now a proud owner of a ps3, so quick questions

I am a proud owner of a ps3 now due to my 22nd birthday.

Now I have a few questions for the readers here.

1) Is it possible to connect this up to my PC just like I am with the 360?

2) will it have the same functionality as the 360 in terms of connecting to PC? Am I able to see videos and pictures on my PC through the ps3?

yes it is called media server if you are using media player 10 or above just set it on your PC to share with unknown device(PS3) or if that does not work use the latest version of Winamp and it is built inhiryu3

thanks for that. I think I'll download the latest version of winamp and get an ethernet cable to run from my router to my ps3. That should sort things out i hope. thanks
