...What can i do???
I have the early ps2 version (3000 or so). I tried devil may cry 3, need for speed carbon, and gran turismo 4. All three seem a bit worse (you can clearly see the pixels and some vertical lines. Do i need to configure something besides hooking up the cables??

I don't believe a play station 2 supports high definition television.

to use a HDTV resolution is not just plug in the cables. You also have to set up the video output in your PS2 (try Menu, settings, Video settings or whatever the path is to get there) and set up the input in your TV. Before this you have to check on your TV owner's manual how high your TV can be set up (1080i, 1080p, 720i, etc).

Your PS2 output will be the highest resolution your TV can handle. Remember this.

i did all this with my Xbox 360 and the image is fenomenal. PS2 and 3 have better video than xbox.

good luck.
