I want a well coloured and contoured USB hub which plugs into one or two of the existing USB ports then runs horizontally along the length of the front providing more ports.

While on the subject of cables and converters, would this be of use to anyone?

Still a bit on the pricey side but may be useful…

@16+48 : You have to be careful when buying a DVI monitor for your PS3, the MUST suport HDCP - not all screens do. Double check before you buy.

@ 16 : I’ve been searching and it seems that if you have DVI or DVI-D monitor you want to hook your PS3 up to it, you could just use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Professional-DVI-D-Cable-Playstation/dp/B000R41RSS/ for the image and then possibly this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phono-Female-3-5mm-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q8KSS0
for sound. Definitely not an audiophile setup, but for around Â£15 it should work with your existing monitor.
I’m going out later today to get a HDMI to DVI-D cable so will report back as to how it works.

Ahh, the data has to slow down for the corners that makes sense now…

I few forums suggested it was the Samsung LCD in the end because it outputs the audio before the picture because the picture takes time to be processed. Apparently I need a surround sound receiver which has got an option for audio delay or A/V syncing

(it was a new Samsung receiver as well btw)

@44:
It definately isn’t Sony or Samsung’s fault. I have my PS3 connected to a samsung surround amp by optical and that is connected to 5.1 Yamaha speakers. It’s perfect! I would seriously consider trying a different optical cable. If the one you are using is poor quality or has a bend/break in it, the data would be delayed.

I tried connecting a decent surround sound unit to my PS3 via optical but the delay between the picture and audio made it unusable, complete waste of money. Sony blamed it on the Samsung TV, Samsung blamed it on the speakers, the speaker people blamed it on Sony…

This guys needs to do some better research, just like PodlingJuice said the Logitech set interferes with the WiFi signals. Instead of taking one channel to use, it uses all of them.
Better go for the 5500, better bounce aswell.
