I've heard good and bad things about the monster set. Personally I think paying that much for cables is insane anyway. I have the MS one and it is great, but you could upgrade from the cheap component cables they bundle with it. Maybe a combination of the MS Hi def pack, and a 3' Monster component cable.

I just bought the M$ HD pack today... haven't opened it.

You say it's cheap? Should I take it back and invest my money elsewhere?

Buy the M$ HDPack. Monster cables are $100 (CDN) + an additional $60 IF you want the optical cable. I doubt you would really notice a difference between the two.

Strange, the MS one I have is a box with female connectors on it that you plug your own component and audio cables into or use the ones that came with it. You must have gotten a different version.

i use a $6 cheapo xbox component cable i got off ebay. it works, and far better than the composite. but hey, probably not the same as the real one. doesnt matter, i dont care to spend $60 on a cable....

MS abandoned their old breakout-box style Hi-Def A/V Pack, and are now using the integrated cable one. See this thread for details.

I prefer the new version, and I have the older style available for sale if someone needs one for their particular setup.

Typical MS anything to save a buck strategy.

By the way, I'm in canada. Check your local EB Games used section. They might have one there.
