Well first you need a ps3 amirbrandon lol, and then you can buy an HDMI cable for about 10 bucks but mine cost 100 because its gold plated so itll last longer and yes you need an HDTV, which you dont have sucka
PS youre a choss lol
Yes, HDMI cables are for HDTVs only. BTW Codeman got ripped off, you can get gold plated HDMI cables at monoprice.com for $15-20. They are quality cables trust me - i worked at Circuit City and by far cables were the most marked up items: upwards to 90% markup. I usually only paid 10% of the original price when i bought them with my employee discount so that shows how much a ripoff paying $100 for cables is.
I highly recommend getting HDMI cables when you get an HDTV, colors look a lot more vibrant and its the best quality picture of all cables. Also if you dont buy from a retailer like best buy or circuit city, they are reasonably priced.
i have 2 cables just curious what i have, i have the regular yellow, white, red cables and then one thats the same (yellow, white , red) except it has a cylindrical input thing below the 3 regular ones, do you know what im talking about?Gally66
the yellow white and red are COMPOSITE cables. the cylindrical input is S-Video input (i think, from your description). S-Video is a higher quality image than composite (yellow white red). Here are cables in rank of quality of picture/sound:
1. HDMI - Completely Digital signal. Best video quality and best audio quality (can transmit 5.1 channel digital signal too)
2. Component (Red, Blue and Green cable - plus white and red for stereo audio channels) - Highest Quality Analog signal, capable of transmitting High Def signals. audio is same as composite and svideo unless using a separate optical digital audio cable
3. S-Video (usually all black cable - one plug which is round with multiple pins in connector - looks sorta like a computer cable) - Better quality than composite, but not capable of displaying High Def signals. audio is same as composite with white and red cables
4. Composite (yellow white and red cable) - basic level of image quality. white and red cables capable of stereo audio output.
Hope this clears things up.
