I was just wondering if PS3 has VGA cables out like Xbox 360 does.  My friend owns an Xbox 360 but has a very old TV, he bought the VGA cables so he could play on his monitor and the games look so much better.  Here is a link to the Xbox 360 version.

Basically just 360 to monitor plus speakers.

Are there VGA cables, such as these, out for the PS3 or does anyone know if they are in the making?  Cause basically I am in the same boat as my friend with an outdated TV set.

Everytime I ask the people at EB Games or Gamestop about this they pull out the HD cables and I try explaining to them that this is not right and they get confused.

if you have a monitor with a DVI connection that supports hdcp then you can get a hdmi to dvi cable... also you can get a component to vga transcoder and do it that way.

Dude that is hot, so all I need to do is buy that $50 box and I am good to go?  Or do I need something else with it?
