Is it possible to use the ubuntu server edition to run as a media server, as in being able to play movies/music/pictures from ps3/360/other media extender devices?

Yes of course it is possible, but what exactly you want to do is not clear.
do you want to serve media files, or play them? you can do either or both.
Or neither, though that wouldn't be a very good media server, it's proof of how flexible ubuntu can be!
In windows you would use windows media player or the media center software to share your media files and then the ps3 sees the computer your useing as a media server, but a normal file server wouldnt be able to do it. So i'm trying to figure out an easy way to do it, peferably with out having to install a gui.
