And about the GCN component cable - I never had one but I tried a few progressive scan compatible GCN games on my Wii (hooked up with component). The difference was seriously noticable. Much better.
I've never been able to get my hands on a PS2 component cable, but I'm sure it'd be the same.

Thanks, I was hoping that the HDMI cable would be able to clean the signal up, as I suspected it was noise on the cable causing the noise on the screen.
I'm getting ready to get on Ebay to hunt for a PS2 component cable. I don't think I'll buy a GCN one, as I'm purchasing a Wii soon and it would be silly to do that with the Wii having backwards compatibility. Do all Wii games support progressive scan?
I also had a question about how the component cables worked. I understand we are talking about the R/G/B component video cables, right? What sort of cable would you use for audio, in this case?
Bube: Does this look like the right kind of cable if I were to be purchasing one for the PS2/PS3? They are extremely cheap on Ebay for some reason, all of them going for around $3.
