Fine cable!
Fine cable! excellent finish gold plated, shielded cable. Much higher than the original that comes with the playstation 3


Buyer Beware! NOT THE SAME AS THE OLD AV CABLE!
Ok, i saw this on amazon a day or two ago, and it looked interesting. I needed a new AV cable for my PS3 anyway, being as it's almost 4 years old. so i order it, .99 one-day shipping (Amazing). So I get it, open it, and i think to myself, "Goddamn it Sony, Damn it..." The wires are only split about 4 inches down, then it all merges into one cable... now this is a bad thing for me because i have a stereo, and i need the left and right audio wire to be at least 3 feet long, but since it's all basically one wire, i need to go to RadioShack and get some RCA couplers and more wires. If you have a stereo as well, do not do the same thing as me! make sure you buy couplers and wires with to hook up everything with first (Providing you don't have those items already). It's still a nice cable, and i intend to use it, but i wish sony would make it known to their loyal customers of what their product is.


Great Sony OEM Cable, awesome price!
This came next day using Amazon Prime, in OEM packaging. Good cable for my son's PS2 (even though it also states PS3, which I would only use HDMI cables for since it has blu-ray!). Old cable was giving spotty pictures and screen was color changing off and on. Replaced with this cable and all was good!


It works!
Build quality is great and it gets the job done. It did exactly what I needed it to do.


Well, what can I say?
You're buying a first-party cable here, so expect to retain that cherished first-party feeling Sony puts into all their products. I bought this cable to hook up to my postage-stamped size TV and everything worked accordingly. The aluminum finish on the cable connectors are a beautiful touch and really make my TV look amazing. My only gripe about using AV with a PS3 is that you're going to get what you paid for. The PS3's interface wasn't designed to be on a 19" SD TV - actually any SD TV - and those little 12pt lines of text that look gorgeous in 1080p are going to be microscopic to the point of squinting on most SD TV. It's a crime to use such an incredible machine on such a terrible piece of technology, so if you're purchasing this cable for daily use you should really think twice about what you're using your PS3 for.

Customer Reviews


doesn't last
It worked for a short period of time, then started ghosting and making double images or making the screen go totally green, its deffinately not my monitor because i bought a brand new HDTV and plugged it into the VGA port and it did the same thing, it did work well for the month that it did work lol now i'm using HDMI so forget VGA lol


Plug and Play
Works excellent. Juts take out of the box and your ready to play. Very affortable price.


These cables give a "ghost" image on the screen and are JUNK.
I purchased these cables (shipped from Vista Gaming Products) to use my Xbox360 with my Dell 24" 2405FPW Monitor. I was using some component cables before and the picture quality was good at 720p but I wanted to see what it looked like with the VGA cables.

Immediately the picture was softer looking and sort of blurry with a ghost image. I went through and tried all the different display settings in the 360 menus and on the monitor and the picture stayed the same way, a ghost image off to the right and a softer looking picture. I tried wiggling the connector ends to see if I could get it better on both the monitor side and the 360 side but had no luck.

These are just thin, cheaply made cables unlike the other better quality cables. I suggest spending a few more dollars on some better cables so you aren't throwing your money away like I did.


xbox Cable
its not a game its a game wire but whateveer it saved me from havin to buy a brand new tv no i can play xbox on my computer screen which is sweet. oh and the price AMAZING microsoft wants for their's


What I expected, but one thing I didnt...
This cable looks solid, for the price, really *cant* complain. I was not looking for "professional" quality, because honestly, when you are hooking up to a 15-18" non-widescreen CRT monitor, are you really going to be able to tell the difference from this cable and a MS/Monster/other "superior" cable? Chances are: no.

Pros: Price [very cheap], gets the job done and has RCA audio connectors [I already have a RCA -> mini stereo jack adapter for headset/speakers], and all in all looks durable construction wise.

Cons: I wondered if it came with a FEMALE to FEMALE gender changer for the VGA 15 pin connector [because several other products come with one], which I came to find was not included. Not so much an issue since it is not claimed to come with one in the description, but would be helpful to know in advance.

All in all, if you *ARE NOT* trying to get quality that impresses video engineers, get this cable! It gets the job done and is *CHEAP*! Win-win IMO.
I'm not an expert, but if your tv/graphics card/etc supports HDMI cables, opt for that, because it is HD and audio all in one. But if you need a simple solution to hook up your Xbox 360 to your second monitor next to your normal PC monitor so you don't have to walk to the next room to play some GTA4/Dead Rising/Burnout Paradise on a normal television where the text is illegible due to the resolution, GET THIS! You will be glad you did! :)

Worth the money! Ships very quick! Mine shipped the next day after ordering [ordered on a Sunday around 3pm] and arrived within 4 days of shipping standard! Very impressed! Keep up the great work Amazon and suppliers!!

Simply terrible
If you have some sort of vendetta against your eyes and a complete lack of appreciation even the lowest bar for image quality, you have located the perfect product. If you actually intend to use your Xbox360 for anything other than excruciating self-torture stay away! The image produced by this cable is blurry, full of ghosting and washed out.


Great for LAN parties, computer monitors (and the price)
I have a 19" acer middle-of-the-pack widescreen I use for LAN parties. I almost didn't get this cable because the negative reviews. I've been using it a month, and have not seen anything glaringly horrible. MW2 looks just fine using it. BUT, I have NOT tried this on a larger TV. So perhaps that is where the negative reviews are coming from.


X-Box360 Video Cable - Needs F-F VGA Adapter
The XBox360 video/audio adapter cable worked great once we purchased the appropriate adapters from Radio Shack and a local computer store. The VGA cable has male contacts (which you can't see in the images). This is great if you have a monitor with a VGA socket connector, such as many LCD displays have. However, most CRTs have only a male-ended cable, which means you'll need a female-to-female VGA (miniDSUB-15) adapter to connect it (like this: [...]which should cost about . If you want to plug in to your computer or use a PC sound system, you'll also need an adapter to get from the the two RCA male plugs to a stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) plug or jack. These might run you [...]The adapter also has an S/PDIF optical audio output (aka. TOSLINK or EIAJ), but we did not check to see if it works.


Terrible Cable - Get the Real Deal Instead
Like others have said, this cable is awful. There is MAJOR ghosting and poor picture quality. Yeah, the "official" cable is twice as much, but why bother at all if you're not going to try to get a descent picture? The real cable works.


xbox computer monitor cable
the product is not actually the one in the picture, it is green and white and is actually an off brand... i was slightly dissapointed, but it works fine so i am satisfied.

    This is a cable, not a game. If you want s-video, this delivers.
    HEY AMAZON!! This is a freakin' piece of hardware, not a game. Buy a clue man.

    Anyway, it was a little difficult to figure out if there really was an S-video cable for the x-Box 360. The Microsoft site tells you how to install one, but they don't offer one for sale, that I could find anyway.

    That being said, this cable works just fine. All of my audio/video stuff goes through my AV tuner/amp. In order to use only one television input, and control everything remotely, all output from the tuner must be s-video. This works. It satisfies the need, and is slightly better video than the composite feed into a secondary TV input that I had been using before.

    I was happy with the price. I wish Game Stop had offered the cable when I bought the x-box unit, but that's neither here nor there.

    Decent product, decent price.

    This is a buy recommendation if what you need is s-video output from the x-box.


    Exactly what I wanted
    When I originally ordered the product it took longer than I had liked to arrive. When I confronted the Wunderli Family store they were very kind, and took care of the matter with the utmost intensity. This is a great company to do business with.


    This really added some new definition to our games
    I had gotten originally one of those boxes that turned the RCA cords into a coaxial cable, so that it could easily connect to our television.

    My son did not like the color or the definition of some of his games, using the converter box. We pulled the big screen away from the wall, and found that we still had 2 S-Video inputs that were not being used.

    So, found it here on Amazon, and got it fast.

    Put it all together, and now you should see the colors, the details that our XBox 360 games have!!!!

    Please, connect your game systems to the television. DO NOT USE A CONVERTER BOX!!!


    Xbox 360 S Video Av Cable
    This is a great product for those who don't have a Hdtv such as myself. It contains the normal composite cables plus a s video, which is better then then composite. Great, simple and reliable product.


    great transaction
    product came exactly as described and works excellent. Although for some reason this review is for a game.

    Turned out to be great
    I had my doubts but decided to purchase this product for the price and it turned out great. Makes images on the TV perfect.


    DO NOT GET!!
    DO NOT GET THESE CABLES UNLESS YOU WANT TO FLUSH RIGHT DOWN THE POOPER! Seriously, I bought these and they didn't work at all. They plugged in and stuff but it ruined the picture by taking away the colors. HORRIBLE. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Ghosting and color glitches
    I purchased this cable because the hdtv/tv selector switch on my original cable failed. I had to tear the old cable apart and rig the selector switch. Once i did that the original cable worked perfectly, but i figured i should get a new one on the way.

    I ordered this type instead if the microsoft cable because it was cheaper and looks like a better cable. This is one of those times that looks can be decieving.

    With this cable i get ghosting and color glitches that are not there with the microsoft cable.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ITEM. BUY THE MICROSOFT CABLE, IT WORKS, THIS ONE DOESN'T.


    Cheap Quality and only 6ft long
    I expected this cable would be the standard 9 ft length. That might not be a problem for some, but it is for me. Cheap quality construction just adds to my disappointment.


    Best Picture
    My son's xbox 360, had been working for a year with no problems, but last week the picture started to blink on and off, I notice if I moved the cable the picture would clear up. I figured the cable was bad so I thought I'd just buy another regular AV cable like the one that came with the system.

    But my sons TV is high definition so I thought why not try this HD cable because it is actually cheaper then the regular AV xbox 360 cable. I thought since it cost less the picture probably won't be as good.
    Was I WRONG!!

    The pictures is unbelievable, like in Lego Star Wars with the regular AV cable that came with it, the picture was good but the light saber was always a little blurry. With this new HD cable it is all Crystal Clear, the color is amazing and this cable COST LESS!!

    If you have a HD TV don't wait for your regular AV cable to go on your xbox 360 get this cable. And yes with the new HD cable the picture stopped blinking on/off.

    Great seller
    The cables came in great shape and they worked perfectly. Also the seller was quick to ship. Great buyer overall!!!!!


    Great add if you bought Xbox 360 S
    This product was great when I bought the Xbox 360 Pro. It produced clear 1080P pictures on my HD TV. I got the new Xbox 360 S and traded in everything from the Pro and I was happy to get my Xbox 360 S. Its good and all but the biggest upset of it was STANDARD AV cables! Are you serious we're in a world where all they sell was HD TVs and they give us a cable that was used a decade ago? I was hoping for a HDMI cable but one of these HD AV cables at the least. So I came here to get one of these handy cables. Delivery was fast got it in 3 days, and it was sealed in original wrap (not a retail box). Choked up some more cash for this but at about ten bucks its a great price compared to forty bucks retail.


    Good option if you cant afford HDMI cable.
    Definitely buy this if your 360 did not come with it (Like the majority of us). This component cable is excellent if the HDMI pricing is too high for your budget, but better buy it here since you can get them for around 5 dollars and something cents...WORTH IT! If you have upgraded to an HDTV screen, and still using the standard cable, you're really missing out. This cable is fantastic, it really makes the screen way better and easier to read the letters. This cable truly shows the 360's graphical capabilities. Good job Microsoft.


    blocks the hdmi port
    This is a good product, but a bit of caution to prospective buyers. If you want to use this purely for the toslink optical out port, it will block the HDMI port on your Xbox360 Elite (I'm not sure about other models). This was not mentioned in the sellers ad and would have helped steer me to the more useful and proper cable.

    However, if you find yourself in the same boat, simply snap the plastic cover away from the larger end. Just use a small screwdriver to get started, then a bit bigger one and it should pop right off. Then you can plug it in and still have room to plug in your HDMI cable.

    Why on earth Microsoft made one end of this ridiculously large is just maddening.


    Pro Cables Direct = Awesome
    So glad that I found them on amazon before giving in and purchasing another over priced Component Cable for my XBox 360. The cable from Pro Cables is basically the same product as Microsofts... just a small fraction of the price. I don't know how they can afford to do it, but it makes you wonder why gaming companies can over-price the hell out of everything. Overall, I give Pro Cables Direct a 11 out of 10 for price and quality.

    The component inputs on my monitor failed, so I began looking for a different way to hook my Xbox 360 up. A friend recommended a VGA adapter, so I found this one. It actually looks better than the component cables did. The only minor gripe I have is that the video seems to generate very faint artifacts, but as I said they are very faint, only really visible on entirely black screens, and even then only if you are looking for them. If you are playing your Xbox 360 on a monitor instead of a TV, I heartily recommend this.

    Note- the review system seems to believe this item is a game. I was asked to give a "fun" rating and an "overall" rating. As it is just a cable, I've rated it 1 star for fun, but my overall rating for the product is 5 stars.


    Perfect!
    These cables are excellent! Works great. Was able to hook my 360 up to my monitor in only a few seconds. Great picture quality on my 21 inch Dell LCD. No lines or flickering that you get with a lot of generic VGA cables. Microsoft brand is the way to go. Also supports a wide range of resolutions. Was able to get 1080p outta my monitor.

    Very enjoyable even just on casual, but if you want it's a challenge if you change the level. it's a great time spender

    product came within two days and in the condition promised. very happy with purchase. I bought this cable from the recommendation of a friend cause I bought a new flat screen to play call of duty and it just didnt seem like it was playing right. it kinda seemed like the tv was too fast for the game. I know that sounds weird but its hard to explain. after I hooked up this cable things seemed a lot better and my scores came back to what they were on the old tv. If you have this kind of trouble I highly recommend you try this cable.(if your tv has a pc hookup)


    All the Hookup you need...
    I recently moved back to the States from Canada and found myself without much in the way of home electronics. I had a laptop and an Xbox360, and a Bose sound dock, and that was about it. So I went TV shopping.

    What I found was a nice, 23" HP monitor for 0 less than the 21" LCD TV's. It had HDMI and VGA inputs. I bit the bullet and purchased the monitor. I'm glad I did. My laptop is a newer HP and supports HDMI out, so for television, I hook up the HDMI and browse to Hulu.

    My Xbox 360 is an older version, though, and does not have HDMI out, so I had to pick up this cable. The one thing I disliked was the price tag, but, as the old saying goes: you get what you pay for. Xbox360 aside, Microsoft is well known for building quality hardware, and this cable is no exception. It's sturdy! It did take a bit of work to get the monitor's resolution to take, but I figured this was an issue somewhere between the 360 and my monitor, not necessarily a problem with the cable.

    What's nice about the cable is that it provides the same optical out that the standard component cable has. Also, it includes an RCA to digital adapter, so was able to get stereo sound to the AUX port of my Sound dock, out of the box (though my sound dock sits on a different shelf so I had to get a few extra parts to bridge the gap).

    Image quality is going to depend on the monitor you're connecting to. Mine looks good. The only complaint I have is my monitor's blacks are too bright (they come out kinda grey), but this is the tradeoff, I suppose. I played for several years on a 32" LCD tv and at the end of the day, I'm happy playing Xbox on my 0 23" monitor.
