I just got my PS3 and I don't have HDTV just yet.  The best I can do is go component.  I've noticed several options as far as brands which vary in price.  Is there an actual difference in quality between them?  Should I just stick with Sony's official or spend the extra $ for third party wires?

the sony ones are fine, by the way component does hd, or does your component input only support 480i/p?

Thanks guys.  The TV I'm using is a 4 year old 32" Panasonic SD CRT.  I'm not sure of the excact specs.  I just know it has component and s-vid inputs.  I know I'm not going to get stellar images from it, but I want the best I can get out of it til I go HD(next year).

Third party, the sony ones are very expensive
