Honestly, I think the survey is probably busted. It'd be nice were it true, I love Blu-Ray, but that stat is AWFULLY high. I'd be shocked if 87% of PS3 owners have it hooked up to an HDTV, let alone hooked up correctly to an HDTV (I see countless HDTVs hooked up to an HD source using, *ugh* component cables, downgrading it to 480i).

It's probably like those surveys showing something like 20% of Americans think they have an HDTV when they don't. Like my grandmother. She's paying for HD programming, and is absolutely convinced she has an HDTV, when in reality she has a crappy 480i CRT TV hooked up to an HD satellite box. 0_o


Don't you mean composite cables?

I certainly hope so. Component supports 1080p.

I also find the number a bit high. I can understand it going up a good amount, but not quite that much, but it's possible.

As of 2 years ago there was no standard for Component video to support 1080p. HDMI became popular and I don't believe any standard has been made to this day. While 1080p is physically possible over component, I believe the only standard for american TVs is via HDMI or ATSC over the air broadcast (which only currently supports 30fps)

So, Component only supports 480i/p, 576i/p 720p, and 1080i and you must use HDMI for 1080p.

Well, I was getting 1080p through component for my 360, I believe.
