  In Reply to: X-Box, or PS2... Can they support 480p or 1020i via component posted by Elizabeth on January 23, 2002 at 05:43:55:

  I'm also in the market for a new video game system. Trouble is, my TV has only one set of component video inputs (CVIs). I don't want to be manually disconnecting and reconnecting my DVD player everytime I want to play games.

  Is there a such thing as a splitter for component video cables? I have only seen such a thing for S-video and composite video, but never for component...

  Any ideas? Also, I don't want to use the game machine as the primary DVD player, so tossing my current DVP is no option.

  Thanx!

    I just bought a switcher for that reason, I was looking at one from Bettercables.com it was 300 bucks, It has two component inputs and one component output, but I found a JVC video switcher on ebay that supports HD it has 4 component inputs 2 S-video inputs and 1 component output and 1 S-video output. I got it for 130.00 bucks. You should try and do a search on ebay for it.

  The X-Box will output 480p or 1020i through it's component outputs only on games that support this feature, DOA 3 and some football game were the only ones that did it at launch, I'm not sure what current games are programmed for it. PS2 I'm not so sure about, but I'm 90% sure that it doesn't do progressive or hi res interlace. The Gamecube (the only system I own) will output 480p through its component outputs for most games. And the Sega Dreamcast (Oh yeah I forgot I own that one too) with its VGA box and a VGA to component adapter will output 640 X 480.

  post scriptum. One would buy a PS2 for its incredible games rather than its resolution as it is the worst looking next gen system (including the older dreamcast)

  I hope I was a help

    Is there a website that tell which Xbox games are HI DEF?

      I dont think XBox has any games that are 1080i yet,but they are in the process of making them.
