No you don't. The regular edition comes with the cables. I bought one two years ago. I know this. It already comes with the PVR out to TV cable. You just need a PS3 component cable. And the gaming edition doesn't even come with one. The only difference is the lights.

Im pretty sure your're mixed up because on amazon it says the gaming edition comes with all the cables you need then the regular does not come with the cables you need

I'm not confused. But I bought mine directly from the Hauppauge site.

I've had no problem installing the software for the PVR, recognised it straight away.
