Heh, what game do you have that supports 1080i?

**Archangel** · 06-12-2008, 07:34 PM

well, I play on a xbox 360, but that doesnt change the resolution O.o

I know that with the PS3 you need a spiffy little HDMI cable to get 1080i on such supportable games.

I wonder if you can use an HDMI cable.... or does it have to be a PS3 HDMI Cable?

An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable. Doesn't matter.

Thank you for letting me know. You just saved me $70 to $100.

Except when the HDMI cable has a PS3 proprietary bit on one end. But this isn't the case (said after giving it a google), sony uses a standard HDMI output port/cable.

Edit: jinkies!

Thanks once again.

Since I'm a dumb ass (haha). HDMI cables are Audio and Video... or just Video?
... I think I just answered that question for myself by thinking of the AV Cables (red, yellow, white) and what is replacing them.

They carry Audio and Video.

That's because 1080i sucks. What you want is 1080p. Or even 720p over 1080i.

I have full 1080p on my 32" Sony Bravia, it rocks
