Cool. Thanks for the confirmation.

The more I read, it sounds like it doesn't matter. I can install MediaTomb UPnP and that can talk directly to the PS3. Has anyone done this? Is there a better UPnP app out there you'd recommend?

If I use a PS3 as a media server will it see my tv/music/films on a Ubuntu 10.10 ext3-formated Samba Server? I read somewhere that drives need to be FAT32 ... Thanks.
