Microsoft HDMI cables with the PS3?

I'm buying a PS3 in like two weeks. I already purchased a microsoft xbox 360 brand hdmi cable for my xbox 360. My 360 however was not compatible (no hdmi output). Will this cable work on my ps3 as an hdmi cable? I've been told about hdmi 1.2 and 1.3 but I have no idea what that means. If I cant get the best quality from this cord explain why and what other hdmi cord should I get. thanx

Yes, it will work, but you won't get the best possible picture.

1.2 is older technology, and why Microsoft used it is beyond me. 1.3 is updated, more information (sound, video) can pass through it at a better quality.

You can get ANY cable, for ANY price, but let me just tell you, in the Official Playstation Magazine, they stated that when looking for an HDMI cable, pick the cheapest one you can find, because they all do the exact same thing. You can buy one at Wal-Mart for 20 dollars. Just make sure it is 1.3 compliant. It will say right on the packaging. Don't go spend 100 dollars on a cable, it's honestly just a waste of money. When I got my PS3, I borrowed my cousins monster cable that cost him about 85 dollars, because I was waiting for the cable I wanted to be in stock, and when I got my 20 dollar cable, I went home and compared the quality of the picture with both cables, they were exactly the same. Don't get fooled! Get a cheaper cable, no difference. Spend the 50 or so dollars you save and buy a new PS3 game!
