I'm pretty dam sure this will work for video games on the ps3. The AV Multi out on the PS2 is the exact same on the PSX (original PlayStation) and the same as the PS3. I still use my scart cable from my PSX on the PS2.

If Sony somehow disable this cable it is f0cked up of Sony to do!

I can understand copy protection stuff through HDMI for HD movies but for GAMES?!

Lets hope they don't fvck it up.

Well, until we get to see a high resolution picture of the port, we'll never know.

DVI-D and the Component RCA's. I didn't know there so many... if one gets the job done why do you need so many?

isn't there another port on the back below the HDMI ports..I just assumed it would be used for a dongle like the current ps2 has.

BINGO.

Does any one know where that picture is of the Two HDTV screens with a race game displayed on it. Provide me a link please. Thanks!

Each has a limitation.

Component is analog so it is prone to distortion and interference. Modern televisions use Y/Pb/Pr component, which is much better than older s-video (Y/C component) or composite (Y/U/V multiplexed) signals, resulting in superior color seperation. However, its not perfect. It also lacks content control (copy protection), so its near perfect signal has worried media companies. It also compresses the colorstream using 4:2:2 in order to support longer cables than VGA-RGB (which uses 4:4:4). Since MPEG-2 uses either 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, its not that big of a deal.

DVI-D is digital, and supports RGB color. However, not all DVI-D cables have the bandwidth to support 1080i HDTV. You must use "dual link" DVI-D cables. It also lacks audio. However, it can offer content control in the form of HDCP.

HDMI is also digital, and it supports both RGB and Y/Cb/Cr colorscapes. HDCP is a requirement. It also includes digital audio and uses a smaller connection. Since its basically a modified dual-link DVI-D connector, it supports 1080i video.

You forgot to add that HDMI also carries 2 channel audio with it. For more than that (5.1) you will need to use the separate SPDIF optical connection.

Now is that digital audio (2-ch PCM 16bit/44KHz) or is it analog?

Having to use another cable for audio SRA in my opinion. Now that everything has gone digital, its not as if you need to worry much anymore about cross-talk between cables. If there is any, the error correction will take care of it.

Speaking of which, was there a SPDIF on the back of the PS3? I thought I saw one, but I wasn't sure.
