My friend bought be Monster Game ComponentVideoStereoAudio cables for the xbox 360 as a b-day gift. The box claims that you can play high definition and 720p/ 1080i however I can already do this with my stardard cables that came with the xbox ( I currently have it 1080i)

So im just wondering if this cables are useless and the box is lying ( it says on the box that component video cables are not included with you xbox) or if it is just a better/ higher quality cable.

Heres a link to the cable

  1. I agree with the previous responces.  I never recommend Monster Cables because of the price.  Check out monoprice dot come for great prices on cables, and they ship fast as well.  I've ordered from them a bunch of times, and have never been dissapointed. I believe they have an Xbox component connection cable.


  2. The only way you can get HD is via component, DVI or HDMI cables.  I don't think the XBox 360 comes with component cables (but I never checked) If it came with just the yellow (composite) red and white, then no you are not getting HD, the Xbox is just scaling the image down to 480i to be passed along composite.

    I never recommend Monster brand because of cost, but because you got this as a gift, it will do just as advertised.

  3. Ah... Monster cables. Now, it's not that monster cables are bad. Monster cables are just over priced. They're decent cables, but aren't worth the price.

    Also ( I think, as I don't have an Xbox), only certain Xbox packages include the HD cables.
