I have a Toshiba 20" SD-TV, so I'm afraid if i get the PS3, I won't like it so much cause i won't be seeing the awesome visuals.

I had A Ps3 on an Sd-TV for a wile. It looked fine though. Granted, not as good as my new Hd-Tv, But it was fine.

On a side note, get both a Ps3 and a Psp :D

I have a small tv like yours, and my PS3 games still look pretty awesome. I probably won't be able to get an hdtv for a while, but it's all good :D

Get the PS3. Games will look significantly better. But you're going to have to buy an HDMI cable because the PS3 doesn't come packaged with it.

Did you read his post, he doesn't have a HDTV, so HDMI will be pointless in my opinion.

I play my PS3 on a SD. Still looks awesome, HD makes it look fantastic, but I'm happy with my SD till I (hopefully) get a HDTV by the end of the year.

buy the ps3 and if you have component hook up on your tv buy component cables. there is a big difference between component cables and regular RCA cables. i had mine hooked up to sdtv and it looked ok but when i hooked up the new component cables it was like hdtv, everthing just lit up like it was a brand new tv or somethin.

A lot of HDTV's I've looked at actually come with an HDMI cable.

I would get a PS3. The games look good on a SDTV. I played my PS3 for a few weeks on SD because my HDTV was destroyed. Luckily I convinced Best Buy to give me another one forcefully.

I don't have an HD tv yet, either. But the visuals are still NICE! However I do also have a PSP.

BUY THEM BOTH!

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going with the PS3, and with time, I'll plot an evil plan to convince my father to buy a new HDTV.

If you want for now, you could try out using it with your monitor through an HDMI - DVI cord (bout $15?) for a higher resolution.

PS3 is still great on SD, just not as great as HD. How about...get the PS3 now, while the price drop is in and all that, then get PSP later when they release the new version.
