people talk about streaming a lot, am i right in saying that my ps3 picks up my Microsoft account from my pc meaning i can get videos/pictures if i have a selected folder like before i used to get movies/music on my consoles via windows media player?


i only ask because people go out their way to spend x amount of money on stuff for streaming when you could technically just use a console?

its got me thinking of getting something setup for downstairs and moments ago just picked up a half 4 edition 360 for £50 :eek: for the missus who already has a special edition 360 so could use one of them i suppose that is unless i need something particular? if the tv had usb i could just plug in my esclosure hard drive, sadly too old a model for that.
 
thanks for replies.

i always wanted to get my hands on a Pi, more for arcade creating, but never bothered, what do the suggested items offer over using a 360/ps3? i havent used windows media player for awhile so i dont know how reliable it is anymore.
