Im getting a Fatty PS3 in the middle of this month.
My monitor does not have Speakers or an HDMI in.
Is there a way I can use the PS3 on my current monitor until I can get a TV at the end of the month?
Im not about to hook it up to my old fat TV. That would look horribad and I wouldnt be able to read anything.
It does not have to be pretty, and it doesn't have to work too well, I just want to be able to use my PS3 and enjoy it a bit when I get it rather than leave it in the box for 2 weeks until I can buy a TV for it.
Im thinking something like an HDMI to DVI for Video and im drawing a complete blank for sound.

Why wouldn't you just use a straight HDMI cable? Your monitor has an HDMI input on it so just use one to connect your PS3 to your LCD for now.

my monitor only has dvi and vga. So i connect my monitor to PC via VGA, and connect my PS3 w/ dvi to HDMI adapter+ hdmi cable. you can get one off of monoprice. you can get rca to 3.5mm adapter for speakers too from monoprice or amazon.

i just press a button on my monitor to switch between ps3 and pc

Thats pretty much what im looking at doing.
Ill also need a female-female 3.5mm adapter for the audio though.
