They dropped the price of the PS3 to $299US and PMS (PS3mediaserver) is free. I find it works pretty good IF you rip your content in acceptable formats. PMS will transcode on the fly, you need to have a decent server to do a good job but now days that is not hard to come by. I use the same server to run SqueezeCenter and PMS and they seem to work fine together. If you are going to stream 1080P movies you need to run it wired at 1GB and not wireless. I have 40 movies ripped in .mkv files along with MPeg4 files. It works great and looks good. It also streams FLAC and transcodes it albeit not as well as my Transporter, but it does support DTS and other 5.1/6.1/7.1 audio streams.
It is early in the development phase but at this point I could not be happier for the cost. -- Ozz 2 Channel listening Room: Transporter, Arcam C31 and Arcam P1 Mono Blocks feeding ATC SCM19s Cable and interconnects are both Kimber.
