I currently own a 360 and love the lcd monitor I bought for it.  It was much cheaper than an HDTV and still has great quality picture in my eyes.  It has a dvi and vga port.  My question is, I'd like to get a PS3 soon and was wondering if it had any cables compatible with either port so I can still get away with not having to buy an HDTV to enjoy the hardware??  And if not is there any word on a dvi or vga cable coming out?

You can get an HDMI male to DVI male cable for about $20 at monoprice.com. Problem solved.

Not problem solved! Depends on the monitor. The monitor must also support HDCP in order for the PS3 to send any signals through its HDMI port. What monitor do you have?

Yeah, forgot to mention that.
