can't wake up
From what I understand, it's part of the deal for Blu-Ray devices. No BR player released after 12/10 can run HD over component. Since Sony is moving to a new PS3 model, that's how it goes.

No players will have component starting in 2014.
Also this only effects movies and not games. SONY clarified.
Yesterday, we reported on a document, sent to Gamestop locations and obtained by Kotaku, that indicated Sony was disabling high-definition content via component cables. In discussing the latest PS3 model, the memo stated, "The 'K' systems will come with an AV cable, however, if you want to play a game or watch a movie in high definition you must use an HDMI cable," before going on to instruct employees to sell HDMI cables alongside the new systems. We've contacted Sony, which told us the report is 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 Advanced Access Content System is a standard for DRM, and states that full high-definition video resolutions are limited to HDMI and DVI cables, which support HDCP. Starting in 2014, new Blu-ray players won't be able to include component ports at all in order to be in compliance with AACS standards. It's likely the author of Gamestop's document was simply confused about what the new systems will require.
This will still be an annoyance for consumers with older high-definition televisions or those of us who use the component cables because we don't have enough HDMI connections for all the devices we want to plug in to our display, but at least your games and streaming content are safe.
Hostages? **** em'
... compliance with AACS standards

Yep because closing the "analog hole" will keep people from being able to pirate blu-rays.
As long as you keep your head in the sand and don't realize you can do a pristine digital rip of any BR on the market directly off the disk.

Shh.
So much ****ing semen.
Is BttF Episode 5 out on the PSN yet? When you buy the bundle it says 1-5 but my download and install queue only says 1-4 plus the unlock download. I found several release dates on the net that have already passed. Was this delayed because of the outage?

Just did a survey for SONY that seemed focused on Play Memories. You know, that app for the PS3 that's pretty much the same as the default photo viewer? Seems geared towards a revamp of the app with more features including video playback and 3-d photos.

I'll close your analog hole.
