Amazing Quality!

I have been using my composite cables that came with my PS2 ever since I bought it. When one of the audio cables stopped working, I decided to grab these Component AV Cables instead. DEFINITELY the right decision.

THe quality when watching DVDs is outstanding, and I've noticed an overall sharpness in my games. The plugs are very sturdy, even more so than the launch cables. If you are in the market for PS2 AV cables, skip the composite ones and go with these component cables!

Does not upconvert

Go with HDMI or DVI-HDMI if you can. PS3 can not upconvert dvds through this cable, it can only upconvert through the hdmi.

I actually had a difficult time getting this cable to work with my tv. I have an older Samsung hdtv which doesn't allow 480i in at the component connectors. As such, it took a while to adjust the video settings on the PS3. The second problem was when I went to play an old dvd, it wouldn't play on the tv because of the same 480i issue. Since component cables are not allowed to carry upconverted signals, the signal from old dvds is 480i, which doesn't make much sense with getting a PS3 to act as a BluRay, and I assume your only dvd, player.

So my old hdtv has DVI in but no HDMI, so I went with a cheap DVI-HDMI cable from Amazon, and that solved my problems. The audio is routed through the RCA stereo plugs, but one could also use the optical out for audio. DVI does not carry audio signals like HDMI does.

I am no longer using this cable.

PS3 component cables

I have an old tube tv, with component input. I have conected this cables to my PS3, and you have no idea how improved the picture. Works perfectly and I STRONG recomend it.

Worth it to get the Sony Brand cables

For those who don't know, HDMI and component cables offer much better image quality (clarity, contrast, sharpness) than standard cables (called composite) that are included with the PS3. There has been a trend to manufacture "cheaper" (less quality) component cables as of late, because most people with are opting for HDMI, those who have HD tvs (which i don't happen to have.) I tried a third party manufacturer's ps3 component cable and not only did i get some "static" in the picture quality, but the sony cable produced a much better image. This is because the Sony brand cable is a high quality product (OFC copper and gold connectors.) A component cable will make a huge difference in your movie and game play experience, and I would definitely suggest getting a good one, like this one from Sony, versus other "poorer" quality cables offered by other companies.

PS3 or PS2 Component AV cables

Works as advertised - gets me up to 1080i output on my Playstation 2. Even though it says PS3 it does work on a PS2 just fine. GT4 and Tourist Trophy look awesome on my Sony 46" LCD TV.

Make Your PS2 better

I was pretty ignorant of the difference a component cable could make. When we bought an much bigger HDTV, the PS2 games looked really awful on it. All washed out and grainy. Of course some people in the house felt the answer was a PS3 but I couldn't bring myself to drop 600 on it at this time so...for 20 bucks I ordered this cable. I was shocked at how much clearer and crisper the picture is on the games. It's not HD but its not too shabby. For a savings of 580 I can live with it for a good long time and so can the whiny tech obsessed males of the household. It was worth the money and I recommend it.

Looks Great, PS2 Compatible

The product summary doesn't mention it, but the box these come in DOES state that it's for use with Playstation 3 and Playstation 2.

I actually bought these for use with my Playstation 2 and was not disappointed. The difference between the output on the standard cable and this cable on a 61" HDTV is enormous! God of War looked blurry before, but now running it in progressive widescreen mode (480p) the difference is like night and day. Gran Turismo 4 outputs to 1080i and is amazing!

If you have HDTV and a Playstation 2 get this cable, don't worry that the product description doesn't mention playstation 2, the box does.

great cables

provide improbements and no noise

i like it very much since i only have and sd tv with components inpunt and i have a clear image now this cables are very worthy !!
