thing - the wireless bandwidth is often not enough to stream TV/video, at least if your WiFi signal is less than perfect. [/QUOTE]
