say if i wanted to hook my ps3 onto a hd screen for a computer what would i need to do i.e which plugs where, do i need to buy anything extra, how much
Any cable connected to the PS3's HDMI port requires connection to a device with HDCP compliance. The PS3 sends a handshake over the cable connceted to the HDMI port. If the display device doesn't respond to the handshake you get a black screen. VGA is not HDCP compliant. So HDMI to DVI cable + DVI/VGA adapter does not work.
The sockets match those plug ends so their shapes are the same, which is the reason I used those pictures. Neither cable is supplied with the PS3 but can be had for minimal extra cost. I purchased mine for $6. My guess would be your monitor does not have DVI with HDCP or an HDMI port.
