Anyone connected a PS3 via component

My HDMI connector on my HDTV is broken so I am curious if you can connect PS3 via component and if so are there any major negatives. I am starting to consider a PS3 due to the quality of the exclusives.

Iirc you will be limited to 720p with Component. Picture quality probably won't be all that different from HDMI.

Thanks, 720p is all I need and it's the native resolution for most games anyway. I know that there is not much of difference on the 360 between HDMI and component.

I am a keen gamer and there is not a hell of a lot coming out on the PC and 360 this year that really interests me. I would love to get stuck into Metal Gear solid, Unchartered and Infamous looks good. Plus there are some very good looking exclusives on the horizon.
