Just called Game Crazy and the guy on the phone said PS3 Slim doesn't do component, only composite and HDMI. Huh? Is this true?

ted, even if the composite signal is 480 i ( pal 576i ) and the component is up to 1080p, the output in the back of the ps3 is the same for both. If you look in your dvd or blu ray, you will notice the 3 color outputs for the component cable.

Sony does not have that 3 outputs, they use the same output from composite, to make people buy the oficial component cable. This output supports up to 1080p, but is you connect the composite cable sold with the console, the signal is "downgraded" to 480/ 576 i.

This also happened with the PS2, where the output for composite and component was the same. Actually the oficial ps3 component cable is the SAME of the PS2.
