What our customer's say!

"Nice to have.", The cables are nice if you are watching movies and have a TV to connect your PSP to. They only work on the games if you have a progressive scan TV, but you can watch movies and listen to your music that you've got saved on your PSP. I don't use them that much, but when I do it's really nice.

"It's Good for Playing PSP Games on the TV (3.5)", The Good:

+Allows you to play your PSP games on your television
+Very easy to connect and set up

The Bad:

-Your television must support progressive scan or else it won't work
-For some games it brings out the worst in graphics
-The cord is too short
-Twenty dollars is a bit expensive

During the days when the Super Nintendo ruled the world, Nintendo developed what was known as The Super Gameboy. It was where you stuck your gameboy games into a specially made cartridge and they played on your Super Nintendo. The Gamecube also had a variant. The Gameboy Player. These things worked really well to play handheld games on a television. Sony, taking a lesson from Nintendo, decided to do their own. The cable does exactly what it's supposed to but there are a couple of things that just make it a hassle to deal with.

It's easy to work. At the bottom of your PSP is the port, and then you plug the cables into your television. These cables do not work a standard definition television, however. It must be an HDTV and it must support Progressive Scan or else you won't get a picture. When you plug the cables in and connect it to your PSP and you get a picture, it's actually quite crisp. In some games, however, it'll bring out the worst in the graphics. Some games just weren't meant to be on the big screen. Some games you can see more jagged edges that you otherwise wouldn't see on the PSP's small screen.

One big problem, however, is that the game doesn't take up the whole screen. It's basically just a rectangle in the center of the television. It works out, but the menu itself will actually take up the entire screen. It's a little strange, but games play very well. And the PSP acts as your controller. However, this can be a little bothersome to some people.

If you ever suddenly need to take it off the TV you can disconnect from your PSP in the middle of play with no harm done to your television or your PSP.

There is one other major problem with this device. The fact that the cord is incredibly short. It's bad enough it doesn't work on a standard definition TV and that it shows the worst in some graphics and that it doesn't take up the whole screen, but the short cord may be one of the bigger problems. In some cases, you'll be a little unreasonably close, especially if your plugins are on the back of your television. A longer cord would've been nice.

Perhaps one of my bigger complaints is that the list price is simply unreasonable. Twenty dollars is a lot to spend on just a cord. Luckily, there are some sellers who are selling it for much cheaper.

Overall, it does what it's supposed to do, but there's a bit of a cost to getting it there. If you feel like playing your PSP games on your television, then it isn't bad at all.

"It's good, but don't expect a PS2...", OK, you've got the cable, but don't think you have a PS2 now. It gives you a good image, but create borders in most of the games I've tried.

Worths the money, but I still prefer playing on its own screen...

Cheers,

Ricardo

"Good for TV output of the PSP", OK yeah, when you play games on the PSP and look at it on the TV its a smaller picture. I have a 32" LCD and I loose about 6" a side in viewing real estate ... but its still about 12x bigger than the PSP screen itself and let me tell you its worth it. You can actually see what you're doing, and when I'm playing God of War: Chains of Olympus I want to see what is going on. Video and pictures don't loose that kind of viewing real estate. I noticed about an inch around viewing a video UMD and I suspect the same to be true for pictures although I currently don't have any jpeg files on my Memory Sticks to look at. I would say all in all its well worth the price ... currently under $20.00 and it will increase your gaming / viewing pleasure of the PSP. My one complaint and the reason for 3 stars instead of 4 stars (which for me is a good review, I rarely give 5 stars) and this is my caveat emptor for this product as well. The videogame output will only work on these cables if you have a progressive scan TV, even without progressive scan you can still watch videos and view images, but to get game video on the TV from the PSP you need progressive scan on your TV and this is not clearly advertised ... this is all it says on Amazon about half way down the page:

Product Description
Used to connect to TV Component-port for Progressive-Scan video display.

This is inaccurate as you only need PS to play games, not videos or images.
If you have progressive scan and you don't mind your game video being smaller than your total TV viewing area (its still a lot bigger than PSP screen) or you have video UMDs that you want to watch on the big screen, then these are the cables you want.

"Works with Remote Play", I think one of the best features is that it works with remote play. Sounds pointless to some people...but i have my PS3 set-up in my bedroom and large speakers in my living room. So i use my psp hooked into my TV and stream my Music through remote play to my TV and Stereo in my Living room. Very neat.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"not worth it", Although the component cable is easy to use and setup, I'd say that its not worth the money. First of all, the viewable size is only about half of the TV, so I have to set my TV on zoom mode for the PSP to play on a decent size (and even with the zoom, it only uses about 3/4 of the TV). Also, the quality of game-play is severely degraded when displayed on the TV. I'd say the games look like something from a nintendo-64, or even worse... I just couldnt believe it. When switching back to the PSP handheld screen, I was relieved at how much better everything looked! The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because I played a UMD movie using the A/V cable, and the quality was actually pretty good. It played full screen on the TV, no problems. Unless you plan on using this to turn your PSP into a movie player, I'd say stay away from it. Play your games on the actual PSP handheld system instead.

"Whats the difference?", You may be looking at the component cable and wonder which should I get?
Component: Offers the ability to play games on a progressive scan TV (480p, ect.), music, photos, and videos. Overall "better" quality.
D-Terminal: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "better" quality. Rarely used in the USA. (Do not confuse with VGA ports.)(Not sold in the United states.)
S-Video: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "good" quality. (Not sold in the Unite States.)
Composite: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "okay" quality.
On another note, the PSP's native resolution is 480x272, and when you place that on a 720x480 or higher resolution TV, it will never look as sharp. These cables are nice for taking a PSP to someone's house and showing them videos or photos on their TV, or your TV. The ability to play games is good, although sitting far away playing on a large TV will not work well.

"Well worth buying", This is a great accesory to buy. I joke with my 3 year old that it a magic cable. The quality of movies is very good on my 55inch plasma eventhough the size is only around 300mb per hour. The game feature is the real reason for buying this. Yes it only takes up half the screen but it my tv is is big enough. If you have a small tv it probably will not be so good for games.

"Can work well!!!", The Cable can work well in my Sony 32inch LCD TV which only has about 430p


"Sony Component Cables work Great", The cables work great. They will allow you to view videos, pictures, browse the internet,and play psp games at their native resolution. You can only play PSP games in progressive mode which is the only letdown but besides that, its a great product.

For those who may want to use these in composite oulets. You will receive a black and white picture. Like most other component cables, using the green cable usually acts like the yellow video output. In this case they don't allow you to view color.
