If I get a HDMI cable for a PS3, will there be any improvements if I get connect it to a SDTV?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
Standard Televisions don't have HDMi ports m8. HDMI is only for HDTVs.

full of win your not very full of.... i won't say lol.
hdmi=HDTV
rgb(red,white,yellow)=SD or SDTV
Wow, just wow.
Ignore the people telling you HDMI is for HDTV only, there are plenty of NON HDTV's that have HDMI interfaces.
To answer your question, HDMI will enable 480P whereas the NonHD cabling will offer 480i
It is a decent increase, depending on screensize.

that's news to me. and these tv's also have hdcp?
I can tell, as you PooPoo'ed the OP.
HDMI is a connection type, nothing more, nothing less.
It is capable of delivering up to 1080P (1440P some would tell you) and does just fine on 480P displays.
Here is an LG 480P plasma with HDMI in, as a quick start

Edit, yes, they will have HDCP as well, its part of the HDMI spec :)
And there are plenty of SD CRT's with HDMI as well
This is the first holiday season where SD has started to REALLY go away, as late as this january, you could get a 32inch CRT with multiple HDMI, and other inputs, from the big chain stores.
Ive seen 720p and ED tvs with HDMI. Still if you got the cable use it on the standard, otherwise wait until you get a nicer tv
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
