Sony rolled out a firmware update for the Playstation 3 this week, which added enhanced media playback capabilities (specifically, DivX and VC-1/WMV support), and Profile 1.1 support for Blu-ray discs. An interesting feature that was thrown into the mix, is one that enables players to change the tone of their voice during online multiplayer gameplay. It seems like there will be a few more Darth Vaders joining the network now.

I have been trying to get a home media server set up and running to take advantage of these new features (and the media capabilities of the PS3 in general), but that task has been not so straightforward as I first believed (since I am looking to stream from the Mac platform). I will try and document my findings on that soon.
