HDMI cable question?

May be...

Do you need a speical kind of hdmi cable for the ps3 because some guy at bestbuy said that i needed a hdmi cable that was made for the ps3. or can just get a cheap one like $30

The guy at Best Buy was trying to get himself some commission money. All well-made HDMI cables are equal. They will all do the job including for HDMI 1.3 which ps3 has.



You can easily find well-made HDMI cables for $10 or even $5. Even $30 is a heavy retail markup. Some cables go for over $100, they are sold to gullible rich people who drop thousands of dollars at a time on home theater systems, so they think nothing of it.



I repeat cause it's important, HDMI cables are digital. There is no noticeable signal loss in any properly working HDMI cable, just as there isn't in a cat-5 ethernet cable, or hard drive cables. Nobody tries to mark up a cat-5 cable to absurd prices because nobody would fall for it. With A/V equipment, however, there are plenty of people who fall for it, most consumers know little about what they're buying, and can't tell when they're being ripped off.



The A/V industry begat the gold-plated connector, which is utterly useless. It is full of ripoff markups. Get a decent HDMI cable between $5 and $20. There are plenty of reputable ones on Amazon.com

I got my HDMI cable off of this one guy that works for directv. So the answer is no. You can use any basic HDMI cable. That guy at best buy is just trying to get you to spend more $.

My cable works fine!

any hdmi cable will work
