Also, is there any difference on image quality between PS3 and Xbox 360, since the Xbox is 720p?
Thanks in advance.

whoever told you that you can only watch BD over HDMI is full of crap. you can watch BD over component at resolutions up to (and including) 1080i; full 1080p requires HDCP compliance, which means HDMI (and a compliant TV?).
this means, of course, 480i/p, 720p, 1080i.
as to whether there is a difference between how PS3 and the 360 look, that's a whole new, very subjective can of worms. all i can say is that uncharted and ratchet are the most gorgeous games i have ever seen.
