Just found out PS3 will limit output resolution on bluray to 480i if you a component cable. ARGH! HDmI has built-in copyright protection so they don't want you cheating around it. Better to screw everyone than let a few crooks get away with something.
"When the PS3™ system (CECH-3000 series or later) is connected to a TV using a D-terminal cable, a component AV cable, or an multi AV cable (a Sony Corporation product), analogue high-definition output is restricted to comply with the copyright protection technology used by Blu-ray™ (AACS). BD video software (BD-ROM) and BDs recorded with copyright-protected video content (such as broadcast programs) are output at 480i."
