1st time I've seen one of these, I know the Wii has one, anyone know anything about this?

Also, I had a good laugh under the item description

Cable. It should not be confused with the word Cabal. The latter means a group of sinister individuals with designs to take over the world. Cable on the other hand, well it's meant different things over time. At one point, if your mom comes into your room and says, "Eldridge, there's a cable for you," she meant there was a telegraphic message for you. Yeah this was in the days before the Internet, before the telephone. Think of a telegraphic message like text messaging like a hundred years ago. LOL. Cable also refers to cable television. What's more, cable also means wires. Usually wires with plastic or rubber coatings surrounding them to prevent discharge for the use of connecting two electrical devices. Like the fact that your keyboard has a cable that connects it to the back of your PC. Unless you're using a wireless keyboard of course. Anyway I digress. This here devices converts one type of cable to another to retain the signal passing through them. In this case, it's adapter a PS2 cable to HDMI. What's more, it functions at high definition capacity to retain visual excellence especially when you're using your PS2 as a Blu-ray disc player. Totally plug and play with amazing quality at a reasonable price. Buy two today.

it plugs into the back of your ps2 and lets you plug in an HDMI cable

got my day starting out with a good laugh :lol:
 
Cooler than I was expecting. I thought from the OP it was a plug that I would still need my component or svideo cable to use with. I use the same HDMI cable for my PS3, 360, and laptop and plan to use it for the Wii U. One of these and the Wii one would reduce cable clutter.

And before anyone asks, my Wii is modded so itll stay around even with a Wii U in the setup.
 
I take it the USB cable is to power the adapter. I wonder what will happen if I plug the USB cable into my PS2.

I've been thinking about the Wii to HDMI adapter is that thing worth it?

I would prefer to find a component to HDMI adapter that worked and was cheap. Kind of been wanting to hook up my PSP to my HDMI/VGA only monitor.

^I'd get that thing if worked with the PSP Go.

I don't know about the technical stuff, but wouldn't a Dual Shock 3 eliminate the input lag?

I'm kind of curious about the PS2 version that the original poster mentions.
 
I have one for those convertors (like the one detectiveconan16 posted) for the PSPgo. It cost quite a bit and requires an actual power source but works pretty well, and I didn't have any lag issues-- at least nothing that was noticeable. It upscales image to 720/1080p with minimal image issues (you can notice some noise if you sit closely). I honestly think it looks great, given the source resolution.

But these cheaper adapters are another story. They just stretch the image to fit your screen (which is what your TV does by itself) but sends a signal that says it's 720p/1080p. So you'll see the same image as you would if you didn't use it, the only difference being your TV will be fooled into thinking it's a real HD signal.
