Can you watch a Blu Ray through your PS3 without HDMI cables?

Question

My husband and I just bought a 55" Sony TV and I am surprisng him with a PS3 with games and Blu Ray movies. Do I need to buy an HDMI cable for it to work? I want to watch a movie Christmas Day but don't have an HDMI cable yet just what came with the PS3.

Answer 1

You don't need a HDMI cable, as you can connect the PS3 to your TV via scart socket/RGB lead included

It is recommended you get a HDMI cable at some point as you'll be able to fully experience high defintion, such as higher resolutions, colouring and scaling, plus different types audio modes through your HDTV.

Answer 2

You can connect it via AT LEAST a component (or RGB as mentioned above) - or will not get any picture from BluRay.  Sores are still opened - get HDMI cable!
