Well, the PlayStation 2 component cable is proprietary as well, but it
won't work with the PlayStation Portable. The connector at the PSP end
of the cable is much smaller than the connector on a PS2 video cable.

I think what he's refering to is the scaling artifacts you get when
you take a 480i or 480p game and display it on a 720p display. Or how
pixelated it gets on a 1080p display. Note that the PSP's display is
effectively 272p so is going to look blocky on when blown up to the size
of any kind of TV.

Oh, and your TV will need to support progressive scan (480p) if you want
to play games.
