 Great cable but may not fit your XboxDec 01, 2008
By Nick
First, the quality of this cable really is superb. The contacts all look gold-plated and the construction is solid. There are only two problems which prevented this from getting 5 stars:
1) The shrink tubing that is supposed to keep the audio cables separated from the video cable was not heated and shrunk. This can be fixed if you have a heat gun but come on - pretty sad it was missed. This might have been an isolated incident, however.
2) More important: This cable is NOT designed to fit into a first-generation Xbox. I have two different Xboxes, one a first-release and the other a later version. The later revision model's AV port has a plastic top and a metal bar along the bottom and this cable fits and works fine. The earlier model's AV port is entirely plastic and this cable is a VERY tight fit. It took some (very careful) effort to plug it in, and once in it does not go all the way into the slot. However, if you manage to plug it in, it does work and the quality is fine. (Note I am not talking about the original Xbox versus the Xbox 360. I am talking about release versions of the original Xbox.)
Going from composite video (just the yellow cable) to this component cable really is a huge jump in quality. The image is sharper and there is none of that annoying dot-crawl so common with composite video. As should be obvious from the picture, the sound is NOT HD, but just the standard left/right audio. I've noticed no problems with noise or lines as other reviews have claimed to have.
Overall it's a great cable when considering the price. Just be careful if you have an older Xbox when plugging the cable in. You may have to wiggle it in and out several times before getting it in place.

 First skeptical, then pleased.Aug 12, 2010
By Joshua Lathrop
I am very pleased with the product I bought. I looked into this a week ago and saw that some people had one experience and others had another. Maybe it has something to do with which store your item comes from, but I don't know. I ordered the one from Classic Game Source for about $7. It was the one people are talking about that has both the regular composite (yellow) output as well as the hd component (r,b,g). It also has an optional optical hookup for a higher quality audio, although the regular (red and white) cables work great. I didn't have any lines in the picture or anything. On my 32" 720p tv it makes a huge difference. Now bear in mind that you have to go to the video settings on your xbox (found in the msdashboard) and change your settings to widescreen and enable each of the HD resolutions that your tv supports. And even then few of the games are up to 1080i, although there are a good number that are 720p and even the ones that are just standard STILL look a lot better through this cable. Not every game is made for widescreen so you'll have to switch your tv between 16:9 and 4:3 for whichever game your playing but even then the picture is still great. So maybe some of the other buyers just plugged it in and didn't realize you have to change your settings. I don't know about them, but I am very happy with mine.

Original Xbox Component Cables that work great!Nov 22, 2008
By Steven M. Millard
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!

gives you HD output, but has noiseJan 09, 2008
By Kyle
I found that this cord will show diagonal lines that move. They aren't extremely visible, but on a larger hdtv can be distracting especially if you are watching a movie.
the lines appear in 480p, 720p, and 1080i mode

 Great image on a HDTVMay 09, 2007
By H. Do
After buying a more expensive XBOX HDTV kit with horrible results, I was very relieve that this cheap cable produce an incredible image on a HDTV.
My other XBOX HDTV kit has 5.1 sound, but this cable does not. I don't use 5.1 sound, especially for games, to even notice.
This cable produces a great image in high defination. It is a huge improvement over the composite cable included with the XBOX.
