Hi,

Is it possible to connect the PS3 to a standard tv using a simple av cable? or does it connect to HDTV's only?

yeah, you can connect it to a normal TV via an a/v cable but for best quality use a HDMI cable to a HD tv, i'm probably gonna do that

Mines connected to a SDTV, through component cable. You can also connect with the normal cables too.

Yes it does work with SDTV's. You can use the standard composite AV cable that it includes or upgrade to component if your TV suppourts it.

Im using an SD, and so far, I havent been able to play 1 game, not because it wont display, but because I cant read the font. The game is Condemned 2 but you can get a PC monitor and a VGA box too. That isnt expensive at all, and it is what Im going to do soon.

The PS3 comes with SD cables

Actually the only thing that may other you is that on GTA4 dar kalley ways and places with little light sometimes look black BUT its still playable in these conditions. Just thought I'd add that :P
