I imagine HDMI -> Whatever adaptors will be sold. Sony is not going to leave anybody hanging.
That won't work with DRM protected content though.

Well, they do have an AV Multiout on the back of the PS3. A component/composite adaptor will probably hook up there. Pic of PS3 rear
Why does it look like the ps3 has 3 ethernet ports? wtf are you gonna do with 3 of them

I think one is the WAN while the other two look like LAN ports. Perhaps to network connect future devices that you can share media with?

tell me why it's going to be a problem for a HDMI (which is just DVI-D w/ audio) connection to be converted to a straight DVI-D even if the content is DRM protected?

in that case, almost no one can take full advantage of this unless they have a 1080p tv.

There are two problems:
First, DVI-D only supports a 24-bit RGB color signal. HDMI also supports a 24-bit RGB color signal, but it also supports a 24-bit, 30-bit and 36-bit YCbCr signal. If you have a DVI-D source and a HDMI display, no problem. If however, you have a HDMI source and a DVI-D display, you may suffer from video corruption if the transmitting HDMI device switches from RGB to YCbCr. Source
Second, a source with HDCP is required to pass the "no copy" flag along to the next device. If that receiving device does not support HDCP, the source device will disable the signal if the "no copy" flag is enabled. It can become an issue because HDCP is mandatory for HDMI, but it's optional for DVI. Thus not all DVI-D enabled televisions support HDCP.
EDIT:
Now I expect that the PS3 will most likely enforce HDCP. As such, owners who purchase a HDMI-to-DVI.D cable will be able to use their console for playing games, but not for watching movies. However, I also expect that somebody will make a mod chip that will remove that requirement, since it will piss off a lot of geeks who invested $20K in their wide-screen plasma TVs or DLP projectors.
So in the long run, I do expect that people will be able to watch HDTV DVDs on their DVI-D enabled TVs. However, once again I have yet to see a consumer level DVI-to-Component tranceiver. So again, unless Koing is correct in that a component cable will be released for the aux video port, such owners will be screwed.
From the FCC DOC:
In the Matter of:
Implementation of Section 304 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996
Commercial Availability of Navigation Devices
Compatibility Between Cable Systems and
Consumer Electronics Equipment
"For example, we concluded that, at this time, a flat ban on selectable output control is necessary
in light of the extreme consequences of an MVPD?s use of that tool. By contrast, we have
proscribed down-resolution only for broadcast content ? rather than banning this tool across the
board ? because the record demonstrates that this partial ban strikes the optimal balance among
the interests of content owners, MVPDs, manufacturers, and, most importantly, consumers."

Capable, yes. But I doubt we'll see any 1080p games for a long time because of development costs and lack of hardware out there to display it. The Xbox could support 720p and 1080i but not alot of games supported those for the same reason.

According to IGN, 1080p will be the standard resolution for games.

Personally, I'm glad I waited to jump on the HD train and will plan on getting a 1080p HDTV early next year.

The PS3 will likely not output the copy protection bit in game mode, but only for DVDs. Thus you'll need a real DVD player.

DRM can lick my nuts.
fvck sony. im not buying another hi def tv just so i can play their ps2. revolution or xbox360 for me then.
Odds are games will be HD via component. It's the movie studios that care about DRM and protections like that.
Remember that the PS3 is also a BluRay-DVD player. Given that Sony will be releasing high definition movies on BluRay, they'll want to make sure that they plug the analog gap. That may mean not supporting component analog output.
