Just wondering if you guys use component cables and play your PSP on the big screen. I'm thinking about doing that. It would feel pretty cool playing FF Tactics, Crisis Core, Jeanne D'Arc, or Resistance Retribution on a bigger screen.

Anyway, do you guys play it on your HDTV? Also, does it look good?

PSP games' resolution isn't high-definition. I bought the special cable but don't use it very much; the games I have don't look so great when blown up on the big screen.

I have the cable, I have the HDTV and NO, It looks too bad and small so it's not really enjoyable. It would be good if it could be Fullscreen but sony is kinda dumb or something

yes. its only 480p. its weird because on my tv, i can see XMB full screen. but when i start a game, its not on full screen anymore. its weird because when i watch video reviews of psp games here (like in resistance retribution) on gamespot, the game is on full screen on their tv. i wonder how they do it.

it sounds like it wouldn't look to great on a bigger screen.

It also defeats the purpose of the Playstation "Portable"

its portable coz you can play it on the go. connecting it to a tv is just a feature so when you're at home, and you wanna play on a bigger screen, you can connect your psp on yout tv. that's a pretty decent feature btw. and its cool to play God of War chains of olympus on tv, coz there are scenarios where the camera view is far away, and kratos looks so small and powerless. well, that changes a bit when connected to a tv.

I use them all the time. Looks fine to me, especially on the better looking games like Resistance, Logans Shadow, GOW etc.

Put them through a 40 inch Apex tv. Like having a portable PS2 you can take with you. Totally worth it..

No, not really worth it in my opinion 'cause most of the games kinda look ugly in a big display, games that look pretty cool on the handheld not hold up so well on the tele ..

Grphics look better on the psp... yes!but the cable is a good gadget, sometimes when your gang of friends are at your home. XD
