Right Nick, it works like this:
There is a lovely open technology called DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance). It is a standard for sending media between computers and devices such as Xbox and PS3.
What this means is that you install and run a Media Server on your PC or Mac, and your PS3 will automatically see the media server and allow you to browse any content you have 'shared' in your media server over the wireless (or wired) network.
Things you need:
1) A media server application. Windows Vista has one built in, but I've been using
Tversity on Windows XP.
Im not sure what DLNA Media Server to recommend for Mac, there is one called MediaTomb but its seems quite a pain to setup. Maybe DJ has a better idea, he is the mac dude.
2) Router. You need to have your PS3 and computer running media server on the same network (i.e. connected via wired or wireless to the same router).
Once you've installed a media server and configured it (you will need to tell it which folders on your computer you want to share, i.e make available to devices), you can go to your PS3 and select 'search for media servers'. And battabing, it will appear as a browsable option under Photo, Music and Video.
