Most of the questions you asked so far is already answered on the first post of this thread.

You can download demos, videos(not videos from the Video Store however), trailers, themes and wallpapers for free. Playing online is also free.

Provided the format of the video file is supported by PS3, then yes you can play it on your PS3.

Make sure nothing is being transfered or beign read from your thumbdrive first, then just unplug it from the USB port.

Advise you not to get from Sg.Wang, the reputation there is worse than an apple with worms crawling inside. Buying software is ok, but hardware is a big no no. As for Lowyat, there are a few shops there which is rather "OK" but their prices are usually higher than usual.

The PS3 can be played on a regular old CRT TV, and obviously you won't be getting the full HD visuals like you would on a HDTV or on a LCD Monitor. The visuals being nice or not will depend on the game.

And finally, no you cannot use your HP as a modem for your PS3 to go online. The PS3 can only be connected to the internet wirelessly through a modem/router or wired directly from a modem/router with an ethernet cable.

A portion of HDD is also "hidden" file reserved as cache by the OS, that's why you have some used GBs. Not sure what is the percentage though.
