How to HDTV-ise our PS2s

If there’s one thing you could do to your beloved PlayStation2 to boost the gaming experience a notch higher, what would it be? I know, all of us wished we could move that digit one figure higher to get the ultimate hardware of this gaming generation – so near yet so far ‘ey? Well our radar back at the QJ observatory has scanned something that might give us the next best thing – an HDTV Game Upgrade for PS2.

What exactly this product from Xploder does, is allow PS2 games to be played in High Definition. With both next-gen consoles, Xbox360 and PS3, already boasting of High Definition formats, Xploder’s HDTV Game Player is set to give PS2 a nudge by giving it connectivity to your HDTV sets. So how can this enhance your standard game’s image quality? With these features:

– Select a HD 720p or 1080i setting to give a clearer, crisper picture quality for all PS2 games.
– Play games in Enhanced Definition (ED) TV 480p mode; a higher resolution for improved image quality.
– 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 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 thereÂ’s no need to reconfigure the settings every time you use your console. The supplied high-quality RGB component cable also connects the PS2 directly in your HDTV to ensure superior image quality.

We may not be able to boost our PS2s to three, but it may now be somewhere around 2½.
