games for the ps2 are in black and white

actually, as long as your tv has a scart socket (any european tvs newer than ~10 years do), any rgb scart cable will work to get color, plus the picture quality will be improved greatly, compared to the standard AV cable. you can get rgb scart cables for psx/ps2 in any store that sells the system. I bought my current one from lik-sang when I ordered my origa, for 3 bucks, and it works great.
