Component cables or HDMI?

Well im buying my PS3 soon , and I would like to know if there´s any major difference between component cables and HDMI , Im hesitating about HDMI because they are quite expensive and official PS3 component cables cost 19 bucks

My HDTV supports up to 1080i , Will I notice the difference between Component and HDMI?

Is there a physical store (no online stores please ) that sell cheap HDMI? (no more than 29 bucks)

ps3 costs $500 another $30 wont kill you.

HDMi is much better

Yup - what they all said!

HDMI is digital of course you want it if your TV supports it. Component is good - HDMI is just better.

Wow nice find! That's insane, I can't believe so many people are trying to pass these cables off for $35+... It's rediculous.

I actually bought them and I can't tell the difference from those and the other $25 ones we bought.

HDMI is better for the simple fact that dvd's are upconverted to 720p/1080i..you cant do that with component...also, i got mines cheap for like 23bucks at walmart..so go to walmart, there cheap..and the name brand doesnt matter, all HDMI cables are the same 10 $ or 70$ cable...same stuff

I went with HDMI because I think it looks a little better, it's a lot easier to hook up, and my tv is running out of inputs but not a lot of the things I own have an HDMI out.

the first HDMI cable I bought was faulty though, which sucked. thats why I didn't order one online though; I can't wait a week to find out if the damn thing is even going to work. I just exchanged it at the store and was on my way. the convenience was worth it.

Ok heres what you do buddy get a hdmi cable Cheepest is best there all the same cable now if you dont get hdmi you can get RGB you cant upscale your dvds movies etc you cant use ps2 upscaler i think and something else cause you need HDMI to use them now go to www.monoprice.com get a HDMI cable for 15$ good quailty Cheep cables and your set my man enjoy your ps3

Only thing some of these more expensive HDMI cables offer is better shielding against radio frequency and electromagnetic interferences. They also usually are more durable but I don't think that's worth the extra $50.

So if you have an HDMI connector on your tv it is the only way to go, get the HDMI cables! The thing is with Component cables is the quality of the conductor/connector really can improve or decrease video quality but with HDMI the signal is all digital.

Honestly component will look just fine, if your tv doesn't even support 1080p then component will do. TM1

HDMI is alot more convenient because it is one cable but component cables do display pretty much the same quality but its HDMI just offers that little more colour. The downside to component cables are that they do not display copyright dvd's at 1080p(I''ve heard). So for a long term investment HDMI is the way to go.
