Average rating: Stars

S- Video first, games second.

THe first thing i do when i buy any console is get a Monster S video cable, then i get the games. The thing with monster is its the best, but it cost alot. When first released cables cost $50, but now its reasonable. I think Monster goes over the board with the development of this thing. Just read the product info. Basically if your TV gots svideo hook up, get these.

Faulty product

I bought the 300x cable two days ago. Since then I have been nothing but frustrated -- though my regular AV cable that came with the console still works perfectly, I get NOTHING from the Monster cable -- the ring on the Xbox just blinks green and orange, signifying a bad AV connection. No amount of fiddling has made a difference. On top of this, Monster's customer support was almost nonexistent. Xbox's support was helpful, but they confirmed what I suspected from the process of elimination. This cable is the problem. For the price I paid, you'd think I'd get a product that worked, and barring that, at least some service from the manufacturer! I'll never buy Monster again.

not really worth the money

Yes these are Monster cables. Yes Monster Cables are better quality than ordinary cables, but the difference between Svideo and Composite is not something to jump for joy about. The differences between Component and Composite is astronomical, and between Svideo is noticeable. If you get these cables, you won't really notice a significant difference in picture quality, (especially if your RCA cables are gold plated and top of the line). I have a Sony 27in Trinitron Television. Connecting my Xbox directly into the Svideo jack didn't do what I thought it would. I was looking for Computer like clarity, and didn't get it. Neither will you. If you ever purchase an HDTV with component inputs, the difference will be there. Until then, don't waste your money. It might be a good idea to get the Gamelink Optical adapter for Dobly 5.1 sound however. Oh, if you have component inputs on your television then buy the XGL400 not the XGL300.
