PS3/TV hardware question

My family just bought the 52 inch sharp aquos. It's the 64U. Today I bought the high def cables for my PS3 and hooked it up so I could finally check out my blu-rays and games in high def. The problem is everytime I go to play a blu-ray, nomatter what movie it is, it starts off in 1080p but then as the disc loads up it automatically switches to 1080i. Does anyone know why it is doing this or how I can fix it?

I set up the PS3 display options to the best of my ability, is there anything specific I need to set or know? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Well unfortunately I wasn't the one who bought the tv. I am still in college and have no money. As far as the cables go, I am under the impression there is very little difference between component and HDMI. And since the component cables are 19.99 and the HDMI are $70 plus, well there is your answer.

But back to the question at hand. Anyone know for sure whats going on?

You can find really cheap HDMI cables online if you look.
I've bought $5 HDMI cables (plus $5 shipping) on newegg.com and they work wonderfully... bought some for my family too. Don't always believe that you have to pay the crazy store prices for cables... there are cheaper ways. :)

Thanks, thats good to know. I've never really looked into HDMI cables, because I didn't think i needed them. Clearly I do, so I'll check those out. Do all the different brands really matter? Is one HDMI cable as good as the next?higdon95

HDMI cables are digital, no difference what so ever between a Monster $200 and a no-brand name $5 cable.
