If i store a whole lot of dvd movies on a portable hard drive, could i plug it into a hd tv through a usb port and play the movies/ or could i pug it into my ps3 and play the movies through that way.
Answer
PS3 answer: you need a wireless network. You either have your portable plugged into your main computer or just dump all the crap back onto your main HD.
Wireless network if you are clueless there: buy a wireless router for ~$50. Hook that up to your DSL or Cable. Use a stroooooooong password and, preferably, hide the SSID. Your computer connects to an ethernet port on your router. Your PS3 connects to the network via wireless. Your PS3 can then, once they are both on the same network and sharing, browse to your PC and play files from it. You can browse files just like you were sitting at the keyboard. Doesn't even have to be DVD format on the movie files. You can play HD DivX .avi files, .mpeg's, whatever .. you can play them on the tv via the PS3 's connection to the PC.

Answer
If you have a portable MP3 player or somthing like a palm Pilot or Pocket PC, you can transfer the songs from your computer to a SD (secure digital card) and then take the card and pop it into the appropriate sd card slot in your ps3.
You can transfer your music files onto a flashdrive/thumbdrive and then take that and put it in the usb port. Make sure that you don't put the music into some kind of separate folder. Just transfer the song file directly onto whatever type of device/hardware you are going to use and then transfer those files directly into the ps3.
Edit: If you don't have a flashdrive, or an sd card, or a compact flash card, or a memory stick, then there is one last way I can think of. Purchase and External hardrive, those things are worth the money, and they are easy to use. Transfer whatever files you want from your computer to the Ex hardrive via the usb port, then shut down your computer, disconnect the ex. hard drive and hook it up to your ps3 directly through the usb port, turn on the power and the ps3 should be able to read the ex. hard drive, just transfer the files the same way you would with a flash drive.
