No, you do not. The PlayStation 3 comes with an A/V cable (the cable that has the red, yellow, and white cords) which hooks up perfect to a TV with those slots, HDTV or not. You can buy, however, cords that are HDTV compatible only, with an HD picture (as A/V cables do not support HD).

What do you need to play the PS3?

It depends what type of TV you have. If you have a standard TV, all you need is the PS3, and all the connection cables that come with it. Once there connected, all you need is some games to play.

Do you need a big tv for the PS3?

By big, I'm assuming you're referring to the size of the TV. No, but it would look better. HD tv's are suggested since the true color of the ps3 comes out at 720p.
