Rob,

Yes, I do need some simple terms now. The way you just worded it, you are saying that he wants to watch DVD's and BD on his HDTV? (which the PS3 already does)

Or does he want to use his PC to play the movies and bypass the Ps3?

Or does he want to play/transfer DVD/blu ray files that are on his PC to the PS3 to watch on his HDTV?

I'm not trying to be difficult here. Its just that your comment confused me a bit.
