Not really.
As has been pointed out with respect to the X360 and 1080p over component outputs, there are few TVs which will take 1080p over component, regardless of the content, whether movies or games.
The 1080p displays released, at least in the US, use HDMI.
And there are PS3 games, including those to be released in the first year, which will support 1080p. So to get those to display 1080p, you would most likely need HDMI.
As a matter of fact, there is not one HDTV sold in Europe which doesn't have HDMI. It's actually part of the standard here. No HDMI and you can't be called HD-Ready (our HDTV badge). Same for component, ability to display at least 720p and a couple other things. It's the law and you are protected against sales men trying to sell you "HD-Ready TVs" which don't actually fullfill the regulations. Take that as you wish

DVI with HDCP will get you HD ready badge... I have one. Offcourse all the other reguirement have to be fulfilled also.

It'd be interesting to find out how many 1080p displays come with a VGA input.
Of course, but that's basically HDMI without sound :smile:
