Component cables for PS2
What can u say? Cables to connect an older gaming system to HD TV's and recievers. Like I said for the cables for the Xbox, If your TV can configure picture n sound for the different connections you will be fine.

Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr Does NOT Equal Y Pb Pr
Component video cables for the PS2 are supposed to be hooked up to TVs that have Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr connections. Many newer TVs (like the ones I have) have Y Pb Pr connections. They LOOK the same. The manuals say that they're for component video. But there is one crucial difference. The Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr PS2 video output doesn't work in a Y Pb Pr TV! They mention this in the fine print of the PS2 manual but, as I found to my sorrow, it's easy to overlook.

Before you buy this (or any other) component video cable to hook your PS2 up with your HDTV check the connections on the HDTV. If it's Y Pb Pr it probably won't work.

Just to be clear, I DID change the video output of the PS2 from RGB to Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr before connecting the cable to the TV. Did not work (on two different HDTVs that have Y Pb Pr connections)

The cable itself doesn't deserve a "1" rating. I'm almost sure that if you have a HDTV with Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr connections you'll love this cable. I just wish I could test it myself...

NIGHT AND DAY!
The cables are so good, that the games is almost equal in graphics to Xbox quality! I'm serious! If you have component inputs on your TV, you have to get these, no excuses!

Works as promised - better video
This cable lets you pipe higher quality video from your PS2 console to any TV with component-in capability (3 separate signals for 3 primary color components). Not only does the picture quality improve quite a bit, but it lets you turn on progressive scan which is not supported by the composite video (only one signal for the picture) which the standard, out-of-the-box PS2 cable comes with. Arrived quickly and works flawlessly.

Works FINE!!!
I bought this cable to use with my PlayStation 3 (because PS2 cables will work with a PS3) and it works just as well as the more expensive cables. I know some reviews have stated that they had some problems, but I did not experience any. Definitely pick these up and save a few bucks over the more expensive cables.
