    I hope nintendo's EDTV cables don't get the piss-poor distribution they got last time around.

    You know it cracks me up but nintendo were the first to really push the concept of games displayed in hd resoloution, even though it was 480p. Still i find it odd they didn't bother putting the cables in stores.

    I think not. Dreamcast was VGA compatible plus supported on over 80% of released games.

    Well the vga adaptor was ment for monitors, this was before hd tvs became sorta of a comon thing in the market. But yeah the vga adapter was defiently overlooked by most. I can say though games did look amazing on a monitor. I love getting my old monitor out to play ikaruga the way the it was ment to be played. Rez is also a sight to be hod on vga as well.

    VGA or component, both are almost identical, and will to fine! I m disappointed in the number of games that did not support 480p on the gamecube and I was hoping nintendo would set some standards regarding the 480p. I m sick of S-video and composite, and my eyes don't seem to mind the extra clarity either.

    But wait a second. Nintendo's new connector is a propriety Audio and Video connector, sort of like HDMI? It would be funny if they indeed did release and HDMI cable, just to trick people into thinking its HD:p I ll settle for a VGA box over RGBcomponent any day though, so they better offer a native VGA solution. That goes for sony too.

    Another mistake from Sony again in my opinion. This time it'll cost market shares.

    I won't get a PS3 on the start. It's delayed in the EU during march 2007, it's damn to expensive and i doubt the hardware will be any better than Xbox360. Not even a game or HDMI cable in the 599.- Euro bundle - no way i pay that much!
