Hi,

Thinking of getting a PS3 this week.

Only thing is that I dont have an hdtv.... only an old crt tv.

Does the playstation 3 work for old TV's or only TV's with hdmi input?

Thanks
 
...................... get an Xbox and a LCD screen for the same price ;)
 
xBox is getting discontinued next year.. so that pointless

PS3 will be around for next 10yrs

Also.. my cellphone contract expired and I like my phone... so instead will renew it and get a R3000 Makro voucher :)
 
To answer your question it will work with an old CRT... now run away before "they" rip u a new one ;)
 
each to their own .............. or get the 3k voucher and buy a Xbox Pro (probably with a game or two thrown in) and add no extra 2.3k ;)

The PS3 will work an an SDTV, in fact it only ships with an SDTV cable.

Firstly you're delusional if you think the PS3 will be around in 10 years time. Sony screwed the design and will forever make a loss on it. Mark my words (Or Peter Moores actually there's some good interviews up at the moment) PS3 will be dead before the Xbox 360. (Which will probably be replaced in 2011 at the earliest - also confirmed by Microsoft chip process roadmaps)

I strongly suggest you lose your preconceptions and do some solid reading on the 360. It's about to annihilate the PS3 this Xmas.

And either way, you pick up a 360 now for R2000, and in 2 years time if necessary you pick up a PS3 (or xbox "720") for the other R2700 you would have wasted on a PS3 now. It's win win either way.
 
I don't know how it can't be seen that the Xbox choice will save crown *shakes head*
 
Xbox getting discontinued.... SURE BUD

The highest selling console with highest selling games.

Screw Nintenchild

Voted for the most uninformend person of the year. I think he most come from 2012 where the new xbox is coming out next year, GTA5 is released and PS3 is trying to convince you that there console will still be here in 10 years.

LMFAO

Edit: I see dohc beat me to it :D

Ok ok...

Firstly... thats what 2 ppl told me... never bothered looking it up..

And when I say discontinued... I mean
There was xBox then xBox360
And apparently there a xBox(something) coming out.... that what I heard... could be bs!

Im not into gaming.. so rely on what people tell me, hence on this forum!

PS4 apparently is a long way away...

Hence by what I heard... assumed that PS3 is the way to go.

Hope that clears things up!
 
Well I would rather buy a xbox now, take the money I saved and use it to buy the next xbox when needed as the ps3 isn't that much more superior to the xbox, yes yes ps3 fanbois don't start with blu ray now. You don't have an lcd tv so don't even bother with blu ray.
