I have an 80GB PS3, and when I play PS2 games or use data dvds/movies, my TV always flashes back to the blue screen (like when the PS3 isn't on) and then black, then blue, then black. I am using an HDMI cable, but I don't feel like this is good for my TV/PS3.. is this normal/harmful in any way to either?

what is happeneing is the signal between the TV and the PS3 is being lost, due to switching bewteen the XMB and the default game resolution. The flicker you see is your TV adjusting to said change in resolution. Even if its the same as the XMB you will see a quick flicker.
