I am buying a PS3 mainly for the Blu Ray option, the fact that 20th Century Fox is only making Blu Ray dvds, and to play from time to time my old PS2 titles.

My other questions are:

Will I see blu ray dvd movies in 1080i and not 480p resoltion?

Is it because of the new firmware that came out that I'm able to watch movies in 1080i? and is it easy to install the firmware updates?

Do I need to buy any seperate cables, and if, which ones? After reading this I am confused: 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.

Does my TV have or need HDMI?

Will my ps3 games play in 480p or 1080i format?

Do I need a new remote control or does it come with a basic one?

Should I plunge in and buy the PS3 today?, Ive found a decent deal as well.

Thank you all, any simple answers to these questions would be appreciated.
