    Does anyone know if the PS3 has to remain connected to the internet after initial verifying of my account? I am going to be moving and it's going to be around a 5 day drive. I was planning on downloading some of my movies on my laptop, but if I can do it on my PS3, and hopefully connect it to the hotel's TV via HDMI, I would rather do that. I realize not all hotels have an accessible HDMI port, but many do these days. Some also have free wifi, but usually you have to accept the agreement which streaming devices can't usually do.

    So, if I tethered the PS3 to my phones data plan to start the playback, then turn the sharing off, would the movie continue to play? I read above that it doesn't stream, but I would still like to turn sharing off if I could.
    Yes - the PS3 still needs to be online (and in fact Sony requires that you are logged into your PSN account). The download feature on it is intended to help with slow networks, but not true offline playback.

    You might try the browser on the PS3 to accept wifi agreements? Or alternatively if you could bring your own access point like an Airport Express, etc and use a tablet/phone/laptop to accept it (then connect PS3 through the access point).

      Thank you. I will probably just stick with the laptop, as it is eaiser and guaranteed to work. With everything else going on, need some things to be as easy as possible. I could even connect the pc to the tv (if available). I don't know if titles download in HD or SD, as I either stream with the PS3 or Roku 3.

      Thanks again for the reply. Saved me some time with trial and error.

        You can download many (but not all) titles in HD/HDX to the PC. You may or may not be able to output HD from the PC to a TV (though SD should always work). The PC has to support HDCP content protection over HDMI - many Windows PCs with updated drivers support this, but it's not supported at all on Macs. It's easy to test on your own TV, though

          If you purchase something you should be able to download the file directly to any folder you want on your computer with an option of all the popular formats like .avi, .mkv, .mp4. Instead you need to install the Vudu to go app which hides the movie file itself in a hidden directory that you have to go out of your way to find. And even if you do find it you can't click on it or play it with any media players because it's encrypted with copy protection. Basically Vudu is telling you that even though you purchased the movie or episode for full price you still don't own it and you can only play it back through their software that they force you to install. This is why anyone who purchases content on Vudu is ultimately foolish because you're getting ripped off, your content isn't really yours it's controlled by the media companies who tell you how you are allowed to stream what you've paid for.

          Vudu should only be used as bonus material for when you buy a disc that comes with a code for a free ultraviolet copy. This way no matter what you still own the disc, shelling out money for encypted files that you don't really own is ridiculous and as consumers we have a right to actually own what we buy, since that is what the Vudu sight tells us when we purchase. Rentals are differnt, but for purchases we should be able to download and play them on any media player or device that we want to. If people would wake up and stop purchasing the companies would lose money and be forced to rethink this copyright protection B.S. that is restricting legal purchases and stealing money from consumers and only giving them a license to play content but not the right to own.
