I recently bought a 27" HDTV and PS2 games looked terrible. Read more about that here.

As I understand it, very few PS2 games actually support HD signals, so I'm wondering if it would be a waste of money to buy a PS2 component cable. But my question is also whether that would affect the DVDs I watch with the PS2.

To my knowledge it'd increase the quality of the DVD slightly. It's nothing in comparison to running regular dvds on a HD DVD though, which is much better.

You might also find this useful, as it tells you what PS2 games run in 16:9, 480, etc. Surprisingly there's very few, which is disappointing. All other consoles, including Dreamcast, seem to do a better job over the PS2 when it comes to 480p.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Basically the store had all of their HDTV's hooked up to HD DVD players to show off their capabilities.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The only PS2 game which supports 1080i is Gran Turismo 4.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't even know why they bothered. Most PS2 owners don't have HDTVs, so putting 1080i into a single game is just weird and seems pretty pointless in my eyes.

There's hardly any games on the PS2 which support 480p, but 1080i? It just sound absurd.

It's really strange. I mean, almost every GC game has this mode. Same with Dreamcast, the only console known to automatically upscale.

I really don't mind though. At the moment I'm using component on my PS2 and it looks great, so anything above that isn't really necessary. My Wii looks equally as good with composite, which is odd. I'll probably change sometime in 2007.

I think this answers most of your problems. There aren't very many games that actually use 480p, but component alone should be fine.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
