Default Have Problem and seeking Advice Round 2 (bad HDMI cable)

Hi,

I have a launch date 60Gb Ps3 that I bought Nov 27, 2006 (I came away from camping with a raincheck so it took a few days.)

Since the latest FW update I get noise from the audio. I don't know if the PS3 is messed up or my AVR is messed up because I've only had the AVR for a week.

Both are covered by warranty (I bought extended warranty for the PS3.)

I just talked to Walmart via the phone and they said I could bring it in for a refund. This would allow me to buy a 40Gb and have $200 left over for Blu Rays. This sounds fun,.. even if the PS3 isn't the cause of the problem.

My other option is to wait for a new FW to come out and try updating the PS3 again. I can't re-apply the existing FW because the PS3 says it's already up to date.

I can send out the AVR but I'm not sure I trust the people I bought it from and I'm not sure the AVR is at fault since this didn't happen till I did the latest FW update. And,.. I can use the AVR for other sources without trouble and if I use it with the PS3 via HDMI in STEREO mode it works.. just not any of the other modes.

I don't know what to do. .... Going back and getting the 40 sounds fun because it leaves me with extra cash for Blu Rays or maybe a couple of DualShock controllers but I'm not sure if I would miss the 60GB system.
