Great cable but may not fit your Xbox,
First, the quality of this cable really is superb. The contacts all look gold-plated and the construction is solid. There are only two problems which prevented this from getting 5 stars:
1) The shrink tubing that is supposed to keep the audio cables separated from the video cable was not heated and shrunk. This can be fixed if you have a heat gun but come on – pretty sad it was missed. This might have been an isolated incident, however.
2) More important: This cable is NOT designed to fit into a first-generation Xbox. I have two different Xboxes, one a first-release and the other a later version. The later revision model’s AV port has a plastic top and a metal bar along the bottom and this cable fits and works fine. The earlier model’s AV port is entirely plastic and this cable is a VERY tight fit. It took some (very careful) effort to plug it in, and once in it does not go all the way into the slot. However, if you manage to plug it in, it does work and the quality is fine. (Note I am not talking about the original Xbox versus the Xbox 360. I am talking about release versions of the original Xbox.)
Going from composite video (just the yellow cable) to this component cable really is a huge jump in quality. The image is sharper and there is none of that annoying dot-crawl so common with composite video. As should be obvious from the picture, the sound is NOT HD, but just the standard left/right audio. I’ve noticed no problems with noise or lines as other reviews have claimed to have.
Overall it’s a great cable when considering the price. Just be careful if you have an older Xbox when plugging the cable in. You may have to wiggle it in and out several times before getting it in place.

First skeptical, then pleased.,
I am very pleased with the product I bought. I looked into this a week ago and saw that some people had one experience and others had another. Maybe it has something to do with which store your item comes from, but I don’t know. I ordered the one from Classic Game Source for about $7. It was the one people are talking about that has both the regular composite (yellow) output as well as the hd component (r,b,g). It also has an optional optical hookup for a higher quality audio, although the regular (red and white) cables work great. I didn’t have any lines in the picture or anything. On my 32″ 720p tv it makes a huge difference. Now bear in mind that you have to go to the video settings on your xbox (found in the msdashboard) and change your settings to widescreen and enable each of the HD resolutions that your tv supports. And even then few of the games are up to 1080i, although there are a good number that are 720p and even the ones that are just standard STILL look a lot better through this cable. Not every game is made for widescreen so you’ll have to switch your tv between 16:9 and 4:3 for whichever game your playing but even then the picture is still great. So maybe some of the other buyers just plugged it in and didn’t realize you have to change your settings. I don’t know about them, but I am very happy with mine.

Original Xbox Component Cables that work great!,
What needs to be said? These are component cables for the xbox 1/ original xbox (not the xbox 360). They allow your system to be viewed accurately on an HDTV. They are cheap, and they work great! No complaints here!

Great cable, excellent price!,
I ordered this cable about a week and a half ago and have found no problems whatsoever. The cable [seems] authentic with the Microsoft holographic sticker and logo. I’ve been using the cable for about a week at 720p and haven’t seen any ghosting, blurriness, delay, flickering, low fps, nothing. Great cable that is needed for all xbox 360 consoles , and at a great price.
As for the one bad review, defective products happen. Mass production is never perfect, believe me. Doesn’t necessarily mean that the cable is fake, used, tampered, just got lucky with a bad one.

Bad quality, with ghosting…,
These cables are very cheap and have a strong scent of plastic about them. Note: I have a 46 inch Samsung LCD TV at 1080p. Immediately after I turned my Xbox 360 on using these cables, I could see double (ghosting) of everything! The text on screen looked the worst, and was very difficult to read. The images were also doubled very badly. I also use Netflix on Xbox Live and the image quality of their HD movies looked very bad as well. Do not waste your time. As much as I hate to say it, you are going to have to pay for the official Microsoft cables unless you want this ghosting problem and bad quality. Returned immediately.
