I was lucky to score a 60gb PS3 from a friend of mine. It was used, but he tested it and said it worked great. I knew for the longest about its backwards compatibility with older PS systems/games and for $290 it was a steal. Mind you, I don't have a 42" or higher flatscreen TV in HD. I have a standard flat panel TV that's currently hooked up to an HD convertor box. I was told by the friend who tested it that it would only work on a HDTV, but can't I get it to work on my flat panel with a convertor box? I have 2 wireless controllers, the power cord, AV cables, PS2/PS3 memory card adaptor and one USB cord for charging the controllers. Everything works and the system turns on, but no screen on the TV shows up.
Anyone have any troubleshooting tips? Do I need an S-Video cable or HDMI cables? I'm pretty sure the HDMI cables are if I do in fact have a flatscreen HDTV, which I don't(sadly). I'm a longtime PS2 gamer, but new to the whole PS3 thing.
Help a brother out.
