Topic: Question: Will the Playstation 3 play all games on a TV that is not capable of resolution above 480p and is standard definition?

Hello there. Recently on DeviantART (I have an account there, but I don't recommend visiting my account for my pictures), I have heard a comment saying that a person with an standard definition TV incapable of more then 480p resolution could not play most of the games for the Playstation 3, so he had to get an HDTV. Knowing this and that I have an SD TV that it's maximum resolution is 480p, I'm really worried. I want to get an Playstation 3 so badly and hearing I do not want to have to play my PS3 on my grandparents TV in the living room.

So I have a question. For those who have tried it on an SD TV not capable of resolution above 480p, will all games work for the Playstation 3? I'm asking this because this is now my ultimate decider if I'll get an PS3 now. If it's true that an PS3 will not work on an TV not capable of more then 480p resolution for most games, I will skip on the system and remain an Wii/DSi owner until the next Nintendo console comes out.

No. It will work on any TV.

@RandomWiiPlayer: Thanks, but I'll take more comments from PS3 owners that played it on an SD TV before I can come to an conclusion.

"I have heard a comment saying that a person with an standard definition TV incapable of more then 480p resolution could not play most of the games for the Playstation 3"

The problem with most things you pick up on the internet is that they're full of sh*t. That person lied to you.

Yes, you can play any PS3 game on a SDTV (but it would be better just to watch SCTV. I made a funny!) My brother had one for a year before he got an HDTV and it worked fine. The only thing is just don't waste money buying blu-ray movies (unless you want the extra content) as it won't look any better than a regular DVD. If you have an S video or Compnent cable jacks on your TV it will act as an up-converter if you use those and give you a slightly better picture on even regular DVD's and games.

Now Transform and Roll out!

I'm 99.99% sure my brother plays PS3 on a standard TV.

I play on a 10 year old standard tv all the time and haven't had problems with games or bluray movies.

Phew, that's an relief.

I have palyed all of my PS3 games and watched a Blu Ray movie on a SD TV with no problems at all.

Composite cables aren't even capable of 480p so using those or even component cables you will be fine

My friends had one on an SDTV for a year, and whenever we played at their house there were no problems. You can play all the games, but they just look so much prettier in HD.
