AV Vs. Component Cables

I'm planning on picking up a cable today so I can play God of War and other games off my TV and I was wondering on somethings.

I read that AV Cables can only output Videos and Music, not games, is that true?

Also what are the differences between AV and Component?

Thanks!

I assume that you are talking about RCA jacks. The only thing different from component and RCA is the way they send the signal, component obviously sends each component seperately, RGBYC. RCA just throws them all together.

If you have a slim PSP then you can throw whatever you want on the tv just as long as you use the right lead. PSP fat wont let you put it on the tv

To play on your television you need the Component Cables and a T.V. that has Progressive Scan.king_of_metal

How do I know if my TV has Porgressive Scan? I can support a PS3 and Wii if that helps =/

Is it HD? If it is, then it does for sure. How do you have your PS3 hooked up to the TV?

I hooked up my PS3 using the regular cables that came with it on my SD TV. I run at 480p I believe~

The "regular cables", are composite cables (yellow/white/red), and only do 480i.

If that's the only input your tv has, then you can't play games on your tv. Your tv needs to have a component input (five cables: green/blue/red/white/red) and be able to accept a progressive scan signal. So it needs to be 480p or higher.
