Title: Getting A Component Cable For My Xbox
Post by: Rotfloljfk on March 10, 2007, 08:08:00 PM

I have been looking at different component cables for my xbox and I was wondering... does gold plating on the cables REALLY matter? I know gold conducts electricity and stuff better but when it comes to TV is it that big of a deal?

Has someone tested the difference? THANKS

I heard the monsters were good but are REALLY tight

Im thinking about getting a Madcatz universal one so I can use it with my Gamecube too

If I get a Signal switcher box will it not allow me to use 720p, 1080i, etc?

the cable has nothing to do with the signal, its just a connection.

Get the MS Pack.  It's perfect.

And official.
