A new way to add RGB to PS2?

Xploder HDTV PS2 Upgrade

Available for both PAL and NTSC PS2 consoles, the Xploder HDTV Player allows you to:
â€¢Select a HD 720p or 1080i setting to give a clearer, crisper picture quality for all PS2 games.
â€¢Play games in Enhanced Definition (ED) TV 480p mode; a higher resolution for improved image quality.
â€¢Choose from a variety of superior VGA options.
Driven by proprietary Xploder software, you simply put the disc in the PS2 console and use the simple on-screen interface to select the optimum configuration for your system (HD, ED or VGA modes) from the options menu. The details are automatically saved to your memory card, so there's no need to reconfigure the settings every time you use your console.

The HDTV Player also includes RGB component cables. This is a pretty interesting device and could be useful for those who want somewhat HD gaming and movies and don't want to take out a second mortgage to buy new stuff. No word on release date or price.

Excellent. I wonder what it looks like. I hope it's tiny.

Well, aparently it's as tiny as digital information can get, the settings are saved to a memory card, and you never have to use the DVD again.

The word "add-on" makes me think it'll be an actual device. And it says...

"Driven", makes me think a device itself is driven by the software mentioned. But perhaps not. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

If you're correct on the other hand, I can't see how this bit of information that is stored on the memory card could possibly fix the green tint problem.

sounds like crap to me

This seems to be a product for Americans, hence the RGB is actually Component

Now the other thing is the driving disk, its exactly that a disk that drives the unit

or is it possible a Modchip substitute?
If so then it ain't crap, but who knows ntil someone pick it up and breaks it open
