Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it impossible to get 1080p resolution from component cables? Don't you have to be connected via HDMI to get that resolution?

My TV will not do 1080p, so I can't test that theory first hand, but seems like I remember reading that somewhere. I mean, my LCD automatically adjusts to the output of the device currently accessing it. Like if I have my 360 set to 720p and my PS3 set to 1080i...then my TV automatically adjusts to each setting accordingly.

So maybe your TV is setting itself to 1080i because you are connected to it via the component cables. Just a thought.

OK, here goes! Here's hoping that I win the prize for the most...LOL.

That is it. I don't guess that is too bad considering the number of games that I have.

Well I know I need a router, but I am asking about a access point. Would I need that as well. This is what I am looking at

I have the same issue. When I am on Xbox live, no problems (and I have a great connection) It's the Playstation network. I hope Warhawk works great considering I have it preorderd. people complain about having to complain about xbox live, but it's worth it. That why the Ps3 network sucks (it's free) I wish they would charge it would get alot faster and a better connection rate. Plus you would get better dowloadable cotent. By the way, make sure you have no security password on and update your firmware. Make sure you do it correctly or your router will be worthless. Hopefully these issues will be adressed in the future. Remember, you get what you pay for.tbombrocks

I really don't think whether or not ya pay for it has anything to do with the speed. I think there are several things that might improve wireless speeds. Possible firmware updates for the router, maybe some software upgrades by Sony for the wireless adapter used by the PS3, or possibly tweaking their servers (if people hardwired to their routers experience the same slow speeds). Again, I have never tried mine wired, so I am not sure if this is just a wireless issue only.

And Dragon Warrior VII...took me over a 100 hours to finally get mad at the thing and quit...I may pick it back up again someday.

Kinda wish I had beaten Final Fantasy V on my own and not by downloading a game save. That is the only Final Fantasy game that i didn't beat on my own...well, except for Final Fantasy X-2 (currently playing) and Final Fantasy XII (will play after finishing X-2).
