What the topic says. It's not required at all. I played PS3 in standard def for months, and it still looked amazing regardless!!! Very amazing. I just figured I'd say this because I've heard so many potential buyers say that they though otherwise!

Yes, I am aware. I did this because it's mostly PS2 fanbase that fear it won't play without HD.

Are you aware that the ps2 is the better platform with games right now, instead of this new 700 dollar ps3 that sports blueray (which is useless on non hd tvs), and has no backwards compatibility.

I think youd have to be pretty stupid to think you could only play the PS3 in HD.

Yes, I knew that. And no, it's not why I'm avoiding the PS3. I want games! And the PS3 doesn't have any. I'd much rather have a 360, but it's probably too late to still get one of those (when thinking back to the Xbox). The Wii also doesn't have anything interesting. So this might actually become the first generation I've ever skipped.

I see you like to write big so:

You cannot play PS2 games on the 40GB.

(However it's about 100% BC with PS1 games.)

oh, and you don't have to burn your PS2 when you buy a PS3.

The alternative next-gen systems don't play PS2 games at all, and you can't just stay in the past. Eventually developers will stop making PS2 titles.

yes i am aware. and yes the fact that i dont have a ps3 rite now is partly due to the fact that the television i currently own has lost most of its brightness and shows very dark. so i needed a new tv nehow so i decided to hold off on buying the PS3 to purchase a 42' sharp aquos hdtv, which shud be here in a few days :). so phase 1 complete. ps3 here i come :D

Mua ha ha ha ha ha.
All this uproar and the guy who created this thread only wanted to inform that the PS3 supports the old standard TV. :lol:


Stop your fighting and cool down. To resume some of the info:
-PS3 supports the old standard TV.
-The NEW 40Gb PS3 DOESN'T have PS2 backward compatibility (check this out).

Thanks for the compliment on my STi!!!

I only opened this thread because I see a lot of people asking if they can play without it on the PS3 forums. I figured this was a pretty common question, and I know a lot of people also do not get on the PS3 forums unless they have a PS3.
