Thats a VGA plug, DVI has pins and 4 (I think) flat pins too.

Trust me. Rather get a HDMI > DVI picture quality will be so much better. You can get them almost anywhere Musica, Hi-Fi Corp, Teletek or any Audio Visual stores.

Provided your Monitor has a DVI input, of course otherwise same as above most Audio Visual places should stock them.

Thank you, but, I don't have nearly enough money for an HDMI cable, and my monitor isn't HD Ready either, that why I want it.

You can get a 1M HDMI cable for R99 sometimes even cheaper, also you can just set the PS3 to 720p instead of 1080p, doubtful on quality loss though, I have done it with a Xbox and it worked fine.

I'm using the screen in the living room to play on, but I want to use my monitor instead, that's why I want a converter.
 
Try Hi-Fi corp or any electronics store. You might get lucky there. Most converters are the other way around SVGA to RCA.
You can always get a HDMI cable and then get a HDM female to DVI Male adapter as Glordit said.
 
Is it possible to connect an HDMI to VGA cable from a PS3 to a monitor that uses VGA?

Some research shows that because it's VGA [VGA being analog], it won't work as a direct connection, since HDMI is digital.

My dad bought me an HDMI to VGA converter. Needless to say - it works brilliantly! - running games @ 720p. I just need a 2nd monitor so that I don't have to unplug the cable every time I switch from the converter to DVI adapter [for my GPU] and vice versa.

They shouldn't be too hard to find. I got an HDMI->DVI adapter from Wootware a couple years ago, but you should be able to find them on the shelf at a lot of computer shops if they have decent stock.

Mine was bought at Cafe Viva. However, it was their last one [supposedly]. You can buy one from Computer Mania as well.
