Blu-Ray on non-HD tv?

I'm considering buying a PS3, especially because of the blu-ray capabilities. Is it possible to hook the PS3 up to a normal TV and watch blu-ray discs? I know the quality won't be near as good, but will it work? Or do I have to use the HDMI hook-up for blu-ray?

You could play it by connecting your PS3 with analog, but it would be almost pointless. It'll be the pretty much the same quality as DVD (except if you have a home sound system to hook it up, then the sound would be much better), and it'll cost more.

You can get a PS3 for games if you have SD, but without a HDTV, blu-ray is practically useless.

Anyway, TVs aren't that expensive anymore. You can get a decent one for 500$ in a sale.

Thanks for the heads up, but read the post completely.

why get blu ray if it's not HD. That's the whole point. Just buy normal DVD's.

I still have a SD tv and Blu-Rays work fine on it. They don't look as great aas they should, but they still work.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! Here's why I ask: I am mostly making the switch to blu-ray when the LOST complete collection comes out. I want to be able to buy these and not have to replace them in a few years because they're outdated. So I want to buy those in blu-ray, but only one of my TVs is HD and it's like a 22" or something like that. I have a bigger non-HDTV and I want to be able to watch LOST (and others, if I buy them) on whatever TV I want. Does that make sense? Of course I will eventually buy a bigger HDTV to replace my big SDTV and then make the complete transition to Blu-Ray, but for now I'm simply planning for the future.
