Hey guys. I know the cable you get with the PS3 isn't particularly good for displaying good quality HD pictures on my HD TV. So, is this the kind of cable i'd need?

any opinions/advice is welcomed.

Most good contacts aren't 24 karat gold as it's extremely soft and maleable. Gold used in electrical contacts must alloyed with another metal to give it better durability and wear properties. Besides, gold isn't even the best conductor of electricity. Silver is.

youll see a picture improvement over component, but only slightly.
audio is a lot better since it digital though
