According to the Sony Site:
Screen Resolution:
Variable from 256 x 224 to 1280 x 1024

I think this shows there is a HD capability. I do not know if there are any games that take advantage of the HD capability. I do know you will need the component cable option if and when you obtain a HD game. It does have the ability to change ouput to 16:9 without an HD title.

I think PS2 will be releasing an ADD-ON peripheral for their console to allow it to output 1080i and 720p signals to an HDTV monitor. It's called the PS3 and you set it on the shelf where the old console once occupied space. Next, take the PS2 hardware and drop kick it off the 3rd floor of your house. The add-on peripheral should be out around 2005 and cost around $399.
Hope this helps ...

THAT was funny.. yeah I agree Sony should have thought about that before they released the PS2 and from what I understand Nintendo will have an actually adapter for the Gamecube for HD but who knows if theyll actually release it..... ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY XBOX AND ITS HD ABILITIES WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TO BE THE MAN YOU GOTTA BEAT THE MAN. WHOOOO!!!
