| I would just like to mention that while you list the Sony PSP-2000 (the "second gen" one) as compatible with the AV230 and AV920, this is only true in part.
The most expensive TV-out cables for the PSP allow connections through Composite and Component connections, and both your mentioned models can take input in Composite format. The PSP, on the other hand, will *only* launch games in TV-out mode if a device is connected to the Component cables. If only connected through Composite, an error message will spawn saying it needs to be connected via Component or D-Terminal cables for games to work.
To achieve TV output on the Slim model, Composite, S-Video, Component and D-Terminal cables are sold separately by Sony. Games are output as a progressive scan signal, which can only be carried by the component video and D-Terminal cables, and can only be displayed on a television which supports progressive scan.

In essence, the glasses "work" with PSP-2000 devices if connected with Composite cables, but only for playing music, displaying video and showing pictures. To play games, you will need to convert the Component signal to one that your models can interpret.
This boils down to needing a Component-to-VGA adapter for the VR920, or a Component-to-VGA *and* a VGA-to-Composite adapter for the AV230 and AV920 units. After having done some extensive research, there doesn't seem to be any Component-to-Composite adapters, so I could with some confidence say that both are needed.
While cheaper cables for the PSP-2000 are sold, with only Composite connections, they do not support games.
I believe that your list should mention that the PSP support is only partial, and that to get full support in games signal converters are needed.
While you likely don't want to link to external products, an example of a Component-to-VGA converter (which as mentioned would be required for the VR920 device) can be found here:

And lastly, two models of VGA-to-Composite converters (for AV230 and AV920 devices after having converted the signal to VGA with the above unit) can be found here:

| Furthermore, you may want to mark the XBOX 360 as only conditionally compatible with the VR920, if and only if you obtain a cable from the manufacturer to provide the necessary connection.
Which cables are provided vary with which 360 package you bought (Elite/Premium/Core/Arcade). None of which include a VGA cable, though, so the 360 is in essence *not* compatible with the VR920 out-of-the-box. However, since you flag the PSP-2000 as conditionally compatible with the AV230 and AV920, I would say that the 360 VGA connection deserves the same notation. |
