ok, so i have a few questions, and any help would be great.

 

ok, firstly, i have been decoding a lot of my videos and putting them on my ps3. is there any way i can connect the ps3 directly to my computer in order to copy them over? instead of always having to put them on a portable HDD or a dvd first?

 

secodnly, can i make folders in the videos section of my ps3? i have heaps of videos on my ps3 and want to sort them out into folders to make life easier. is this possible?

 

lastly, is there anyway that i can connect to the interent on my ps3 through my computer? like is there any sort of adaptors available? becuase at the moment i have to have cables running along the house to the router in another room, and my mum hates all the cords :( i could put it through the roof, but yeah, im lazy.......... ill avoid that at any cost.

 

any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance :)

1. RedKawa has a file transfer system...check out their website for instructions.

2. Not at the moment.  Just start the ones you want in groups with the same name...for instance if its tv shows name them by show, then episode name...somethings like "Family Guy - PTV". That will get them all grouped but doesn't really fix your problem.

3. If you have the 60gig then you have built in wireless, get yourself a wireless router and you're set.
    If you have the 20 gig then you need an extra piece (a wireless adapter) to allow the PS3 to pick up the WiFi signal.

First of all...do you have the 60gig or the 20gig

Second, how exactly are your computers wired up? Please be specific...it'll make it easier for me to explain what to do.
