You must get a PS2 Component Lead, the difference in all games is amazing,

I changed my DVD lead from compersit to component, but did not notice hardly any difference, but got the PS2 component lead anyway as GT4 USA version has the option for 1080 if you use a component lead, so got it just for this.

but when I used it the differance was amazing, I had a Toxic Bios with HDD, and even in the menu you can notice a masive diffance, the text was very clear, before you had a slight haze. but now its cristal clear.

So if you TV has got componet option you must get the lead.
you must set the PS2 to component in the menu to get it to work though.

Sorry if this is old new, but I was just so impressed, shame I did not know about this before, esp as I have a PS3 soon.

glad you like it. Yeah it is kind of old news but some people still may not know about component cables. I have been running my Xbox and PS2 through them for a while now. Even bought a component cable switcher box so i can run 4 devices through component cables and only take up one space on the TV.
this is what i bought

LOL^^^^^^ :)

Yeah, i bought a upscaling DVD player. works great for DivX files but you really can't tell a difference in regular DVD's
My HDMI slot is yet to be filled :(
Not real sure about the PS3, Just do not trust Sony these days. They are already pulling a chip out of it for the Euro release just to make it cheaper. But this will hurt it's backwards compatibility. And you can be sure that they will do it in future releases in the US just to save some money as they are getting eaten alive in the price wars right now because the PS3 is WAY over priced.

I will stick with my modded 360 thank you very much :)

I think I want to "upgrade" my stock PS2 composite cable in anticipation of getting my Sony SXRD ISF calibrated soon. These should help since he'll calibrate that input as well. Where did you buy your cables BTW and how do they compare to Sony's component video cables (i.e. build quality)?

TIA

You will not have any problems with the Psyclone cables. YOu can look at a picture of those compared to other brands and see that they are constructed much better. Those are what i bought when i got mine. My component switcher is also from Psyclone.
