It's digital. All HDMI cables are practically the same unless you are transmitting over really long distances. Get a cheap $5-$10 cable online. www.monoprice.com is your friend.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

There's no such thing as HDMI-->component cables, unless you have some sort of converter box.

check if your tv supports hdmi (you can just look where all the ports are) if so than use hdmi.

what i do is send video through hdmi and sound through the standard defenition cables the ps3 comes with.

so i have hd video and sorround sound because my home theater is old and does not support hdmi.

if you have a home theater that supports hdmi you can easily just use one cable, or if you dont care about surround sound than just go with your tv speakers.

As others have said, $9 on a place like newgg.com can provide you with the same 6 foot HDMI cable that would otherwise cost $100+ at a place like Best buy or Circuit City.
