How Good Does the PS3 (Games) Look If I Don't Have a HDTV?

I had an HDTV(1080p to boot) before I had my ps3, and honestly, when I go to my friends house to play on their standard TVs, I don't know how they do it

Even my friends with 360s, they can't even brag if a game has better graphics, because uh, it doesnt matter on their TV

HD is just the thing of the future, and right now really, but eventually everyone will/should have HD TVs

TVs are tricky, because you always want to have the best/newest one, but they are always coming out with better newer ones, so no matter what yours is outdated. Lesser HDTVs are really cheap right now because 1080p is top of the line, but I think if you were to buy a 1080p you would be safe for a while, since hardly anything can even broadcast at 1080p,, but there isn't and overwhelming difference if you decide to go with a lesser model. Brand also make a difference

You should make the choice on what TV is good for you, but it should at least be some sort of HDTV

i never played it on a sdtv. this gen is about hd so i would get a hdtv be4 u bought a ps3.

ive seen a really nice 50`+1080p hdtv for 1600 bucks that comes with a free ps3 on newegg a few months ago

I asked this too. People said it looks pretty good, but if you already played on an hd then you are going to have "eye sores". As long as you are starting on an sd, it will look as good as 360's High def.mccoyca112

its like playingBioshock with all high graphics on an old tube monitorGamerboi27

I have a normal tv now and I didnt play ps3 in hdtv but when I am seeing it ,really hdtv show all the detailes of the graphics ,so yah now a days I want to get warhawk but I am saveing for hd,the good games that I want all would release in 2008 ,so I am just trying to get my self away from the new games cause I Want to get hdtv.

games still look good with a sdtv, but they are optimal when using a hdtv...

OK im sorry mate but your wrongabout saying that hardly anything can broadcast at 1080p right now cuz uh... my freaking projector that has a fricking huge screen that i watch TV with on my wall goes PAST 1080p and it really doesnt matter about whether you have an HDTV or not because games are about having fun playing the game not about the graphics. also all your doing by getting an HDTV is trying to keep up with the "in thing" which you will find will constantly outrun you

It's really not that bad, I spend a quite some time before I was able to save up for HDTV. The games look fine, of course they will look better on HD, because the system takes advantage of highest image quality.

Until you can afford a good HDTV, it will be fine. I had no issues with it.

it still looks pretty amazing in standard so dont worry about it

you will not be getting the full glory but you will still be in awe

Not as good as they would look if you did have an HDTV, that's for sure. But even on an SDTV, the graphics are a big leap over PS2 games. But you really need Hi-Def to get that Holy **** factor going with the PS3.
