Is the psp the same as a ps2?

The video out feature over component is actually kinda lame, its letterboxed down way too small, the cord is too short for most setups, and it's awkward using the system with a cord on the bottom.

An external scaler can fix the issue with the component out not taking up the full screen, if it's that big of a deal.

As for the official Sony component cord being too small, just buy a third party one. The one I'm using right now is 15' or something--more than long enough.

Shame the PS2 and PSP never had much connectivity.

Guess it came too late for it.

The PSP is a completely different thing. I love it, but you have to think of it as a completely different system. Discounting it because it's not as awesome as the PS2 is silly - just don't expect a PS2 Nomad or whatever.
