Yeah its a shame they didn't put BC back into the slim. They would justify it with "costs" but its 10 year old tech, well 15 since Sony was messing around with PS2 hardware before the PS1 launch. The real reason we suffer is it would slow PS2 sales which are still mystifyingly good. I guess they figure they get to sell us two consoles instead of putting it into one package.
Component can go up to 1080i but that would be on an a Hi-Def set, he's asking about the picture quality on a CRT TV which is just a standard def set. Newer ones have component cable outlets in addition to the regular composite. This allows them to go up from 480i to 480p but its still standard def it cant go any higher.
Correct me if I'm wrong but S-Video even though its a bit crisper then composite is still 480i. Component even on a CRT should be 480p aka Progressive Scan. That jump up in image quality alone makes component worth it.
