HDMI cable for Playstation 3

[RHochstenbach]

I'm getting a 60 GB Playstation 3 this week, but it appears that there is only an HDMI > RGB cable included. My tv has HDMI input. Can you use any HDMI cable with the PS3, or do you need a special PS3 HDMI cable?

The PS3 has the standard HDMI cable input, so you can use any HDMI cable. Also, yeah, the PS3 ships with a Composite cable.

Okay thanks :D

Wouldn't quite say that the PS3 is fairly finicky with HDMI cables.

Mine works with a Monster, Blue Diamond and the Generic one that came with my HD-DVD player but using Blue Jean, Monoprice and another generic cable were causing handshake issues and a black screen.

Apart from that though most HDMI cables should work ok.

agreed most should work fine, I think mine was £10 from eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace and it works fine!

lol, not to be rude, but that doesn't really narrow anything down much, well besides the name brand ones.

I bought a high quality hdmi cable from BigBen Interactive (never head of that company before). I'll get the PS3 delivered today (I hope), so then I'll try the new cable :)
