RGB cable is essential!

[NickSCFC]

I've had a PlayStation 2 for three years now but only got around to buying an RGB cable today. OH MY GOD! It's amazing! My games look so sharp, the way they are meant to be. Up untill now I was too ashamed to play games in 60Hz, now I can play them with pride. Why on Earth didn't Sony launch PlayStation 2 with an RGB cable!

So they can get more money of you when you buy a new cable......

My TV is so old it goes funny when I try to use 60hz

[NickSCFC]

Mine is a third party one which cost £5.

The reason your picture is fuzzy in 60Hz is because you're using the standard scart, just get an RGB cable!

[CloudANDTidus]

Thats the funny thing about it though.........
My TV is so old it dosn't even have a scart slot.......

(man........I really should get a new TV)

How much is a new RGB cable then i might get one are they just like a scart so is fits in the same place as a scart.

You can pick them up for a pretty low price, and they just go into exactly the same connector as your regular yellow, red and white wires.

[NickSCFC]

It actually is scart. The cable you get with PS3 is 3 connecters going into a scart head, but the scart head is just for people who don't have slots for the three connecters on their TV.

Alot of RGB cables that you can buy are actualy just called "Scart cable", but these actually are RGB.

That's what I was sort of trying to say, but not very well.

The only visual difference between the regular SCART and the RGB SCART is the colours. With the regular one (which comes with your PS2) there are Red, Yellow and White cables. With the RGB, you get Red, Green and Blue.

where can i get one of those i have been looking for awhile..not very good but i do look. plus 1 stupid question where does the RGB plug into i mean its red yellow and white does blue go in yellow? and green in white? :?:

[NickSCFC]

[Kiwi]

Red goes in Red, and then Blue and Green go into the others in that order. Or you could get one of the cables where you don't have to bother. Like the one above for instance.....

[gamingmonkey2004]

i like that no thought required with plugging in. and where could i get one?

[Kiwi]

Probably somewhere like GAME, DIxons, Currys, Argos, Comet.....

You get the idea.

[gamingmonkey2004]

i dunno any of those stores..maybe some i would know...in america

[Kiwi]

Ahh right, sorry.

Electronics Boutique?
Wal-Mart?

[gamingmonkey2004]

1. Router
2. 30' ethernet cable
3. HDD
4. new controller
5. RBG cable!

[Kiwi]

Yea I seem to have an endless list of things to get at the moment. The PS2 Network Adaptor is incompatible with my USB Modem, so I have to by a USB Router and an NI (Network Interface) Card.

Argh! :x

[gamingmonkey2004]

yea that sucks! and not to mention for me then membership fee for FFXI and other things that are tied to other things on the list and my friend in Canada (who recently moved there) wants me to get Battlefield: Veitnam so i have to get that too. im not rmebering everything tight now but this list is crazy and not to mention things for my soon to be truck and my truck

Actually you only need a Network Card... WinXP can share its connection because it have a proxy embedded ... just link your ps2 and your PC and go to Network Propierties and go to the last tab...

What Scart TVs you recommend us??

[Kiwi]

Yes, but I have a USB modem. The cable that comes with the Network Adapter doesn't go into my modem. There's a link on the PlayStation UK site that explains the problems with USB modems.
