HDMI 1.3 is backwards compatible with the old ones.

Not all HDMI cables can carry a 1080p signal. The vast majority of HDMI cables currently available only support the 75MHz 720p/1080i signals. They aren' t even tested at >165MHz speeds and most are catagorized (spelling?) Catagory 1 (or class 1).
If you want to play in 1080p you' ll need a Catagory 2 (class 2) capable cable supporting speeds >165MHz (up to 340MHz).
If you want a 1080p capable HDMI cable you' re going to be paying around $100 or £65 in the UK. It' s possible that they are available cheaper but they' d likely be shit cables.
The thing is, how many people will want to play in 1080p?!

I don' t think many people wil be playing in 1080p - those TV' s are way to expensive.Maybe in 2008 this will be the new trend , but for now it' s all about 720p (and that' s what PS3 games support mostly).
You can get 3000$/m cable for your speakers if you want to, so I' d say there will be even more expensive HDMI cables for PS3 , but there are cheaper ways to connect your PS3 with your TV and also through HDMI.

how about this, I' ll play on 1080p when Sony can make it happen. See y' all 2008.
This gamestop thing really is pretty competitive if they' re silver plated and Cat2. I don' t think there are all that many Cat2 cables out yet though, so I wouldn' t expect really competitive prices from anyone.

You can play 360 in 1080p if you have a nice upscanning device - PS3 will mostly upscale to 1080p from 720p - so the native piscture will mostly be 720p
