New “K” system PlayStation 3 consoles (CECH-3000 series) will be able to play games in high definition over a component video connection, Sony has confirmed.
It was earlier reported that the new model PlayStation 3 would limit gaming and movie playback to standard definition when connecting to a display using component cables, but this turns out to be inaccurate.
“The new CECH-3000 series PS3 requires HDMI only for BD movie output in HD, in compliance with AACS standards,” Sony told Ars. “PS3 continues to support component output for HD gaming and streaming content.”
The AACS is a DRM standard which states that high definition video resolutions are available only via HDMI and DVI cables which support HDCP.
