So I just came back from a trip to the nearest Croma with the PS3 move bundle (Total impulse buy! 
Hooked it up to an ol' faithful tv to realize how sad SD can look. I have GOT to get an HD setup pronto.
What I am looking for is suggestions for a good monitor and speakers to go with the ps3. Anyone?
(Has this been discussed already somewhere? Sorry in that case! Please redirect me to the concerned thread if so...

Whats your budget ?? Also check out the respective sections for speakers and monitor maybe you'll get what you need.
Well, I am not looking for a huge monitor right now. Budget is 10-15k I guess, and I am open to cheaper full-hd suggestions as well.
Will buy a bigass hd tv later when I save up enough. From what little research I have done on the matter, I understand that all I need to look for is the monitor's hdcp compliance to be sure it works with a ps3, right? Is there a loss of quality when an hdmi-dvi cable is used (which is what I will have to use in case the monitor has only a dvi port)..
I am looking up the monitor and speaker sections, but the only doubt I have is regarding possible compatibility issues. How do you hook up a standard 2.1 speaker set to a ps3?

I am not sure about this but I guess you can connect a monitor to ps3. I'll search and tell you but if you can then you could opt for a 24" tv or monitor. Also you can connect speakers to ps3. See the link in my post.

You can connect your PS3 to your monitor , you can opt for a benq g2420HD or a e2420 HD which can be had for around 11k . These are Full HD monitors and are pretty good too .
But since you are connecting a console to it and are probably not going to sit infront of your monitor and game all time there are chances you may be lying on your couch or smwhere on ground and playing around then there will be notable color difference due to the angles.
If thats a point of concern for you , check out the Dell U2412 which is a IPS panel and has height adjustment as well as no problem of viewing angles. But its response time is slightly more hence that may be a small point of concern but this monitor will get your heart in mouth with the visuals in games and blu ray movies

Our many members using that dell monitor are having no problem at all while playing so I also suggest that monitor.

Prices of ps3 games are higher than xbox 360 games.
You can mod both the consoles but then you will void the warranty and support.

Form my very limited knowledge and few Google searches what I concluded is that XBOX 360 Modding basically allows you to play a game burned on a normal disk.
So If I buy a game I can create multiple backup copies or if I can source a ISO
file I can burn that and play.
Now Few Questions
Cant I just transfer my ISO file to XBOX HDD and play from there, I used to do the same with my old PSP.
What about PS3, everything same as XBox of Different (Talking about benefits of Modding here)

Hi,
So can I buy a PS3 in India and take it to US (Yep, the reverse of what most do) and play games bought in US in US? Would there be any issues?
Thanks.

There shouldnt be issues but hope you know about the different type of power outlet there. So a travel adapter is needed.
