Bought a ps3 at 2am last night.

connect your hdmi cable to your ps3 and tv.. turn off your ps3 and then hold the power button for about 10 secs until it beeps it will configure to hdmi then set it to the 1080p or whatever setting your tv has, this will change the world from component and other cables. especially watching blu rays. as far as memory i have the 80gb ps3 which i have about 30gb left and i have a ton of music, demos and games on my ps3. just hit me up on there sometime i have little big planet also and a lot of other games.

no need to config it by holding the power button. just plug in the HDMI and turn it on.






also you got jippted ps3 only outputs 60hz so that 120hz or 240hz tv and blue ray you just bought means nothing. youll only see it in 60hz which sucks.

Actually, if he is changing from using the component cables to hdmi for the first time, I would suggest holding the power button thing... this will allow the ps3 to do an auto-detect to what cable is connected. I have to do this when I bring my PS3 over to a friend with a non-hdmi tv and vice versa...otherwise all he'll get is a blank screen (the PS3 will start up with the latest settings, and if he had it set to component cables, he will get a blank screen when using hdmi)

in his case, he'd only need to do it once. Once it is configured for HDMI he can just start it normally.
