A DVI and/or HDMI to Component adapter/converter.

Does it exist? I have found some very exspensive little boxes that appear to possibly do the trick, but I'm not sure. I'm asking because I have a Sony Wega XBR, and it uses component inputs compatible up to 1080i, but all the new devices coming out now seem to only have DVI and/or HDMI.

I realize that whatever the device is, it is essentially decoding the digital data and the output will be analog component.

I love gaming, and the specs have been released on the PS3, and it is equipped with 1 A/V out, and 2 HDMI outs. And all the games will be 720 or 1080 by design. Considering I jumped on the HighDef wagon 4 years ago and paid out the nose for a TV that still has a fabulous picture, I'm going to wring what I can out of this thing.
