PS3 as a Network Media Player - I ain't Playing Playa
I am currently using my PS3 as a network media player. Reasons that you may want to do this are:
1. You don't store any media (pictures, video or music) on your PS3, so it remains fast
2. The media on network attached storage is easier to manage
The setup I have at home is PS3 connected to a Netgear router, a Netgear ReadyNas drive (which is a DLNA certified NAS drive) also connected to the router. The PS3 is connected to my Sony STR-DA3200ES ES 7.1 Channel Surround Sound A/V Receiver via a single HDMI cable. The Sony Receiver sends full high definition (Full HD) images to my Sony Sony KDL46EX500 television.
