480p?

Hey guys, I´m thinking of buying a ps3 but I don´t have an HDTV yet. I´m going to buy one soon, but in the meantime I was wondering if ALL ps3 games could run on my SDTV.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, they can.

It comes with standard. You'll need an HDMI cable when you get your new TV.

dont buy those 480p cables, there not worth it. Just stick with 480i until you get an HDTV, atleast thats what i did.Javieralijandro

What kind of tv you looking at? What size? Best Buy has a 32" 720p Dynex for $329.99. If you are looking for a 1080p, they have an LG and a Sony 32" for $599.99.

@Slipwater

Thanks for the info

@dgtx42

I´m still looking, but I think I got it covered

@Everyone else

Thanks for all your help

Uh, if you have Walmart nearby, check them out quick! http://www.walmart.com/catalog/catalog.gsp?cat=648061&povid=cat14503-env172199-module110409-lLinkSP1&sourceid=00937481130396100656

Awesome deal!

@envybianchi

Thanks for the heads up, I´ll check it out

Also, I still don´t know but I think I´ll be moving to a place where the voltage is 220V. Can the ps3 work with that voltage or will I need a converter?

I think NA has a switch on the back of the PS3 to change voltages, not to sure though, as I dont live in NA.

All games work on an SD tv. But err.. You will get almost identical graphics to ps2.

Thanks for the info, I really needed to know that.

BTW, it seems that now it would be easier for me to buy a new computer monitor(with DVI input) than a HDTV. Would it be the same thing if I used the ps3 hooked up to the monitor with a HDMI to DVI cable?

Does this answer your question? :P

SDTV does not = 480p, it is 480i.wooooode

Thanks for the info guys, I really apreciate it.

I asked this question because one of my friends couldn´t play newer ps3 games on his SDTV and since he was playing PAL games on a NTSC ps3 I couldn´t be sure.

HDMI is the same as DVI, except that HDMI carries sound, and it doesn't have those pins, which are flimsy and can be broken easily.

So does that mean that I can use the HDMI to DVI cable for video and the AV cable for sound (the audio one)?ferreira1235
