How do I do it and what's a good setup? Am I right in thinking I need a 'NAS' drive with at least 1TB capacity?
Any advice gratefully received.

You cannot setup the PS3 as the server. But it does have a DLNA Client built in so you can access media on a NAS.

... or do you mean a media server that the PS3 can connect to?

I know if you connect a HDD directly to the PS3 it neeeds to be formatted as FAT32, is that the same for a NAS drive?

If the NAS drive is connected to the network, rather than directly to the PS3 via USB, then it will not matter how it is formatted.Posted 4 months ago # -
If you have a PC with Windows on it, then Windows Media Player can act as a media server for your PS3. You can set it up using the Stream tab at the top of Media Player window. A DLNA NAS will do the trick nicely too, capacity is up to you really and the file format shouldn't matter.
