OTHER THAN MONSTER! I don't want to run one of those cheap **** component video cables I've seen but I don't want to support Monster. Any other companies that you know of that have a quality cable for the PS2? I tried searching on Y! but the first 3 pages were either cheap cables or Monster...

    Sony sells a set, and I've seen some AV packs at Target that look to be decent, but forget if they are component video.

    Do a search on ebay. That's usually the good place to go for hard to find electronics.

    seen the Sony branded one at Circuit City several times, think its around $25.

    would like to use one for my PS2 as well but don't have enough inputs!!! :D

    right now HD cable, DVD, and the Gamecube have the only 3 component inputs i have. been thinking about getting the audio authority component switch. but if i spend that much i might as well just upgrade and get a new receiver.

    I've got an AV pack I got at Target, and although it only has one set of video/audio connectors for the TV or receiver, it has a connector for xbox, gamecube, and PS2. I would be interested to see if they have the same type of thing for component video.

    Well, I don't have my receiver yet and my TV only has 2 inputs but I'm going to be getting my receiver next month (COME ON TAX RETURNS! LOVE ME!!!) so I'll be set then. As for a new receiver for you, I haven't found any electronics other than seperate switchers that have 4 in, 1 out...have you??

    toxis,
    I might have missed it in another thread, but what receiver are you looking at getting?

    Tschüss

    i've read good things about this

    four in, one out. also does digital optical and analog audio switching. auto sensing/switching.

    can be bought here for $149

    cheaper than a receiver and as you said, mainstream receivers seem to be at only 3 inputs now.

    So, if the PS2 outputs 480p through the component outs, do you need to have a TV capable of that signal then?

    yes. You have to have a progressive scan capable TV to do any format of progressive.

    The Audio Authority is a great switcher. I highly recommend it.

    The PS2 only has a handful of games that are in 480p, unfortunately. Although games do look better via component.

    Gamecube has way more 480p games, and almost all of the Xbox games are 480p.
