I've been using the Win7 RC1, and I've set up my sharing and PS3 to play MP3s from it.
But something else happened. All of my TV recordings (at least in unprotected .WTV format, including HD) are now playable on my PS3
So, at least now the PS3 has some basic Extender features.
Now, I think some transcoding is happening on my PC as it only uploads 8.5Mbit/s for HD shows. Normally, it will do 16-18Mb/s to my X360 Extender. So, there is some quality difference, but the HD shows still look quite good. Also I can't pause and forward/rewind, but it does at least PLAY the TV shows!
So, if you don't have a 360, the PS3 seems to offer at least some Extender functionality when it comes to recorded TV shows in WTV format.
It does not, however, play the shows recorded via my CableCARD tuner on my PC. I think this is a bit much to ask (they do play on the 360 Extender, though).
Let me add how much I think Windows7 rocks
