No but to view the games in 1080p you will need a hdmi port and something about V1.3 or something, ryder will know.

You can play on a normal TV but you won't get the full HD gaming experience. V1.3? Dunno what your on about kev.

Thanks for the info but to be honest i need new one anyway cos the one i have is massive and takes up too much space. Its OLD lol

If you need a new tv anyway you might as well get an HDTV. And you really couldn't have better timing, I think they're for sale at a really reasonable price right now.

HDMI is rumored to provide better HD picture than component cables, but I've never really noticed a difference. I have both, so it doesn't really matter for me. You do not NEED an HDMI port on your TV for the PS3, but it would be a good thing to have, especially if the TV goes up to 1080p resolution. Although component cables can transmit full HD resolution, I believe that I've read in the past that the picture would be worse than HDMI, this time noticeably.

About HDMI 1.3, you only need that if you have a specific type of surround sound system. I do not remember the exact details, but unless you see that your surround sound system supports HDMI 1.3, then you do not need it. I believe that it doesn't really matter if your TV has HDMI 1.2 or 1.3 ports because it won't be sending surround sound signal through its speakers anyway.

I have to dissagree with you there about not seeing a difference Berserk_Fury, I see a noticable difference in HDMI vs. Component (I own both and tryed it on my 62" 1080p HDTV in my living room) HDMI gives supirior colors especially darker blacks and whiter whites. Everything else you said was spot on though.
