 Wouldn't spend a fortune: QED Qunex HDMI, basic Chord HDMI, TCI Copperhead - that kind of thing...

Argos online has the official PS3 HDMI cable for only £8.99. It's 1.3/1080p certified.

Expensive HDMI cables are a big money spinning con right now. It's the latest thing you MUST have to go with your Plasma, the cable companies know this and are coining it in. It's a digital signal, that's 1's and 0's. As long as the cable is well built with decent connectors it will do the job. Longer runs, yes get a better cable, but over 1-3 mtrs, no difference. Same goes for optical cables. Analogue signals ARE different though, better cable can make improvements. And as for the Sony HDMI, can't see the problem with it myself on my Pioneer 428XD.
Expensive kit, cheap HDMI's !!

I beg to differ as I had the Sony cheepie HDMI cable and when directly compared to the results of the QED HDMI cable that the QED offered a more crisp and sharper image.

Re: ps3 to tv

Sorry I am a complete luddite

My PS3 only came with AV cable

Other than an HDMI cable what other cables do I need to buy to connect the PS3 to my fully HD TV to watch bluray movies?

For example, should  I buy/need a component AV cable or a S Video cable?

Cheers

Nothing else but a good HDMI cable.
