5 must-have PS3 accessories
HDMI cable
Sony has touted the PS3’s high-definition pedigree at every turn, so it’s rather ironic that the company ships both versions of the PS3 with just a composite A/V cable–which can’t deliver any high-def resolutions, let alone the vaunted best-in-class 1080p. To see the games and Blu-ray movies in HD (and we’re assuming you have a compatible HDTV), your best bet is to get an HDMI cable, which provides an all-digital audio and video connection from the PS3 to your HDTV (or A/V receiver) on a single wire.
A lot of people are under the impression that HDMI cables can’t be had for under $80–and, to be sure, you’ll pay $100 or more for premium brand names such as Monster and Belkin PureAV. But we’ve had good luck with “generic” brands (like the one pictured at left), which can be obtained for as little as $20–if not less.
