DVI-HDMI Adapter
So I finally got around to upgrading my video cables from the standard cables that came included with the PS3 to HDMI. I have the HDMI cable, but I can't find the correct HDMI->DVI adapter. The only correct adapter I can find is this
but it is missing 2 sets of pins that my TV's DVI connection looks like. The correct cables (like this)
all have female DVI ends, whereas I need a male. Any suggestions?

Those middle pins are not needed for a DVI-D connection, which is the type of connection needed to convert to HDMI. The female connector on your TV probably includes them just so it's compatible with more plug types, but they're still not used in a DVI-D connection.
