I’ve been telling people for the past few years to just purchase cheap HDMI cables for your PS3. I was never a fan of Monster Cable and thought their component cables were outrageously priced. I used basic RCA cables for my component hook up and never had a loss of quality. I thought the same would be the case for HDMI. I have some $20 cables and they display my video just fine.

The original Lost Planet and its expanded version seemed to have limited popularity in the past two years (2.2M+), so Capcom is releasing the sequel for Xbox 360 (no mention of PC or PS3). The game picks up ten years after the original and will be tapping into Capcom’s newest dev tool. An upgraded multiplayer suite will include a 4-player coop campaign mode.
