stupid question about component video

[AppleQueso]

For your PS2, here is a list of HD games. Note to get 480p, some require a button combo while loading. 1080i for PS2 Gran Turismo and Tourist Trophy!

wait, are you saying some PS2 games won't work through component???

They'll all work, don't worry.

They all work in Component. Some offer a higher resolution with the button load up combo. Even the ones that don't get a resolution upgrade look better with component over composite due the cleaner signal.

ah! Ok, thanks.

Yeah you can pick up PS2 component cables dirt cheap, I think mine cost about $5 or so on Amazon.

As far as plugging composite into component, I'm fairly certain that it would work, but you'd only get one color, or some other such strange thing. I have to wonder why you'd want to do that though, as presumably any TV with component in would have composite in.

I'm under the impression you didn't read the thread then? This is in regards to a Component VGA box I have hooked up to an LED monitor. Not a TV.

I got my PS2 component cable off of monoprice for like $4. It was generic, but works perfect. Makes it look way better on a HDtv.

The PS3 still uses the same A/V port as the PS2, so finding the cables shouldn't be hard at all. I think the one I have is a multi-console cable that also works for the 360 and Wii.

Not all games have progressive scan, which is (usually) what the button combination activates, though some may also do higher resolution. Not all TVs with component are progressive scan capable.

I knew the PS3/PS2 was the same port, but didn't wanna pay big $ for a component cable just cuz the packaging said "PS3." I was able to nab one online for $5, which is fine even if it means I have to wait a few days.

Oh, I guess I'm too late. I was going to say you could just simply get the PS3 component cables and they work fine, these ones. Guess you saved 5 bucks though...
