How to Get Files From iMac on PS3

The Sony PlayStation 3̵7;s wide array of features makes it more than just a video game console. The PS3 can store and play media files, allowing users to experience music, image and video files on their televisions. The simplest way to transfer files from a computer to a PS3 is to use a DLNA media server. This allows users to stream files directly from their computers to their PS3s with ease. For iMac users, Nullriver has created a program called MediaLink, which gives users the ability to access and copy files from an iMac to a PS3.
