What needs to be said? These are component cables for the xbox 1/ original xbox (not the xbox 360). They allow your system to be viewed accurately on an HDTV. They are cheap, and they work great! No complaints here!

Component cables for the orig Xbox system. Its not much u can say in a review about this. It helps connect the older system to newer TV's and receivers. If u got a TV that can do different picture n sound configurations for the different connections, this will be fine.

Last Christmas I got these for my Xbox since I got an HDTV, and these cables are amazing. The colors look SOOOOO much more rich then composite (which I upgraded from since my old TV only had RF and composite in), and everything is a lot sharper then before too. I saw a review that said there was lots of noise with these cables. That's not what I saw when I played my Xbox with these. To avoid noise, avoid lots of other cables when routing video/audio cables (composite, s-video, component, and mabey HDMI if theres lot of cables), and don't coil the cables too. That crates interference from the cable itself.

Also to those who don't like it not having optical out: suck it up, and deal. Get the Microsoft Xbox AV Pack Advanced (which I also own), and deal with s-video if you're whining so much. While S-Video only does 480i, it still kicks the crap out of composite. Besides, all decent receivers made today support Dolby Pro Logic II, so you get a kind of "fake" 5.1 surround sound from stereo (basically it tries to guess which sound goes out what speaker, and it does a pretty good job). Just remember to set it to "game mode" if you go the PL II route, or it won't work right with video games.

Bottom Line: If you get the component Xbox cables, you'll get awesome video with pretty good sound. If you get the Advanced AV pack, and you'll get pretty good video with awesome sound. Though I'm recommending you get both, since both are really cheap. That way you can customize what experience you want like I do.

This cable was a tremendous upgrade over the standard cable I had before, and was worth every penny of the purchase price. I couldn't be more pleased.

I needed this cable so that I could use a split screen function with my tv. The cable came quickly and works perfectly. Now I can watch sports and play video games simultaneously. Thanks for helping my dorkdom!
