Jake Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Are PS3 good as a media centre then? I mainly use my 360 as a media centre and it works great. It plays downloaded TV/movies straight from my PC over ethernet and even plays iPlayer content. Is the PS3 better for this kind of work? (How?)

I setup someones 360 a few months back and i find my PS3 much better than it. Yours may be setup differently but he could only play certain filetypes. I think XviD and DivX were a no-no. The PS3 can be setup to play everything and it streams full 1080p HD flawlessly through my wireless connection. I don't think the 360 is capable of doing this. Granted i have to use TVersity but its not caused hassles at all. At first i was going to build a new PC mediacenter, or buy one of the stand alone ones, but i ended up going with the PS3 as it was a bluray player, games machine and Sony would, no doubt, update it to stream the latest things as and when necessary. When you think about it the PS3 really is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 My 360 plays both Xvid and DivX great. I also used TVersity until I found out which ports to allow for WMP sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let him know as he was getting fed up converting lol. Don't think there would be much in it other than playing HD and bluray then.
