Does anyone use component cables with their PS3, and do they have problems playing Blu Rays. I know you cant upscail DVDs with the, but ive heard that they also downscail Blu Rays to 420p and the manual isnt a great help.

Does anyone have this problem when playing videos on the ps3 that even if you set the display to fullscreen it still cuts of bits of the imageeven though the manual says it doesnt. This is for videos, not DVDs and Blu Ray.

This is true. It all comes down to when you will be making the HD plunge. As I said, if it is years from now, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Take solace in the fact the DVD probably cost half what the Blu-Ray did though.rastan
Actually if you look at the costs of them now Blue Ray are only a little bit more expensive, the cost of DVDs has gone up abit in the past few to cope with the introduction of Blue Ray I think...

Unless you plan on doing so in the near future, don't bother. Why spend more on a disc and player now to use 5 years down the road when the media and player will likely be cheaper and better then?rastan
the near future was almost yesterday...

[QUOTE="lordfalsus"]

Never heard of component cables? ;)

Its the green, red, blue cables, you may see the port on the back of hd tvs. There basically the yellow cable split in 3, so you usuallly get 5 plus including the audio ones.

Ive realised now that as the PS3 can use youtube I can just play one of the many comparison videos straight to my SD tv and get a better comparison, rather than using my pc as the montiors now are just below HD quality anyways really.

I just had a look at that site, and the HD was downsampled. But ive realised that as most pc monitors now are usuallly jsut below HD quality then using them for this isn't that helpful. But, as the PS3 can use youtube I can just play one of the many comparison videos straight to my SD tv and get a better look.
