Title: Price check help!
Post by: This Guy on July 27, 2011, 06:02:07 AM

So I got a new PS3, planning to connect it to my HP 2009f monitor. It has a DVI-D input and a VGA, It supports HDCP ( High Def. Copy Protocol ) to connect a HDMI - DVI-D cable to it.
I will buy a Audio adapter male and a female to female adapter to connect it to my Headphones, I will also buy a analog connector so that I could connect the audio jacks (red and white one) to the audio adapters. So all in all I will buy:

*HDMI - DVI-D cable
*Audio adapter male
*female to female audio adapter
*Ps3 analog cable

How much money would it cost me to buy these?

Thoes cable are "cheap".
But it depends on the store your buying them...
Many store heavily overprice there cables.
So you'll be looking at 10 - 20$ each cable.

they're overpriced as shit, and you can buy something of the same quality for a quarter of the price. there's no valid reason anyone should spend that much extra money for an HDMI cable.
