Thanks e60!
well once you have the files on your computer as Xvid/Divx encoded avi's its pretty simple. you can use a flash card, usb drive, or burned CD to transfer them to the PS3. just go to video, then whichever device you put in (CD, USB, SD, etc) and then the video should pop up. sometimes you need to press Triangle first, and then select "show all" before it pops up.

secondly if your decent with computers you can set up Windows Media player 11 to send anything thats in its library to the PS3 over Wi Fi. (as long as the PS3 can read that file type)

here is a rough guideline:
HOW TO: Media Sharing between PS3 and WMP11 (Windows Media Player 11) PC - PLAYSTATION®3 Media - PlayStation.com Forums

if you dont know how to get the higher quality Divx/Xvid instead of the Youtube, the first thing is to get a bit torrent client. (reccomend utorrent
then go to Finalgear.comwhere they have a mininova torrent link for each espisode every week.
