High Performance S-Video AV Hookup of XBOX to TVs and AV Receivers with Preferred Higher Performance S-Video Connections

The Most Future-Generation Video Game Console Requires Advanced Cable Technology
With its 250MHz GPU drawing 125 million polygons/second, a 733MHz Intel Processor and an audio processor that will support 256 stereo voices, 3D audio, and Dolby AC3 encoding, Xbox unleashes the most powerful gaming experiences ever in a mind-blowing fusion of fantasy and reality.

Monster S-Video Maximizes 3D Game Graphics and DVD Movie Picture
S-Video is the preferred high performance connection, because it sends the video signal in separate Chrominance (color) and Luminance (brightness) channels, for a picture that is richer in color, brighter and sharper. It also gets rid of "dot crawl", the annoying, flickering along object edges. Gamelink 300 X uses advanced technologies like nitrogen gas to ensure the best S-Video signal possible.

Monster's Advanced Audio Technology Delivers the Full Sonic Performance of Your Xbox
Your Xbox is state-of-the-art when it comes to audio quality. But its sonic performance is only as powerful as the cable used to connect it. GameLink features patented cable technologies that allow you to expand you Xbox's audio as your own sonic needs evolve. GameLink's digital audio output jack, which makes it easy for you to upgrade to Dolby Digital Surround Sound. LightWave 100 X (sold separately), Monster's highest performance fiber optic audio hookup, completes the upgrade to a pure digital audio connection.

Maximize Your Gaming and Movie Investment
You've already invested in the most killer video game system around. Why not play with the best picture and sound possible? With GameLink 300 X, you'll get all the power and performance your Xbox was designed to deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect cable for S-video, December 10, 2001

This cable is typical Monster. Perfect. But pricey as well.

One thing which is not obvious is its optical digital capability. Hidden in the end of the connector which connects to the xbox is an output for digital audio (That cable is not included by the way). But its nice to know that if I do end up buying a digital capable receiver I do not need to buy a new cable. Its performance has been wonderful. The 10 foot cable could be useful too.

I also purchased the comparable product by Microsoft, the Advanced A/V pack. I ended up returning it even though it is about half the price. The microsoft one is just plain junky and poorly designed. They divide up the connection into two stages. First the large connector leads out of the xbox and with a ~1.5 foot lead leads to a large ugly box. You then connect up all the cables to this box and to your TV. Its just a mess of cables at this point. I like simplicity and the Monster Cable has it. It fits me perfect. But pricey.

2.0 out of 5 stars not really worth the money, January 27, 2004

By 

Akhenatonio "Akhenatonio" (Poughkeepsie, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Xbox 300X SVideo A/V Cable (Electronics)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My Gosh What A Difference!, February 10, 2002

Well this is my first monster cable I have ever purchased in my life. I just got a 61" 4:3 Projection Screen Television and it had S-Video Hookup's in the back of it. I was like "Nah, forget it, I'll be happy with my stand alone stock video cables and just connected it for the day. Oh my gosh it was just horrible! I seriously needed new cables and was wondering just how different in quality a S-Video cable is going to make since this is my first console that I wanted to test out with a S-Video Cable. I was going to get the x-box S-Video Cable, but thank god for the cool reviews from people who let us know ahead of time. So I just pulled back by the "okay" reviews I was reading on the official x-box s-video cables and noticed that Monster Cable made S-Video cables so I was like I'll get these (at Best Buy) until I saw the Price!!! 40 Bucks for Cables!!!! I was like I'll hold off, come home, boot up the computer and check it out to see if it had any reviews. It had 5 stars and I read of course. I hoped in my car and drove to Best Buy and picked them up and deff. saved my receipt! Tried out the cables and I was in a sudden Awe... Wow!!! What a difference they made. Made most of the difference on Halo, DVD Moves, Project Gothem, and to be honest every other game I have for my x-box. Get these cables!! You will not be disappointed! I know they are very expensive (to me), but the s-video made a phenomenal difference on my TV. This is also my first reviewand just had to write something on these cables. Hope it helped.
