PS3 and non-HD TV

[teunis]

Good day all,

I have finally twisted a co-workers rubber arm far enough for her to buy an 80G PS3 for her boyfriend. She had to go to Futureshop as Best Buy was sold out. She was also jipped a bit on the games that it was supposed to some with so she got two different titles for $20 off the cover price. Rip-off me thinks, as it should have the original games for free. Anyways...

The sales person told her that she has to have an HD TV. I'm pretty sure you can plug this baby into any darn TV set that you want, using compatible cables. Is this sales person just f@$ckin' with her? Can she not simply use component wires until the boyfriend gets an HD TV?

Hey, while we're at it, he will need some good games. I think he's a sport guy, where I am not so much... so any good sport game suggestions would be nice. I know he's getting Madden to start out with. I think he should try COD4 and Resistance, just for kicks, even though not sport games.

Your responses are greatly appreciated.
