Hey guys, which set up is better for a LCD monitor which is shared by a PS3 and PC.

My LCD monitor does not have HDMI input, only DVI and VGA but I would like to use the DVI input for both my PC and PS3. With the PS3 using a HDMI to DVI cable.

The thing is, I need a kind of splitter for the connection which is able to select the source with a button.

Which would be better. Using a HDMI switch or DVI switch?

With the HDMI switch method, I will have to use 2 HDMI to DVI cables right?
For PC
PC-->DVI to HDMI cable-->HDMI switch-->HDMI to DVI cable-->LCD Monitor.
The PS3 would connect to the HDMI switch via HDMI cable.

I would much appreciate any feedbacks on this.

So expensive.....
Are there any alternatives like different brands?

This is an example of the HDMI switch http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-de-49-...ch-70-353h.html

If I change the hard disk of the PS3, all the settings will be reset to the default settings for the new hard disk?

Is there any shops here which sells something like this?

Just wondering, the PSN top up cards will only work for their own store regions right? Like the one with RM currency will only work with a PSN MY account right?

Oh and for the PS3/PSN tag, it only displays trophies? Can't it display like latest activities or anything like that?

Just found out that PA sells "Asia" and "US" versions of the DS3 controllers. Any diff between them apart from the price? Cant use Xmas coupon for the Asia one ^^;
