Sony Explain HDMI Requirements

Sony have commented on the story that emerged yesterday suggesting that future PlayStation 3 models will require a HDMI cable to get high definition output.

According to Ars Technica, this only applies to movies.

“The new CECH-3000 series PS3 requires HDMI only for BD movie output in HD, in compliance with AACS standards,” said the manufacturer. “PS3 continues to support component output for HD gaming and streaming content.”
