I am. I'm already enjoying my PS3 on SDTV. I only have 2 games so far, MGS4 and Oblivion. Graphics are already amazing. I'm not a graphics fan so I won't buy an HDTV just to enhance graphics. :)

EDIT:

My tv..

I could clearly read texts playing 2-3 meters away. :)

I play on my HDTV most of the time. Sometimes I need to capture footage from it for movies n stuff...It feels very awkward to say the least.

I dont like playing on SD

I only have MGS4 and Uncharted at the moment and the games look great on my SDTV, I understand it will look better on a HDTV but for now I'm happy with my TV and don't plan on upgrading till atleast late 2009.

I don't really have any problem with text on my SDTV when I play MGS4 and Uncharted.

I play mine on a 20" SDtv but i used to play it on a 46" HDtv(broke it after only 4 months of use sucks). At first it sucks getting used to it and reading the text, especially in COD4,is kinda hard.

I have an HDTV at home but sometimes I play on a SD set. Certain games are alot harder on the smaller SD Screen. Burnout Paradise for example.

I played it on an 27" SDTV when i got my PS3(MGS4 bundle), and I was like, "I bet this would look soo much better on an HDTV". Less than a week later I went out and bought an 57" HDTV and the difference was amazing. Like, i could read all the little text when I look at enemies with the Solid Eye equipped, and I could see all kinds of neat new things when playing Pixel junk Monsters.(I thought the character was a bug before)

All in all, it made a huge difference and I believe it's how the PS3 is meant to be played, I don't think I could go back to the SDTV...

I'm perfectly fine with playing my PS3 on a SDTV. The graphics are still great but I think I'll get an HDTV in less than a year to enjoy my PS3 more.

Once you go HD, you never go back.

I play in 1080i. I switched back from component cables to the old AV cables (red, yellow, white) and I almost gouged my eyes out.

The only problem I have with SDTV is that the text is so small. I've played on an HDTV without HDMI cables tho and it looks good.

I never tried to play on an SD tv... I guess it's because I am a graphics kind of person and enjoy watching eye candy at its greatest quality.
