Just got a PS3 today. Trying to link it to my Vista Ultimate Media Center, but when it does a scan, it comes back and says it can't find a media server. I use this pc with my 360 and it works like a charm. Does the PS3 not support Vista Media Center? What am I missing here?

You have to use Windows Media Player 11. Not Media Center.

Ah, that kinda sucks. But I guess it's better than nothing. :(

you have to set the setting in media center but keep in mind...media center is based of WMP11 so everything in media center should be in your libary in WMP...if anything, you need to approve the device to use it as a host...

Haven't had a chance yet. Out of town right now. Once I get back, I'll give it a try. I'll let you know.
