For something that involves HDMI, $40 seems cheap to me (since manufacturers always make things with HDMI more expensive, for whatever reason). It’s just one of those things where price = quality.

I have this one. There’s tons on Newegg for about the same price and most are well reviewed, so I didn’t think there would be any problems. *shrug*

HDMI is just DVI + audio so if that was the case, I could flip around my current HDMI/DVI cable and plug it into the DVI port you thought I had.

Although do they even make video cards with only HDMI out? I have a 8800 GT with two DVI outputs + S-Video/composite/whatever.

I know that HDMI is just DVI with Audio. They make video cards with DVI and HDMI, not sure about just HDMI.

I’m gonna rip the thing apart and see if I can strengthen the cable connections so they aren’t loose.

Oh, I thought you just had a video card with HDMI output…

I don’t which is the whole reason I have my computer plugged into my HDMI port via a DVI-to-HDMI cable. If I had a DVI port, I’d just use it for my computer which would free up the HDMI port. ;)

Just get an HDMI-to-DVI cable, and hook your PS3 up to the DVI port (assuming you have one…).
