So using your PS3, you can find and select the movies? Like go into the folder and click on them to play?

yes open up windows media player, under libray click more options-> media sharing. you will see al things in your network then. It will will have an icon for the ps3 but it will be blank . Just allow your computer to share info with your ps3 and bam you are done. Or install a free service called tversity just pm if you need any help with all this.

But I need a router first to connect the PS3 and laptop, correct?

You have any reccomendations?

And from what I understand, I don't need the internet to make this work. Is that still a true statement?

not to sure about internet thing. But you will need a router I would always suggest wired over wireless but thats up to you. I use a cheap belking n router that can be used with b/g devices which the ps3 is and never have any issues.

If I am correct, you may not even need a router, just switch.

Someone who is a network expert may need to chime in...

Here's a link to one:
