Hi-Fi Gran Turismo PS2

Post by 2_lowiq_clone »

Well, I was looking through the options in Gran Turismo 4, and I found an option to turn the video into 16:9. I thought, huh, and I tried it, but the game said that I needed component cables. So we went to the local Circut City and picked up some, and hooked them up to the back of our HDTV, and HOLY CRAP!!!! :shock: The game looks 30 million times better than it did on regular OEM cords. I also noticed on the back of the package that it was compatible with the xbox, and that the xbox has more hi-def games than the PS2 (which, only has one, which is GT4) So most people may already know about this, but I promise that these component cables make a world of difference. If anyone else has done this, or has done this for the xbox, chime in!

Bah. I've played Forza, and I have to admit that the game is awesome, but I've only got the PS2, and will only get te 360 when Halo 3 comes out.

@Dohnutt-If the Wii uses the same connector as the PS2 and Xbox, then, yeah, it should work:if they make any 1080 games for it.

Sorry for all the questions, but where can I find this info? I googled "PS2 Specs" and "Wii Specs", and found both, but I have no idea what "spec" I'm looking for :wink:

Well, you might have to wait for pices of the connectors to be 100% sure, but I doubt that they would vary the connectors from the GC to the Wii.

Off-Topic: yay, 200th post!! :)
