 High Quality October 6, 2008
Very good cable, works on my native resolution 1280x1024. Only bad thing is its max frequency is 60Hz
True HD Outside of a HDMI Cable September 10, 2008
If you want HD quality video out of your Xbox, but it's not an Elite, than you want these cables. For $40, this includes everything you need to take your standard Xbox to the next level of video quality. And I don't know if it's just my HDTV or cables or what, but for whatever reason, the standard cables that come with an Xbox do not produce anything that looks better than normal component quality, even using the HD plugs and flipping the switch on the AV cable, so this is what you ACTUALLY want.
I bought these when I lived in a dorm, and we shared a TV, so I didn't get to play when I wanted to. These worked because I took my then CRT monitor, and hooked the Xbox into that with these cables (contrary to what I thought, these cables come with a female-female adapter connector in order to connect the male cable of a CRT monitor to the male cable of the Xbox, so don't worry about that). The quality of the video is amazing. You don't know what you're missing using component cables until you hook up using a VGA cable connector (what these are); the difference is mind blowing. All that text you can't read on a normal TV, all that text that's too small, or those far-off targets in shooters, or that tiny red spot in Halo 3 that appears in your reticle to let you know of a headshot, well with these cables, and ESPECIALLY with an HD TV, you can now see those things with absolute clarity.
Further, these cables come with a speaker jack adapter, so that you can either plug the two audio cables into your TV, or plug them into your computer and use your computer speakers (by using the microphone input jack), which, in my case, are MUCH better than my TV's speakers.
So, in the end, these are what you want as an easy, very convenient way of ramping up your gaming experience without shelling out $400 for an Elite (or actually, buying an Elite and a new HD TV). No complaints whatsoever.
Perfect For Those Who Don't Own HDTVs September 1, 2008

I am moving into a dorm soon, and as with most dorms, space is a HUGE issue. I wanted to bring my XBOX 360 but didn't want to bring an additional TV that would have taken up a lot of space, and still would have been too small to enjoy the superb graphics that many of the games have to offer.
I noticed that the VGA cord was for sale, so I bought it to be able to use my computer monitor as a screen. All I have to say is WOW. Best thirty something dollars I have ever spent! Full HD support, great color, and extremely convenient too.
If you don't own an HDTV, get one of these cords and attach it to any computer monitor. The difference in quality will amaze you.
Note: Some earlier review have stated that the colors can be washed out or not as good as component. That was fixed by an update, so it shouldn't be an issue now!

The VGA cable is nice for people who dont own a tv (or a good one) and own a computer. Halo 3 and GTA 4 look awesome on my Optiquest moniter. The sound is hooked to the line in on my soundcard in the computer which gives clear digital audio that will give you the feeling that you are actually in the game you are playing. I believe this product is the best of its kind especially since it was made by microsoft.
