HDMI to DVI-D and audio for PS3

Burningmace · 29-09-2009, 4:34 PM

I'm buying a PS3 from a friend and I don't have a HDTV to hook it up to, but my monitor is a Dell 2407WFP which supports 1920x1200 and has DVI-D in. I know you can get HDMI to DVI-D cables, but the issue is that I don't have a sound system that supports optical either. So, are cables available that split HDMI into DVI-D (or RGB) and analog audio? Or is there a better/cheaper solution to this?

Cheers!

Update: This is exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't want to pay £50 for it.

The PS3 has analogue stereo out as well. There is a cable for it in the box with the PS3.

You mean from that PlayStation specific output cable? Can you output video from HDMI and audio from that cable at the same time?

Yes, you can output video on HDMI ( to DVI-D) and audio on the red and white connectors on the AV lead supplied with the PS3 at the same time.
