PS3 blu-ray over component - Blu-ray Forum

I believe the manual mentions that component won't upconvert your regular DVDs but only HDMI cable will.

The upconversion of your DVD's is not possible through Component Video Cables, but your Blu's will be fine through Component. I just recently switched from Component to HDMI when I upgraded my Receiver. The difference in Component vs HDMI while watching DVD's is huge.

My Ps3 is hooked up with component and I have no complaint. Looks really good.

Hold on, I need a special component cable for the PS3?
Can I get one from Monoprice? Or is it only from Sony or Monster?

consoles have thier own hook up connection. the one on the ps3 is the same as the ps2. one end is the audio video cables you we all know and the other end is a special hook up on the console. the ps3 comes with compisite video cables but you can buy on with component video. there are other brands that sell them besides sony or monster (i have monster and use when i dont use surround). but i think that monster tends to be a little longer than others.

as far as hdmi, its the same on all components with hdmi. all youll need is a hdmi cable from anywhere

As you can see, unlike the MultiOut cable that comes with every PS3, the PS3 component cable has more RCA connectors out of it. You can get that from Monoprice at US$5.42. They also sell another component cable but for all three game consoles: PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.

Ah, thank you.
So I let the 2 RCA hang, right?
Since I don't have HDMI, I'll use optical.
