Well it's a business/presentation class projector, although it will show HD content it will not be in HD. You didn't post the specs, but here's what I found:

INPUTS: 15 Pin D-Sub VGA (SCART & Component via adaptor)
S-Video 4 Pin Mini Din
Composite RCA
3.5mm Stereo Jack
USB (remote mouse

Like many of these types of projectors you can use a standard VGA computer output or component outputs with the appropriate cable. Your HDMI cable conversions aren't going to work. And in the long run it makes no difference, as your PS3's component connection outputs a higher resolution than your projector can handle.
