Will Blu Ray DVDs play on 1080i Resolution?

[Easywolf32]

Hi,

This is my curent TV SET:

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-46H83-46-HDTV-Projection/dp/B000093URM

and:

http://www2.shopping.com/xPF-Toshiba-46H83

Broadcast Format Supported 1080i (HDTV) • 480p (EDTV) • 480i (SDTV) • 540p

I want to buy a PS3 mainly for it's Blu Ray dvd option and of course for games, not to mention the fact that 20th Century Fox has sided with Blu Ray. I also have a bunch of PS2 games I wouldnt mind playing from time to time.

My questions are:

1.) Will my TV set support a PS3 and Blu ray dvds at 1080i resolution?

2.) After reading this I am confused as to what cables I should buy if any?: Also, to suit your TV's specification, you can now select the video output format (automatic, RGB, or Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr) for Blu-ray disc playback using an HDMI cable.

3.) Does my TV have/need HDMI.

4.) Which is the latest firmware update and are they easy to get/install?

5.) Do I need to buy a remote control or does it come with a basic one?

6.) WIll I see a huge differance with my Blu Ray Dvds on 1080i resoltion compared to the dvds im currently watching on my PS2.?

7.) Do I get XBOX and HD/DVD instead since they fully support 1080i?

Would appreciate any help and simple answers thx!
