Even if most of my games aren't 480p? is the jump in quiality worth the trouble of ordering these cables on amazon.

If you're using composite, yes. I busted out my PS2 a few months ago to play Sakura Wars, and I could only find the composite cables, and even on my 20" TV, it looked muddy and the text was hard to read. I bought a $5 El-Cheapo brand PS2 component cable a few days later, and it looked a lot better.

Only real reason to get them is to play games that support 480p. You can definitely see the benefit in Star Ocean 3. Which reminds me, how archaic was it for some games to get 480p going, you had to press triangle and square? with R1? or something before the game logo came up.

It's not worth it, you will see. You won't see results like the PS2 emulator pulls out. Just use your old puerto rican SDTV that you use

God of War II looks pretty good with them, but Kingdom Hearts II is still blurry.

All I remember is GT4 looking like shit through component. I'm sure it helps some games but others look terrible

My SDTV was made in Korea

PS2 is 480i only no matter what cables you use.

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** September 01, 2010, 09:26:00 PM »

Uh, yeah, but some games do allow for 480p

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #15 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:54:05 PM »

GT4 had 1080i mode.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:39:15 PM »

Lots of PS2 games on my PS3 look worse when they're in 480p. Which I always thought strange.

so don't make a big deal about it.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #17 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:45:02 PM »

yeah, it's not a huuuuge difference, but they're better nonetheless.

Rman · « **Reply #18 on:** September 03, 2010, 12:25:40 AM »

They're compatible with the PS3 if you have as well, which helps since HDMI cables don't come standard with PS3s.

Diunx · « **Reply #19 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:22:07 PM »

My cables were supposed to arrive yesterday but the driver run into some "problems" and told me that I would get them today, is 4:30 p.m. and they still aren't here smh.

Diunx · « **Reply #20 on:** September 20, 2010, 11:48:30 PM »

Got my cables! totally worth it, the image quality is so sharp and the colors look so vibrant now I can actually read the font on MvsC2

Cravis · « **Reply #21 on:** September 21, 2010, 09:16:25 AM »

The only bad thing I've found with the component cables is that some HDTVs (mine of course) can't display the PS1 games. It will split the image due to the native resolution of the games. Yes you can play them through HDMI but I miss the smoothing :'(
