Yes with Propriatary Sony Component Cables. Here's a Link. http://www.GameStop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802600
PS3 has a HDMI output that can take the PS3 HDMI combo A/V cable that comes with the console when purchased and is used for standard 480 TVs or you can use an optional PS3 Component and HDMI cable or a HDMI cable with the HDMI plug on both ends. So on every PS3 cable one end has a HDMI plug that goes into the PS3 and the other end of the cable has different connections including one optional cable with S-Video on the other end.

∙ 11y agoNo, to play your ps3 in HD you must have a HDMI cable. Nowadays they are going really cheap
Amazon America= $7.99
Amazon UK= £4.99-£9.99
Hope t helps
You can connect it to the HD component on your HDTV with no problem. Sony PS3 accessories even sell the cable for just that purpose. PS buying the cheap HDMI cables is not the way you want to go. Some are so cheap that shipping costs more than the cable.

∙ 14y agoNo while the graphics are better than a PS2's without a HDMI cable You will still need one to play in HD.
You can use a PS3 component cable to connect your HDTV to the PS3 and they are sold at Target.com, Walmart.com, Best Buy, and a number of other store. Instead of a single RCA video plug that is present on the A/V cable that came with the PS3 they have either an S-video plug or 3 RCA video plugs plus the two sound plugs. Your HDTV must be able to be connected to the component cable, but most HDTVs have either HDMI, component, S-Video, or a combination of the inputs. If you connect your HDTV with the A/V cable that came with the TV it will not be in HD, but it will still work just like TV shows that are not in HD work.

∙ 12y agoOne end of the PS3 cable is an HDMI or it can not be connected to the PS3. The other end can be A/V like the one than came with the PS3, it can be a PS3 component or S video cable and connect to HDTVs without HDMI plugs, or it can be HDMI and the PS3 does not require a HDMI cable that says it is for the PS3. Only the first one is used to connect standard 480 TVs to the PlayStation 3, but is can also be used to connect HDTVs to the PS3 and receive 480 or standard TV reception. People who connect the PS3 to an HDTV with the A/V cable should consider purchasing a HD cable before they buy the next game.

∙ 10y agoyeah of course if you have a HDMI cable.
If you think the PS3 includes something that will allow you to see and hear it without a connection to some device you would be wrong. All Playstation consoles needed to be connected to some form of television like device. Only the portables, PSP and PS Vita, allow you to see and hear without it being cconnected to a TV.

I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync.
