I have a question regarding av cables. Just bought my ps3 during launch, was playing at my bro's house in KL using an additional HDMI cable. Now I'm back in my home, only to notice my LCD Philips supports only HDTV and DVI.
Is there a resolution difference between HDTV and DVI? Should I be getting a DVI-to-HDMI cable or a HDTV AV component instead?? Help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you SSJBen for your reply Below is a low quality pic of my Philips LCD TV   As seen here, my TV has DVI, PC and HD connector. No HDMI. What should I do with the audio connector next to the DVI?? I don't think a DVI-HDMI cable has an audio jack. Neither does my PS3 has a audio output.

Thanks for the reply. Really do appreciate it. It just shows that my TV is old, that's all. Just found out yesterday before I sleep that I can actually use a HDMI-DVI adapter instead, and connect with my existing HDMI cable.

Anyone know where can I get a HDMI DVI adapter?? Maybe somewhere in Ipoh as it is my nearest city? I sent hunting today, and none of the retailers from where I came from knew what HDMI was. Ther furthest I went was to Tesco Kampar, where the "electronic sales specialist" in charge of Sony Bravia LCD TV never even heard of a HDMI.

Sorry for acting like a noob here, just got a unit during launch. I noticed that the PS3 games over play-asia are relatively cheap, and they do not include shipping charge too. My question is would it be cheaper to make playasia my centre of buying games? Or would you suggest me to continue visit my favourite retailer and kept on bugging for a best price?
