Don't know why everyone is fighting about MS versus Sony versus WII. I have an XBox, PS2 Slim and Gamecube. Like them all, and have the three because I like games on all three of them. They all have their good games and bad games, it's all about the games isn't it? Most households have DVD players so why would that be a selling point for either the 360 or the PS3, Xbox or the PS2??? WII is great for some people who like the exercise and the "gee whiz" of the new technology, but the graphics....well not the best of the three. PS3, Blu Ray, nice touch and just a Blu Ray player costs almost as much as a PS3. Now I bought a PS3 this last Christmas because the graphics of the 360 and the PS3 are really awesome. Why a PS3 you might ask.......well just read all the forums.......I prefer a piece of hardware that works most of the time......"read RROD". I have been told that MS has the newer systems fixed, but prefer to see what their track record looks like in a year or so. I am rooting for them as I would prefer to buy "Made in the USA", but hey, red lights are just not that exciting to me. But then I could be wrong.

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.
Found a set like you have on line also. If the HD AV Pack doesn't work will order them. May order them also, to bypass the HD AV Pack, as now I will have to purchase some regular component cables to go from the pack to the Monitor, as what I ordered did not have the cables with it. Was 9.95 plus shipping 9.95 (20.00). I found cables like yours for 15.99 up to 50 something. Too bad I ordered the other, but like I said you live and learn. Thanks again for the help.
