the first one is 1.3b but it doubt it has those optional features that are available with those types of cables

Answer 1

hdmi means digital, so there can be no data loss when transferring digital signals i.e. 0's and 1's (if there was, u wouldnt get a signal). i was conned into buying an expensive hdmi cable and only later found out the cheap 1 works the same.

expensive cables are only useful for analogue transmission. where data loss matters

Answer 2

Those will be fine. I exclusively use cheap HDMI cables in my system (I've got about 5 or 6 running between various components) and it's never been a problem. You don't have to worry about the HDMI version as I believe the PS3 uses an older version. Even if you were to worry about it, it wouldn't be a big deal, an HDMI 1.3b cable for example won't necessarily fail on a 1.3b connection, it is just tested and certified to work on that spec.

Answer 3

you are connecting DIGITAL signals, there is no need to buy the over priced cables - in this case, cheap is good! cheaper the better.

Answer 4

assuming if you are running it less than 15 feet, it will work perfectly fine. inspire sell a 1080p version for around 5 bucks
