Hey all, I am looking for some Xbox Component Cables. I can't find them anywhere anymore. My new roommate is bringing his HDTV to school and I want to beable to play my Xbox in 480p so it doesn't get all distorted.

Does anybody know where I can find them?

Oh maybe some DVI cables too...

I got this set for $20 off ebay

They say the type of branded cable makes no difference, so you should be fine with the ones you listed.

Gamestop should have these universal component cables that work on the regular xbox. Thats what I bought, and they are great. gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802795

Same here. I just have to move the cable to either my PS2 or XBOX when I want to play that console. Those do work just fine.

I bought the Legacy cables from GameStop and they did not work on my XBox Ver 1.6 at all. I bought a HD Av Adapter on Ebay for 9.99 plus 9.99 shipping (20.00) Works like a charm but had to then buy a set of regular component cables (RCA on both ends) these cost 11.99 so spent 32.00 total. But the results are spectacular!! Can get 480p, 720p and 1080i all in WS if the game puts out those resolutions. Matrix, Freedom Fighters, True Crime in LA look spectacular in 720p. I use a 21 inch Gateway FPD2185W computer monitor capable of all these resolutions with componet inputs. All other games capable of 480p are also great looking with the HD AV Adapter. But after hearing from KnArFnB in another thread I ordered the same cables he has. Cost me the about the same. 12.50 and 9.00 for shipping (21.50). Hey I have always heard monster cables are the best. Thanks KnArFnB, should get the cables in a day or two and will let you know if I can see any difference. Hate to admit it but have a brand new PS2 Slim and since I bought this XBox used from GameStop haven't turned the PS2 on!! Have 6 games for the PS2 and about 15 for the XBox. Oh well live and learn.
