Need help w/ strange file types (Also: Bluetooth Dongle?)
How would I go about playing .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB's (They came bundled together)
What is a good program to run these, and do I need a certain codec? (I have CCCP so I haven't had a problem with that before)
EXTRA FUN DOUBLE LIGHTNING ROUND : I got a Graphire wireless tablet for Xmas, but it uses Bluetooth, and apparently my comp doesn't have a bluetooth stack. What's a good dongle to get for use with my tablet?
An IFO and a VOB are disc images as far as I remember, that need to be burned onto a disc or mounted onto a virtual drive. A BUP is a backup of an IFO - if a drive can't read the IFO, it'll take a look at the BUP.
As for BT dongles, any cheap one should do, but read reviews to make sure you've got one with a decent transfer speed - for a graphics tablet, you'll want as much accuracy as possible.

Those are DVD files. VLC and Mplayer will play them as well as any DVD software and Windows Media Player if you have a DVD codec installed. All you want to play are the VOB files. The rest are menu and indexing files for standard DVD players.
For bluetooth, I have this adapter (DBT-120) from D-Link. I've got another brand as well, but that one sucked. The D-Link works great, and I didn't have to install any drivers, it was plug and play in XP, Vista, and my Mac. I'd highly recommend it. It's $50, but Newegg has it for $30 ($20 w/ rebate). Well worth the price. The other one I have cost around $10 and requires 3rd party drivers that barely work right.

I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
