SCEA: No S-video cables for PSP Slim in North America - Image 1Website GameInformer is reporting that Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) has no plans of bringing S-video cables for the PSP Slim & lite in North America. The said cables are currently available in Japan as well as in other markets.

U.S. gamers, on the other hand, are limited to just the composite and component ones.

The said site mentioned that one representative from the company explained that the reason for this is that SCEA "wanted to streamline their selection, giving owners a choice between cables supporting composite and component inputs, which are now available on the majority of new televisions."

For those who want to import S-video cables from other markets, we look around the Internet and found that the current price for the official Sony S-video cable is at 2,200 Yen or roughly around US$ 18.95.

When what the ***** is the point?!

I'm so *****ing glad I didnt piss away 200 bucks for that worthless piece of *****...

No 1.50 kernel.. Made like a kid's toy in some happy meal and not even an S-video cord? What a piece of f*ckin' *****

95 percent of current homebrew doesn't even use the 1.5 kernel.

It's not worthless at all -- the buttons are more firm, the load times are much shorter (even when emulating isos).

And what the hell were you complaining about no S-Video cable for? A component cable was released for it in northy america and component cables provide significantly better quality than the S-Video cable, every emulator works on it.

You're complaints don't make much sense. Also, there's a program that turns all eboots into .iso files that allows a lot of 1.5 kernel games to run on it as well.

S-Video is not Component or Composite.

 » So what?

Who even cares about S-Video?
Composite and Component is more than enough to satisfy just about everybody here.

I dont even see the reason to play playstation PORTABLE games on a tv, but w/e.

But we are talking about a PORTABLE console here. And most people buying the PSP will either not buy any cables or be getting the component/composite, even if the s-video cableswe made readily available. HD is taking off fast enough that S-video is next to worthless. And the quality is only slightly better than composite anyway.

 » media is hungry for news

even nonsense news is being reported on numerous sites.
they practically lost their taste and crave for anything to report.
on todays market the lack of s-video cable is insignificant. just buy the regular composite cable if you only have standard TV or buy the component cable if you have TV that support component input. in psp slims (or even Wii) case the higher resolution lcd tv (720p-1080i-1080p) has disadvantage over native 480p TV which displays the psps slim video better.
