4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job but..., November 23, 2001

If you have an Xbox and a TV with an S-Video connection, you are really doing yourself a disservice if you use the standard Xbox composite video connection. This cable will replace the standard cable and give you a much improved picture.

So what's the "but"?

If you also plan at some point to hook the Xbox up to your stereo via a Dolby Digital toslink cable for some 5.1 sound, you will need to replace this cable with either Sony's Advanced AV pack or a Monster Gamelink 300X cable. This entry level cable does not have the hookup for Dolby Digital and neither does the Xbox. You need a cable that has the toslink port: either the AV Pack or the Gamelink.

So, good cable, good price but not if you want Dolby Digital!

2.0 out of 5 stars S-Video/AV Cable by InterAct Accessories, December 7, 2001

This review is from: XBOX S-VIDEO & AV 2-IN-1 CABLE (Video Game)

Overall this cable is decent for its intended purpose (S-VIDEO).
It is not on par in build quality as the OEM standard XBOX cable that came with the game. The cable that plugs into the back of the XBOX fits in too loose. It can accidentally be pulled out a little too easily than the original cables.
The cables actually had my XBOX graphics acting jittery on the television. I quickly switched to the original cables and everything was fine. (Maybe I had the S-Video and the RCA Video Cable plugged in at the same time)

For starters this is an economical way to go.

For 10.00 more I would stick with Microsoft's Advanced AV Pack allowing for future purchases using Dolby Digital components.

I rated this 2 stars because I am very demanding when it comes to fit finish and quality. The rear plug stability into the XBOX just turned me off:(

Just a couple days ago I was plugging my Xbox back into my TV. I noticed an S-Video input as well as Av inputs on the back. I purchased this cord and plugged everything and let me tell you it makes the picture a whole lot better. If you have S-Video inputs AND AV inputs on your TV, buy this right away! It smoothes things out, lets you see mush better, it's great!
