I am converting my garage and will be installing a flat screen on the wall in the next couple of months.

I want to pre-wire it and want to use a PS3 with it.

I dont yet have a PS3 and wonder if anyone can tell me how long, approximatley, is the lead from the unit to the TV and if it is less than about 1.5m can it be extended?

Thanks in advance.

Doesnt come with one tongue out

Not sure whether that's good or bad, but it uses HDMI if you're using a recent TV, so as long as HDMI leads go i suppose smile

Standard HDMI cable, buy whatever length you need.

You'll need an HDMI cable, they come in a variety of lengths and costs. You should be able to find one that suites.

Excellent, thanks for the quick replies!

I will buy a HDMI cable now, and get it pre-installed ready for the delivery of the PS3.

Thanks.

Bear in mind the process for switching a PS3 between low definition and HDMI is simple, but hidden on page 496 para 27 sub-clause jj of the instructions. (if you see what I mean)

IMO cable up every socket on the TV, at least the HDMI's and the component and an svid.

Get an HD Projector instead, a mate has the latest Panasonic one in his home theatre room and it is quite simply stunning.

Would that be the PTAE3000 model? I'm considering one of those.

Yes, that's the one. Costs a bit though.
