Question on cables!!!!!!

i just bought the gamestop component cable to play in hd on my 360. I didnt open them yet but i saw user reviews on them on the gamestop site and it says it dosent have a switch to switch over to HD so it actually dosent run in HD. Should i return these and get the microsoft branded cables?

These are the gamestop edition cables: (read the reviews the customers wrote on them).

Yes take them back - just get the MS branded one - or ones from a high end cable manufacturer (such as Psyclone or Monster).  Really the MS cable works well - if you want extra shielding or ultra quality in the cable check the other two I listed - but there won't really be any difference in image quality.  PS- Psyclone is available at BestBuy, but they're like $70 for the cable, so just go with the MS one unless you really need the extra shielding.

what is the switch they are talking about? i have vga hd cables and they dont have a HD switch.krislim

on the ms cables, there is a small switch to change the video feed for either hd or sd televisions. vga wouldn't have it because, in theory, a vga cable is capable of any resolution, depending on which monitor it is hooked into. and, don't take this too seriously, but your avatar is the single most annoying thing i have ever seen...i_noseworthy

 ahaha thanks and yeah thats why i picked this avatar :) used to be a jessica alba lol

Just because they dont have the switch doesnt mean they are not HD. I have Monster component cables and they dont have an HD switch, but they dont have the SD connection included with the cable like the MS branded ones either.RabbidDawg

hahaha so true so true
