I turned on my PS3 today and noticed this issue. In XMB and in most games, certain objects are surrounded by what looks like silverish/white dust. It is especially noticeable in XMB.
A quick google search revealed other people having this problem too but there is no clear solution. Some suggest getting a short, high quality HDMI cable, but for me nothign shorter than 6 feet will do.
I tried the PS3 on my parents TV, and there, the results are very strange. Sometimes when I turn the unit on, there are no white sparkles and I play for hours and everything is fine. But other times the problem happens again. On my TV, which is a relatively new TV, the problem happens all the time! I am using cheap HDMI cables that I got during a sale online, but these work perfectly fine for my Xbox and all my other devices.
Is my PS3 broken or should I just buy a good quality cable? If so which cable would you suggest?
