A PS3 could use a HDMI cable to get HDTV although it has a A/V cable for 480i TV connection. It could also use a ethernet cable to get a wired internet connection instead of WiFi. It could also use another Mini USB to USB charging cable although it come with one.

You must hook up the Sony PS3 to a HDTV with either a PS3 component AV cable or a HDMI cable and not the supplied AV cable. Before you purchase the cable examine the back of the HDTV to determine the type cable you need to purchase. HDMI provides for a single plug hook up and is preferred for that and the HDMI sync, however not every HDTV has a HDMI connection. Please note to play certain Blu-ray Discs on the PlayStation 3, you may need to update your PlayStation 3 system software. See Related link
