So I'm planning on getting a PS3, but I don't really know a whole lot about it so I have a few questions.

Does the PS3 come with component cables?

If not, then are there component cables that I can go purchase separately?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate i!

It uses the same component cables as the PS2. So if you have those for the PS2, you're all set.

Lol. Short and sweet, thanks. Also, if I'm playing on a 21inch HDTV (I use it as my computer monitor too) that doesn't have an HDMI output but supports component cables, will I still be able to get a good picture (720p)?

There should be a sticky post for all "buying a PS3" threads complete with guides for all three models and cables needed and whatnot.

To answer your question no component cables are included. Sony sells some for 20 bucks. If your TV supports HDMI go with it.

For your second question: Yes you'll still get a good picture from component especially on a 720p set.

No, but they give you a nice Broadband cable for some reason? Thats one area I do have to question some. I think they need to stick in the cables. But nothing is 100% perfect :).
