Is there an official PS3 HDMI cable?

What is the best one to get?

I will be using it to plug into a 1080p 24 inch TV and 47 inch TV.

Also, what does the PS3 come with, just the regular red, white and yellow connectors?

Thanks for any info.

All HDMI cables are the same so you can buy the cheapest one and it will work exactly the same as the very expensive ones (just keep the lenth below 6 feet).

I use the HDMI cable that came free with my Dish Network 622 HD DVR Reciever for the 622 I use the free component cable that also came with the reciever I have them running into a Denon 3808Ci reciever and am using another HDMI free from Dishnetwork (well the technician suppies the cables when you get a HD reciever and HD programming package) oh yea, I work for Dish as a Technician and have seen many of Plasmas, DLP, LCD etc. with those expensive cables and I plug our cheapy HDMI into HDMI 1 and the Monster HDMI into HDMI 2 and switch back and forth between inputs and have yet to see the difference nor have any of my customers. Also my TV is a 50" Grand Wega 1080P and I watch bluRay movies is 1080P with 7.1 LPCM audio through our cheapy HDMI cable. I'd save the $$$ and buy an HDMI cable that is affordable and thick (well insulated)

Yeah do with these guys said. I just ordered my 6' cable from monoprice.com and came out to less than 10 bucks including S&H. Don't bother with the Monster Cables. For the most part Monster is a rip-off.

they WILL display the same image, but the quality is what determines the life of the cable. they may catch a short of the picture displayed may begin to lose quality in the long run. "you get what you pay for!"

Wahaat kind of BS is that where is the proof I have been running Sat HD systems for near 5 years and I have never come accross a bad HDMI or Component Cable. Not to mention is there a discernable difference between Monster and the generic cables out there sounds like a bunch of marketing garble 100-150 for a cable get real, but hey they are truly raking in the caash cause there are people who dont know better and are dumb enough to fling the $$$ out to get apeace of mind and appease the marketing gods.

HDMI cables should be kept below 6 feet preferably around the 3 or 4 foot range (a person should really never need over 4 feet of any cable).

Just buy a cheap HDMI cable that isn't longer than 6ft or you will start to lose picture quality.

More crap you can get and use HDMI cables up to 25 feet or even much more with repeaters which can be bought separately or the come standard on any decent HDMI 1.3 reciever sucha as MArantz 7 & 8k models or most of the Denon CI models many other A/V recievers have repeaters which allow you to run HDMI over 25'. C'mon guys do the research.

By the way I am using a series of 8' HDMI

Lies. Yes, if you have a dog that likes to chew through HDMI cables, then spring for the more expensive models with nicer insulation.

Signal-wise, it's all the same. The extra money you're paying is going towards advertising, outer materials on the cable, and company profit.
