If you want to get HD graphics you will need to buy a HDMI cable. Don't buy them at best buy or any place like that, because they are so overpriced.

I bought my HDMI cable at monoprice.com, and it works great.

u don't HAVE to buy HDMI cables for HD graphics... u can get HD graphics through VGA, DVI, or components.


HDMI is convenient since it's 1 cable that carries a digital signal between the PS3 and TV... I recommend any HDMI cable as they all work the same... as the poster above mentioned... monoprice.com <--can't go wrong there

so would the hdmi cable be the only thing that is hooked up between my ps3 and the tv? so i would not have to buy the component cables?

Get a 1.3 HDMI cable, Biglots has them for $7. I bought the expensive ones from Best Buy when I got my PS3 because I didnt know better. Just bought the $7 for the 360 and its fine.

You don't need an HDMI cable. You can get a set of component cables that will give you HD just fine but you can also find and HDMI cable on monoprice cheap, like under 10 bucks cheap, even less than that depending on the length you want.

Yes, if you have a HDMI cable, it is the only thing hooked up between the ps3 and the tv. You would not need component cables if you have a HDMI cable.

Yeah thats why I prefer HDMI cables because it makes everything a lot less cluttered. I got mine for $2 off of amazon and they work perfectly. I wouldn't spend more than $10 depending on how long you want/need the cable to be.

Go with HDMI but as everyone else recommended, get them off the Internet as at BB and other places they are way overpriced.

I have to laugh when I go to best buy and see them selling Xbox 360 or PS3 exclusive HDMI cables for $100
