I was thinking of buying a PS2 as my PS3 is not backwards compatible and I sold my earlier PS2.

I have a 40" Full HD Sony Bravia.I wanted to know which cables would best suite the PS2 display on my screen.

Composite - I want to know whether it supports 480p native resolution and 576i upscaled resolution.

Component -In which areas is it better than Composite.Does this support 480p and 576i resolution.Also what is the difference between HD Component cable and HDMI cable?

HDMI - Can I use this with my PS2 to connect my TV even though PS2 cannot display HDMI?

Copy and Paste:

"The highest you can get is component video cable. Although it will still only be 480i at the most unless you have a game that supports highres like Gran Turismo 4. If you do havea component video cable and a HD TV then check out Xploder
. This will give you 720p or 1080i with any game. Unsure how well it works. I'm sure there's some review about it some where."

I've tried reading and finding out about that but even this website has no clue how it get's to HD quality. You need a special cable. And HDMI cable alone will not work and don't try to force in into the back of the console.
