Can you use a PS2 wire for the PS3

You know those wires that come with the PS2 and PS3.

The AV Output and Power Cord. Does the PS2 one work with the PS3?

My cousin accidently brought me his PS3 with the PS2 wires. They fit in perfectly like the PS3 wires but it doesn't seem to work.

Is it that I need an HD TV or something? Need Help.

I rented Ninja Gaiden Sigma but now I can't even play it.

The AV lead works, Sony hasn't changed it since the PS1. The power lead is different here in the UK, don't know about the rest of the world though. In the UK it's a standard kettle lead (PC power cord).

If the PS3 has been connected via a HDMI cable you will need to set it all up and then press the on button at the front until it beeps a couple of times to reset the video system.
