my mom was buying a 46 in 1080p tv from circuit city that comes with a home theatre system for 1700, and i told her we should get a blu-ray player, and she got a ps3 cause i asked her to. its not a cristmas present. i used to have a xbox 360, but i sold it cause i needed the money, and in comparison, the ps3 looks better, and has less wires. i havent played it yet cause were waiting on the tv to be delivered, but i was wondering, will hdmi make a diffrence than the regular cables it comes with?

HDMI is high definition while the cables it came with are standard definition. So yeah the difference is huge.

You don't need to spend a lot though These will be fine. HDMI cables have no difference in quality whether they are $1 or $150. Big name companies just try to get tons of profit off of the overpriced cables. (Like Monster)

Yeah make sure you get an hdmi cable, get the cheapest, some can be as cheap as $5 bucks.

Speaking about hdmi cables, does it matter if it's 1.2 or 1.3?

They dont actually have to be anything. All HDMI cables will work, but if its not HDMI 1.3a with x.v.color, your wasting your money.
