PS3 on standard tv?

The best/biggest tv screen I've got in my house is mediocre... at best. It's a decent size, but it's not plasma, LCD, HD or anything like that. Are the PS3's beautiful graphics and effects gonna be lost on me? :(

I'm actually in the same dillema as you, while my Tv might be new it is not HD or anything. Can anybody shed light on this problem? Will effect the quality of gaming? Because I am planning on getting a PS3 soon.

The games still look next generation, they just look better on a HDTV. Like Dimb above said sometimes the edges get clipped. I didn't let it stop me from getting a ps3 and xbox 360 elite before the HDTV.

No it wont, games from insomniac have the font mad for SDs too, but even in games were the font is not good, as in Lair or Motorstorm, its easy to read. I have an SD, will be posting shots later to help ease your minds :D. Dont worry, it still looks FANTASTIK. I mean, its not as trolls said or elitists, its still way better than PS2, I mean, wayyyyyyyy better.

As for the gameplay. Most games have the screen already set up, but others as Lair you will need to change that. Lair has an option to do so, I mean, shrinking the sides of it.

Thanks alot, I was going to buy one eventually but everytime I had a chance I would hesitate. Next time I have the oppurtunity I'll make sure I buy without any worries.
