User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars DVD player in your palm
I carry a lot of UMD and H.264 movies when i travel. Now every one can enjoy those movies when we crash in the hotels. Almost all the hotel TVs accept component input, which makes it great to watch all the movies in TV. You can also play your games while connected to the TV. It is not full 480p, but acceptable for hand held machines. Must have for any one who travels. You are not stuck with the boring infomercials in hotel stay. You can watch all your preferred shows and movies from your tiny PSP. Fantastic idea, hats off to Sony.

3 Stars Good for TV output of the PSP
OK yeah, when you play games on the PSP and look at it on the TV its a smaller picture. I have a 32″ LCD and I loose about 6″ a side in viewing real estate … but its still about 12x bigger than the PSP screen itself and let me tell you its worth it. You can actually see what you’re doing, and when I’m playing God of War: Chains of Olympus I want to see what is going on. Video and pictures don’t loose that kind of viewing real estate. I noticed about an inch around viewing a video UMD and I suspect the same to be true for pictures although I currently don’t have any jpeg files on my Memory Sticks to look at. I would say all in all its well worth the price … currently under $20.00 and it will increase your gaming / viewing pleasure of the PSP. My one complaint and the reason for 3 stars instead of 4 stars (which for me is a good review, I rarely give 5 stars) and this is my caveat emptor for this product as well. The videogame output will only work on these cables if you have a progressive scan TV, even without progressive scan you can still watch videos and view images, but to get game video on the TV from the PSP you need progressive scan on your TV and this is not clearly advertised … this is all it says on Amazon about half way down the page:

Product Description

Used to connect to TV Component-port for Progressive-Scan video display.

This is inaccurate as you only need PS to play games, not videos or images.

If you have progressive scan and you don’t mind your game video being smaller than your total TV viewing area (its still a lot bigger than PSP screen) or you have video UMDs that you want to watch on the big screen, then these are the cables you want.

5 Stars Nice to have.
The cables are nice if you are watching movies and have a TV to connect your PSP to. They only work on the games if you have a progressive scan TV, but you can watch movies and listen to your music that you’ve got saved on your PSP. I don’t use them that much, but when I do it’s really nice.

3 Stars It’s good, but don’t expect a PS2…
OK, you’ve got the cable, but don’t think you have a PS2 now. It gives you a good image, but create borders in most of the games I’ve tried.

Worths the money, but I still prefer playing on its own screen…

Cheers,

Ricardo

4 Stars It’s Good for Playing PSP Games on the TV (3.5)
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.
