 Works well September 13, 2007

Picked this up today at the Meteron for $20 and it works nicely. Video is pretty good, not as good as a DVD but not bad. Games work well but are limited to the PSP's native resolution so they will be smaller if you have an HD TV. Also there seems to be a slight delay in controls as shown on the TV as playing Hot Shots Golf everytime I teed off, it seems to be a little late. So for the price, I'm satisfied.
 Don't buy for games, worth only for video October 25, 2007

Facts:
- You should know this before hand, only the video output will use your entire TV screen. The games will use only about 60-70% of the screen.
- Also, the games can be output only using this component cable (not the composite cable)
Pros:
- Video quality of CNN podcasts looked great on a 51" TV
- Connecting to the TV and transferring video output to the TV was very easy
- The video controls are rich but OK to use (nothing to do with cable though)
Cons:
- The video quality of the game was bad.
- Madden NFL 08 looked terrible, could hardly make out the plays or the text.
 Not Really Worth It September 26, 2007

To make this short and simple, you want this cable to play on a big widescreen TV, right? Does it let you do that? Yes and no. You can play games on a TV, but it will not let you play in full or widescreen mode. It forces you to automatically play on a small rectangular box in the middle of the screen. That blows big time. You might as well stick to the PSP screen. Now for UMD's... save your cash. The UMD's actually look way better on the PSP itself. They do not look as good as a DVD on a TV, so why would you want to watch something of lesser quality than a DVD on a TV when it looks way better on the PSP itself?
 It's Good for Playing PSP Games on the TV (3.5) May 1, 2008

The Good:
+Allows you to play your PSP games on your television
+Very easy to connect and set up
The Bad:
-Your television must support progressive scan or else it won't work
-For some games it brings out the worst in graphics
-The cord is too short
-Twenty dollars is a bit expensive
During the days when the Super Nintendo ruled the world, Nintendo developed what was known as The Super Gameboy. It was where you stuck your gameboy games into a specially made cartridge and they played on your Super Nintendo. The Gamecube also had a variant. The Gameboy Player. These things worked really well to play handheld games on a television. Sony, taking a lesson from Nintendo, decided to do their own. The cable does exactly what it's supposed to but there are a couple of things that just make it a hassle to deal with.
It's easy to work. At the bottom of your PSP is the port, and then you plug the cables into your television. These cables do not work a standard definition television, however. It must be an HDTV and it must support Progressive Scan or else you won't get a picture. When you plug the cables in and connect it to your PSP and you get a picture, it's actually quite crisp. In some games, however, it'll bring out the worst in the graphics. Some games just weren't meant to be on the big screen. Some games you can see more jagged edges that you otherwise wouldn't see on the PSP's small screen.
One big problem, however, is that the game doesn't take up the whole screen. It's basically just a rectangle in the center of the television. It works out, but the menu itself will actually take up the entire screen. It's a little strange, but games play very well. And the PSP acts as your controller. However, this can be a little bothersome to some people.
If you ever suddenly need to take it off the TV you can disconnect from your PSP in the middle of play with no harm done to your television or your PSP.
There is one other major problem with this device. The fact that the cord is incredibly short. It's bad enough it doesn't work on a standard definition TV and that it shows the worst in some graphics and that it doesn't take up the whole screen, but the short cord may be one of the bigger problems. In some cases, you'll be a little unreasonably close, especially if your plugins are on the back of your television. A longer cord would've been nice.
Perhaps one of my bigger complaints is that the list price is simply unreasonable. Twenty dollars is a lot to spend on just a cord. Luckily, there are some sellers who are selling it for much cheaper.
Overall, it does what it's supposed to do, but there's a bit of a cost to getting it there. If you feel like playing your PSP games on your television, then it isn't bad at all.
definitely.... recommended! September 15, 2007

This product is definitely to be recommended for all those who has the PSP Slim with Video Outout. Though the video is not as good as the DVDs that we used to love, it is very satisfying of the output of the UMD on a High-Def TV. Just consider the fects that the UMD is small and has a capacity of 1.8GB max compare to the DVD that has a 8.5GB max. Someone just quoted that I have to get this product in Downtown San Francisco in Sony Metreon, and I got it... both the Component Cable and Composite Cable. I tried it and tested it. When you plan to get this cable (Component Cable), you can view all you wanted to watch over the TV. Unlike the Composite Cable, you cannot play any games this that cable. If you are a hardcore PSP player and wanted to view the game over the tv, this is the cable I would recommend. If you are a movie fanatic (like me), I would recommend getting both cable (Component and Composite). Way the go, Sony Staff! Now I can watch all my UMDs both my regular TV and my HDTV! Keep up the good work!
