A: You can still execute HD (720p) with the component cable package that they sell. You can purchase this from bestbuy:

or try other stores if you inclination although the price is pretty fair at bestbuy for that specific cable. This wire will not link in the HDMI port but will connect in the ordinary video out port. The HDMI is there for residents who have tv's with either an HDMI in or DVI in. After looking at the link you provided, it appears that your tv does have a DVI in. However, before you go out and obtain an HDMI to DVI adaptor, make sure you find out whether or not your tv is HDCP compatible. I advised of this sounds very confusing but to simplify: HDCP is a protection/copyright contrivance that forces tv's and the sources being connected to them to be HDCP compatible. In your case, the PS3 is HDCP like-minded but your rear projection tv might not be.
I have a JVC i'art pro purchased around 5 years ago that has similar specs with your TV and also has a DVI anchorage. I went ahead and purchased the HDMI to DVI adaptor and found out that the image would not work up since my TV did not have the current HDCP compatibilities.
As I mentioned earlier, worst comes to worst, reasonable go out and buy the component cable package as the image will still be HD, but if your tv's component inputs are already bogged down, perhaps acquisition the HDMI to DVI cable/adaptor from a store that you can return after opening the box in container it doesn't work?
Hope I helped :)
