Do Games still look good at 720p?

Im buying a PS3 soon and I'm about to move up too blu-ray and high def. content. I believe my TV is 720p and my friends dad gave me this silver cord and he said its for the high def stuff.

1. So you plug the HD cord in to the 720p TV and the PS3?

2. Even though its not 1080p is their still a difference in quality that is notciable?

3. So all i need is the 720p, the PS3, the expensive High-def cord, and a game, then im good to go for high-def gaming?

Any information would be greatly appreicated.

Well if the screen is smaller than around 42" you won't see the difference between 1080p and 720p. Also you don't even need a expensive HDMI(which is a High-Def cord), you can get cheap ones no difference really between a $80 cable and a $10-20 cable. Most PS3 games only run at 720p anyway.

Yeah, it's not like you'd be missing out on anything if you've got 720p. Be happy with it, I know a lot of people who still use SDTVs. :(

Yeah its progressive scan, which is better than the plane jane 480i. I got the component cables, but I'm missing the major component....the TV.

Yes, both the PS3 and the 360 has like a little message on-screen that tells you what hi-def setting you're on. If you miss it you can go to the HD settings menu and see for yourself, and change between HD and SD if you wanted.
