>_>

You do not need an HDTV to watch blu-ray movies. If you watch it on an SDTV, it would just look pretty much like a normal DVD.

Why would anyone pay the extra money to watch a bluray movie on sdtv? Just grab the regular dvd and you'd have exactly the same thing. The limitation to dvds is based on your tv itself. Granted high def dvds look better on hdtv, but regular dvds look better on hdtv vs sdtv also.

Well, Einstein, maybe it's because he already has a PS3? Think about it. Yeah, he only has an SDTV today, but in the future he'll likely have an HDTV. So why not buy the HD videos today?

Even though you don't need an HDTV to watch Bluray movies, it's definitely worth it to get an HDTV so you can enjoy the full effect of Bluray. It's awesome. I guess you can get a Bluray disc so if you get an HDTV in the future, you can use it. Nowadays, LCD and Plasma HDTVs are very reasonable, especially during this christmas time. If you really look, and you just want a 720p/1080i, you can get a Plasma for even cheaper, although I would pay a little extra to get an LCD. You can get a 42" LCD with 1080p at some places for around one thousand. Good luck.

Does the PS3 have a 3rd party VGA cable? If it doesn't, is there any other way that I'd be able to play on a computer monitor?

People say you can use an HDMI to DVI cable, but I don't know wtf that is ><
