I would rather connect it to my PC monitor rather than my TV as this is where my modem is. How do I use it with my PC speakers? Do I need special cables?

Monitor - BenQ FP241W

Speakers - Creative Inspire 5300

nope I don't have wireless.

would this only work if the PC was on?

How would I do it with the PC off?

I want the PC off method, So looking at those adapters, Red and White PS3 cable to the RCA jack, then what? I can't plug anything into my subwoofer(where the speakers are connected) as it has no line-in, only outputs.

EDIT:

It's ok, ust looked at the woofer lol

that should work thanks

lol

After all that I bet I wimp out and decide not to buy the PS3 after all lol.

It's funny, I don't blink when I buy a GTX285, but buying a PS3 has me all humming and Hawwing.

I'm just going for SF IV at the moment

Is the Hori stick any good? Found one for £9

It's bloody heavy isn't it! My arm is dead now.

Ok gonna have lunch and set it up later.

just played through the arcade mode on medium 3 round matches and beat Seth first time lol. you really have to think fast after the first time you beat him don't you lol

I'm having trouble doing my Ultra combos with ken though, I really need 6 thumb buttons or a fight stick.

played online for a few games, won 2 lost 3. I really don't like the gaps in the d-pad. Can I use any USB pad with the PS3?

Do you leave the PS3 on Stand by or switch it off at the back when your done?

Yeah pretty much any standard usb pad should be fine, you can get one of these beauties (SEGA Saturn USB Controller Gamepad) from a certain auction site, they are brilliant for street fighter and retro games on your PS3/PC.

Just tried my Saitek P2500 on it. It works!

I just had to spend time finding out which button is what though.

How do I get it to work with my soundcard? I have it plugged in to the line in of my Xonar D2X using the phono to 3.5mm jack adapter but I don't have any sound, It works fine the other way, I just thought I would try it.
