[QUOTE="jjseth"]Well, I'm in the same boat, thinking of picking up a PS3 today and I already have a 51" HDTV that does 720p/1080i. I don't really want to upgrade to a 1080p tv yet, as the tv I have now is more then good enough. Couple questions though, does the PS3 come with component cables in the box? (I know it doesn't include the HDMI cable) Also, my tv does not have a HDMI input, but does haveboth Componentand DVI inputs. Will this affect my ability to watch blu-ray movies? (since I'd get the 5 free movies with the deal).EmperorSupreme
It doesn't include component cables, but you can find them pretty cheap online, the PS2 component cables do work with PS3. I think there is a way to use HDMI port with DVI if it HDCP compliant or something like that. I don't believe you will get the quality of the Blu-ray movies over component it has to be thru the HDMI port. Maybe if you can convert HDMI to DVI, but not sure. Hopefully this answers some of your questions. I have an HDMI set so I don't know much about the component hookups. Maybe someone else can chime in.
If the component cables from my PS2 would work, that would be awesome. And what would make the blu-ray movies look bad by using the component cable? Again, I don't expect a 1080p resolution as my TV cannot handle that but would expect them to at least look as good as 720p.
