Ideally I would like component output so I can hook the PS2 up to it so the PD30 does seem to fit the bill in that respect.

Oh needless to say, Yes, there will be pics when i've got the room the way I want it

i have a PD30....amazing! TV

At the weekend I picked up Alien Resurrection and Parasite Eve 2 for the PS1 for £3 for the pair from a charity shop.

I've wanted to get my hands on Alien Resurrection for a while since I read an article in Edge about how it is actually a fairly competent FPS. They were not wrong.

Is Parasite Eve 2 worth anything? I have never played the series but I was vaguely aware the games had some value.

I remember parasite eve and I think its a uncommon game prob be about £8

Parasite Eve the original was never released in Europe iirc. Parasite Eve 2 was though.

I'm really struggling to source one so far

What consoles do you have hooked up to yours?

phatboy · 11 Jul 2013 at 12:21

Megadrive, snes, saturn, wii (on component), xbox, ps2, n64

Its a bigger fan of 60hz so if you run a 50hz console you can sometimes get a bit of picture shift. I am modding my md to sort it....

Hardly noticable tho and picture is superb! !

What's a pd30

phatboy · 11 Jul 2013 at 13:04

Panasonic CRT TV, the very last of the CRT's

. 32in can do 480p & has component in and mountains of scart

basically a retro gaming joy!

Ah right I use a 15 Sony Trinitron I paid a couple quid for but lately its been stored away until I sort a desk/ unit out

Finally my bust a groove has arrived from fleabay. I forgot how bad I was at the game, lol need to get my groove back... Thou I was never that good when I had it.

Does anyone know if the ps3 component cable will work for the ps1? as they all have the same multi av port and if so; is it worth it?
