I am thinking of ordering one of these, although I know nothing about them. But I would need to hook to LCD projector and will that work?

My LCD projector has just VGA inputs (and perhaps a single line composite video), so will a PS3 work for me? I see only HDMI out... thx!

Also, any other buying tips are appreciated...I see bundles on Amazon.com but don't understand them :)

So, 480P is easy, the PS3 comes with what is needed.
PS3 can do Component out

What i know is that you need a powered adapter.
Like www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815...
Other then the reviews I found this to be a good help.

As for the bundles a PS3 is a PS3 (and a Xbox 360S is a Xbox 360S). It may have a lager HDD but it is still the same. Let me know if you need more help.

I have a PS3 my self.

I have also seen some composite video input work as both composite and component.

Rosjo, close, but not what I need. that's a HDMI to DVI, and I need to connect the HDMI end to the PS3, and a VGA end to the projector. Even if I find a cable, like at mono price, my question is does it work - ha! But thx for playing!

Sometimes it's just little details that separates a great and not so great answer! Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:

1: Be complete and thorough. Don't skimp on the details!
2: Try not to answer with a question. Because that's not really an answer, right?
3: A little research goes a long way. Back up your claims and assumptions!
4: Try to be patient, tech questions can be complicated.
5: You are awesome for both reading this and answering questions.
