No it can be used with any TV that has audio and video inputs. If you have a 1080 P HDTV you will get a better picture and be able to play Blu Ray Discs

How do you hook up your ps3 with out an internet connection?

Plug it into your TV with the cable that came with it or if you have a HDTV buy a HDMI cable and plug that into your HDTV and PS3.. Plug the power in and turn it on. You should see it on your TV screen and if not turn your TV to the same input you plugged the PS3 into. Owners of the 720P HDTVs or those without HDMI can buy PS3 component cables with 5 color coded connections that use RCA plugs for the HDTV inputs. Both the HDTV 1080p and 720 HDTV owners can connect with the A/V cable that came with the PS3, but then it will be standard 480i from your PS3

go to bestbuy and ask them for hdmi for ps3 or eb gamesFirst you need to determine if your TV has a HDMI, component ,or A/V input. Once you have that information the PS3 cable you purchase must match what the TV has for input. If your TV does not have a HDMI plug then you do not buy a converter, you purchase a PS3 component cable or use the A/V cable that comes with the PS3.
