Just went into 'Game' and they are selling their own Scart leads under 'Playstation2 accessories'.
The box claims that it dramatically improves picture quality over the supplied cable (not hard) but it does not detail what type of connection it is.
So the question is - Is it an RGB cable ? If so does it green-screen the DVDs (thanks a bunch Sony) ?
If not an RGB cable to get round the DVD problem, is it the long awaited 'S-video' cable ?
What other options are there ? The only other I know of is the composite supplied and opinions on that are well voiced...
Any ideas ?

It has both RGB & Composite connections. Plugged straight
into a TV, DVDs will look green. However, I've got a SCART switch box that disables the RGB signal just by hitting a button (got this from TANDY - it's a 3 into 1 SCART selector box, £15) and so I can watch films in composite video, and games with RGB without swapping cables. The picture quality improvement is incredible, even versus a PSOne RGB SCART lead that I've tried with my PS2. The sound is also greatly improved - it uses gold connectors. Get it - it's worh it.
