Customer Reviews

compatibility
The PS2 and the PS3 have the same type video output, so if you get or have the PS2 component video cable, it will work with the PS3. Also, the cables labled as for the PS2 seem to be cheaper.

I waited a month fot this item to be in stock, until some guy at Game Stop told me this. I had the PS2's component video cable, so I just connected it to the PS3 and I got my HD. A guy in wal mart also told me that the XBOX 360's cable would work, but this is unverified.

Ignore the stars I assinged, the site won't let you post if you don't rate, and I just wanted to get this info out there.

Just the pack I was looking for with an OK price.
Yes you can get cheaper HD on the PS3 with optical audio, but I didn't feel like running all over town for the 1/4-the-price component + stereo cable and then hunting for a decent length optical toslink cable so I got this instead. It's on the pricey side as you'd expect from Monster but the connectors are nice machined pieces instead of unreliable rolled sheet metal. They wont break the connector board off the back of your TV or AV receiver when you try to plug them in or remove them.

It's also quite long (ladies...) and having both cables the same length means you wont be stuck with unsightly coiled wires in the ten foot span between the shiny new game console on your mantle and your home theatre on the other side of the room.

I feel it's a decent buy because other stores can gouge you for cables (alliteratively named electronics stores, I'm looking in your direction!!) and the combo pack isn't really much more expensive than individual ps2/ps3 component and toslink cables. If you can find them 10 feet long.

Lost an overall star for the high price and my personal shame at buying this brand.

Lost fun-ness stars because well... it's just not that fun.

PS3 Component Cable
This is in one if not the best cables you can buy for your PS3, you can get 1080p without HDMI
