I just got the HDMI thing to work tonight. I will turn the PS3 on tommorow to see if it has picture with the audio when you first turn it on. When I was done switching it to the HDMI cable and put in a blue-ray there was none of the suff that I watched on youtube that was happening to my HDTV it just loaded and went right into the blue-ray no problems.
Also once you get the software update you have to wait untill the screen comes up with a "We detect an HDMI cable do you want to switch over" it will not come up right away you have to wait for that intro sound then after a couple of seconds of blank TV the message will appear.
The funny thing is that I have a 1080i Sony LCD HDTV. Anyway to answer your question I originally had componant cables and hooked them in. I then got my 20 dollar HDMI cable and when Iwent to put it in it would not work. I then heard that you had to get a software update to be able to use aHDMI cable. I guess that is what happened to me.
I had to get that Firm ware update to be able to use my HDMI cable. That to me is **** HD capable out of the box my ass. I had to use component cables to be able to display the video of the PS3 so I could go into the menu system and go through all the boring **** of creating an online account to get the software update so I could use my HDMI cable. Now that I have the Firm ware update though it looks amazing but still you should not have to go online to update your system so you can use an HDMI cable. Like I said though now that I have the update I love my PS3 now. It was just a hassle trying to figure out what was wrong with it.
God damn it I am sick and tired of Gamespot not putting spaces in between my words when I do put spaces in between the words. Just watch this post will have some words connected.
