4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile and cheap, yets lacks 5.1 optical for XBOX, June 5, 2006

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Xbox Madcatz 6055 Component Video Cable (Video Game)

A huge oversight, probably done to reduce cost is the lack of Digital Optical out for the XBOX on these cables. Unlike the PS2 which has its own output for the Digital Optical Cable to support DTS and true Dolby Digital, the XBOX does not. The MS official HDAV pack provides that output and even a few 3rd party knock offs have it as well. Obviously a flaw in the console design of the XBOX 1, this is only exacerbated by the fact that the MS official HDAV pack is now a rare item that fetches huge prices on ebay for such a trivial function.

Now that the XBOX1 is being phased out I doubt Madcatz will release an update. Basically these are fine for PS2 consoles (I own 3 sets) but useless for the XBOX if you have a 5.1 surround system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not enough component jacks or money? Get this., October 14, 2005

I have a Sony HD TV and bought this cable for the unbelievable price of less than 10 dollars. And the video is splendid. I did side-by-side comparisons with it and the standard cable and the difference was terrific. I have a Gamecube with the Nintendo-made component cable, and I compare the video output of that to the Madcatz cable and there is no difference. This applies to both PS2 and Xbox, as the cable works with both. ONE COMPLAINT: You can't have both systems connected at the same time, or else the audio will not work when you play PS2 games. The Xbox is unaffected by this, but this means that whenever I want to play my PS2, I have to take the cable out of the Xbox. If this sounds like something you're unwilling to do, don't buy this cable. But since my TV only has holes for 2 sets of component cables, I find this to be MUCH easier than having an independent set of cables for each console and constantly removing them all when I decide I want to play Halo followed by Katamari Damacy. Bottom Line: best set of cables for the money. If you have a PS2 and an Xbox but not a lot of component jacks, this is for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for ps2 or xbox, but not both at once, December 15, 2007

This cable has worked well for my PS2 on both games and DVDs. It works well for the Xbox too. The cable shielding is sufficient, RCA connectors are solid. Component video connectivity is a big plus.

However, if both the Xbox and PS2 are connected simultaniously, you won't be able to get analog audio through the cables. That is unless you disconnect one of the two systems, which can be a hassle depending on your audio/video setup.
