no you do not have to have an hdmi for ps3 but i would recommend it to play your games in hd because hdmi stands for hi-definition multimedia interface.
The HDMI cable is for the PS3 to connect to HDTVs and is not needed for standard TVs which do not even have HDMI inputs. If your TV has HDMI inputs you need to purchase a HDMI cable before you spend your money on a new game, Movie, download or anything else because it is not giving you a picture from the PS3 in HD

You don't need to. The PS3 comes with the A/V cable that has HDMI input for the side that goes into the PS3 and three RCA color coded plugs on the other side. If you want to use a HDMI cable all that is needed to to purchase one and plug it in to your HDTV HDMI input and into the PS3 If you want another cable that came with the PS3 ask around everyone using the PS3 with a HDMI cable has an unused PS3 A/V cable stuff somewhere
