Can avi. movie files be saved to the PS3 hard drive and then played on your TV?

Oh, and does the PS3 come with a cable that will allow it to be connected to a computer/LCD monitor (I have a Dell monitor you see)? If it doesn't, what kind of cable would I need to get?

Thanks

Apparently yes.

And I think you need a DVI Cable.

Some more questions:

Where can one get an extra USB cable to charge one's Dualshock3/Sixaxis?

And can the battery be changed when it dies?

One of the firmwares allowed the PS3 to play .AVI. Also, you need HDMI-DVI cable, if your monitor is HDCP compatible.

You can get an extra USB Cable at any Electronics/ Computer store.

And afaik you can't change the battery, just charge at the same time you play.

Okay...say I have an external hard drive and I hook it up to a PS3 via USB. Would I then be able to play avi. movies off the external hard drive using the PS3 as a player?

Thanks for the firmware info. As for the cable which type should I get? The HDMI Male to DVI Male one? Or Male to Female? or Female to Male?

How about this:

I have a 47" HDTV w/ only one DVI input. Can I use one of those DVI->HDMI connectors in order to play a PS3 in HD?

All you need is a standard mini-usb cable, I'm using the one that came with my nokia phone

Ok guys, I've found out which HDMI DVI cable I need to get but read somewhere that it will only handle video. What cable do I need to connect my Logitech speakers (2.1 with only 3.5mm jack) to the PS3?

I have been looking for something exactly like this for ages now, +1 to the Dutch Postal Service

Holy shit £100, fuck that. I'd just get a HDTV and a HDMI cable instead

where you would be able to get it is beyond me, most sites I see are either Taiwanese or whatever Asian,

if it works is another thing, (supposedly it should, + audio, why other have audio connections right?)

We need something simpler...and a good deal cheaper, that can be found on eBay.

yeah, just saw like something of 235 dollars, rofl

if it was cheaper and easy to get then I would have got it

https://www.green-box.com.tw/images/illus_gs-d00201_02.gif (it hits the jackpot, ohh well)

but having an HDMI > DVI cable from my PS3 to the Monitor and then audio cables running to the T.V., meh, I dunno how else I need to get audio,

GTA IV on my 2232BW is something, but without audio it's pretty useless
