It doesn't need any cables to work. If it's not broken it works.
If you'd like it to run, however, you need a power cord; basically a power cord from a computer is what a ps3 uses.
Now, if you'd like to be able to use it, you need a hdmi cable or component cables.
To use a wireless controller, you'll need a usb in order to recharge it's batteries.
It depends what type of TV you have. If you have a standard TV, all you need is the PS3, and all the connection cables that come with it. Once there connected, all you need is some games to play. But if you have a HD TV, you will need the PS3, all the connection cables that come with it and a HDMI cable. This HDMI cable is what transmits the HD visuals onto the HD TV.
first choice HDMI. You should only get Sony PS3 component cables if you HDTV does not have HDMI input
No. HDMI cables will need an HDMI input and only HD capable TVs will have them.
Yes. You also need HDMI cables to connect the two.
Yes the PS3 supports 1080P when it is connected to a 1080P HDTV with the correct connection cables. The blu-ray disc plays movies at 1080P when played on the PS3 to my HDTV. The PS3 also upscales DVDs to near HD quality with amazing results. In order to fully support 1080p you do need to have a 1080p capable HDTV connected to the PS3 with HDMI or component cables.
You don't need HDMI cables for an HD signal, but if you want to get maximum resolution for your tv (1080 p) you do. The short answer is no, you do not need HDMI Cables just to get an HD signal. BUT HDMI cables transfer the higher-resolution images at a faster rate, giving you a much better picture.
No, you do not. It works with A/V cables like the PlayStation 2, digital like the PlayStation 2, or HDMI with HD cables.
Yes, it will. To get the HD quality you will need component cables.
You certainly Can. The only downfall about not playing your PS3 on an HD television is that obviously the quality of the graphics will be a lot lower. In the PS3 box you are supplied with an AV Cable that consists of three coloured prongs: White, Yellow and Red which all correspond to a coloured socket on the side of your television. Alternatively you can buy an adapter to convert these three jacks into a scart head which then simply plugs into the back of your tv. From personal experience I would suggest buying an HD television to get the most out of your PS3. If you are unable to use the AV cable as it comes and then the scart adapter as a last resort. Hope its helpful.
no, you can use a hd tv
No, you do not. The PlayStation 3 comes with an A/V cable (the cable that has the red, yellow, and white cords) which hooks up perfect to a TV with those slots, HDTV or not. You can buy, however, cords that are HDTV compatible only, with an HD picture (as A/V cables do not support HD).
Yes, it will but to get the full HD quality you will need to use a HDMI cable.
