is this required to hook up a ps3 to an hdtv?

No, but it makes the picture quality much better than the red, white, and yellow av cables.

Only if you want high definition resolution picture (for example 720p or 1080p) otherwise you can use the cable that comes with the console so you just won't get a high def picture. Hope that helped.

Yes if you want ultimate resolution and clarity when playing games and Blu Ray 1080P movies

HiIf you will connect it thru the usb port if the ps3, then no. The ps3 doesn't have audio out from the usb port.

I use it with an Apple TV and have no first hand experience using it with a PS3. It should work with the PS3 as HDMI is a standardized interface. On some monitors I have to adjust my Apple TV's settings in order to get an image, then I have to further refine the settings to get the best possible image (still not high def. in some cases). You will also need a VGA cable to go from the adapter to the monitor and any speaker wire adapters to feed sound from the 3.5mm audio port to your speakers of choice. Hope this helps.

nope this cable is only for audio but it can be used on the PS3 if ur hooking it up to home theater or some other sound system

No. If it's for your Playstation 3, all you need is the cradle that held the original hard drive.

I guess you do. My understanding is that the device can decode either PCM or DTS signals. If your PS3 delivers this type of signal in the optical port, then you are good to go. Just, expect a little delay from the device, which is not really evident, untill yo set the TV speakers and the device at the same time. Sound becomes with a little echoed, but its minimal. If you just want to turn off the TV speakers and use headphones only, it will work like a breeze!

As long as your ps3 (or the TV ur ps3 is hooked up to) has an auxiliary input

HDMI, component video or composite video cable...any one of these will work for output to the PS3. HDMI would be the easiest if you have a newer PS3 model. Good luck.

This does not have any HDMI inputs, only one HDMI output to go to your TV. So long as you have an HDMI input on your TV you can connect the PS3 with an optical cable to this and get Dolby Digital surround, but no TrueHD or DTS, only the built-in Blu-Ray player can use those formats.

Yeah you can hook your game up.I have my Ps3 hook up but the only downside is that I had to use componet in stead of hdmi.Its sounds real good.

I'm not very familiar with ps3. If it's game equipment, this unit has TV and HMI connections. Hope this helps.

I don't have a PS3, but the PS3 does appear to have a digital optical out port so it should.

As long as you have something that will convert the end of you HDMI cable from the PS3 to a DVI connection. Something like this: Monoprice DVI-D Single Link Male to HDMI Female adapter

I do not own a PS3. But, from personal experience with this device, it should work with any combination of HDMI devices. The Auto Switching feature does work well. Although, at times, it may take a while for it to switch sources. When this happens, I turn off my TV for a few seconds then turn it back on -- make sure the device you want to use is On before you turn the TV back on. Also, the Auto Switching is organized from 1-3. So, a device on port 1 takes priority over ports 2 and 3 even if they are turned on. Port 2 takes priority over port 3, etc..I personally love it and recommend it. It's inexpensive and if it doesn't work properly Amazon will refund your money. I do not own a PS3.

Actually your tv can only give stereo out, so you would get better sound hooking the ps3 to the receiver via optical input and the tv to the receiver with composite.....

most certainly. the converter works excellently in converting hdmi output to high quality composite audio and video. I bought this to use hdmi output from a PlayStation 3 on a tv with only one hdmi input (which was in use by my sat tv box). So had to convert the PS3 hdmi output for use on the tv composite input connectors. Works great.Jackie Pendleton

Special box is a very vague term...I wouldn't say box per se. Do you mean a cable television box or something of the sort? In that case, no. For the PS3 version, a HDMI cable must be hooked up in order for the game to work (they sell them almost anywhere). The game needs to be played in high definition, so an HDTV is ideal.
