stupid question

about to add the PS3 to my console party so my 360 can have a friend...couple of lame questions I have though

Do I have to buy the PS3 brand HDMI cable or will any HDMI to HDMI cable work?

I only have 1 optical cable input in my surround sound system and my 360 is already hooked up to that....do I have to keep switching cables when playing one or the other or is there another way around this?

any help will be greatly appreciated :)

A £5 HDMI cable will be the same as a £50 one.

Not sure about your surround sound problem, maybe you can get a dual adapter from somewhere?

okay cool....and yeah I have to get an adapter for the HDMI that switches back and forth from the 360 to the PS3 since my HD cable box is hooked up to my other HDMI port...so myabe they have the same thing for audio? thanks

All HDMI cables are about the same regardless of brand and any brand will work on the PS3. As for the optical situation there is a optical splitter that works ok if the optical light shuts off when a system is turned off. I have one of these splitters for my sattelite and PS3 but the sattelite box stopped turning the optical portion off when I turned it off that made the splitter worthless to me anymore. Up until that happened the thing worked great with no problems.

By the way this is NOT a stupid question at all. This is the kind of questions people should be asking when in dought.
