RCA Audio Cable Adapter for XBOX 360 + Slim Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product to use optical audio out with HDMI on my xbox.With this dongle plugged in, my XBOX restarts if I switch inputs on my monitor or switch the monitor off then back on.Xbox acts normal without the dongle plugged in.

I found that these non-genuine versions are missing a connection between pins inside the connector.Google "xbox hdmi optical restart" and look for an avsforum result.You will need to connect two pins via a wire or soldering.

I have filed a complaint on my purchase so we'll see if I can get a refund since it does not work as it should.

Sega Dreamcast DC VGA Box w/ S-Video & RCA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the hierarchy of Dreamcast hookups, this is the king of the hill.Basically, the worst picture available is with an RFU adaptor, the next step up is the standard composite video cables supplied with the Dreamcast, much better than that would be an S-video cable (which you can use with this box as well), and a step up from even the incredible looking S-Video cable is this VGA box.This box will let you hook up your Dreamcast to a computer monitor _or_ if your HDTV has a "PC In" or VGA port, to your high def TV.And I've got mine hooked up that way to a 44" TV.When I first hooked it up, I must confess, it didn't completely blow me away.But when I compared to what I'd been using by going back a step (S-Video, which looks really great as is), there was no comparison, VGA is much more crisp and strong.Really, when you've got this hooked up, Dreamcast games look better than PS2 and Xbox games, only second to truly high-def Xbox 360 and PS3 games.

A couple of notes:
Don't overpay - this box goes for between $20 and $30 if you watch and wait; don't lose your mind and pay $70.
Also, keep in mind - the box alone does _not_ come with a PC VGA cable, which you'll need.Nor does it come with audio out cords, and what I needed was a splitter from the headphone out jack on the box to go into composite RCA red/white cables, to hook into my stereo tv.You could also get a set of PC speakers and a headphone-type out for the sound.You can find these either on Amazon or at your local electronics shop on the cheap.

Product Description:
With this full-featured Sega Dreamcast VGA Box, you will be able to hook up your Dreamcast up to any VGA monitor or a TV with VGA support in addition to virtually any TV.This is ideal for HDTVs as you can hook it up via any of the following ways (from highest to lowest quality) * VGA Video Cable * S-Video Cable * Composite (RCA) Video CableOnce you have your Dreamcast attached to a VGA display, you will be able to experience the Dreamcast at its most beautiful form. If you have played many PC games, you know how much crisper and cleaner the picture quality is. Now imagine high-resolution games like Soul Calibur and Guilty Gear X being displayed on a VGA monitor. It is truly a sight to behold.Basically, the VGA Box has all the features of the regular Dreamcast VGA Cable, but with much more flexibility with the addition of S-Video and Composite (RCA) video output.If you have a game that does not support VGA mode (see the VGA compatibility list), you can with the box to "TV Mode" and switch your TV to the S-Video or Composite input for maximum compatibility.

PlayStation 3 HDMI Cable & USB Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Its difficult to wax poetic about a cable - if it works well you should never even notice that its there.

And I want to be careful here not to wade into a discussion of how much a cable is worth, especially when talking about digital signals that are either there, or not.

I pondered the question of $3 or $300 cables for a long while, and chose to hedge my bets by buying this one for the following reasons:

a) Its pricing places it right in the middle of the pack.
b) you can see just by looking at it why it might merit this price.
c) It would be madness for SCEA to sell a product as graphically intense as the PS3 and hobble it with poor quality cables. (These cables are made by SCEA too.)

So what do I get? I get extremely high cable construction quality, and a set of extra long cables. The 10-foot USB cable length is a boon since it lets me position myself comfortably away from the monitor.

The cable jacket is a very flexible cloth like material that makes it look like this cable will last forever, no matter how tightly I squeeze it through the openings in my entertainment center. The ends fit well into my HDMI connectors and are supposed to be gold plated.

All I care about now, is that the images are wonderfully clear ... and I can safely go back to ignoring cables.

PSP Composite AV Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So when I opened my package, the Composite AV link said "Videos, Music, and UMDs on your television."Unfortunately this was a warning that this site as well as the few others which sell this product are missing.Because in the big and fine print on the packaging, it clearly states gameplay cannot be played through these cables.

Bwuh?!?Yes, I was quite shocked and annoyed as well but there it is, the key feature of the PSP-2000 is lacking in these cables.And these worst part is how hard this information was to come by.Consider yourself warned.I sure wasn't.

PlayStation 3 AV Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You're buying a first-party cable here, so expect to retain that cherished first-party feeling Sony puts into all their products. I bought this cable to hook up to my postage-stamped size TV and everything worked accordingly. The aluminum finish on the cable connectors are a beautiful touch and really make my $10 TV look amazing. My only gripe about using AV with a PS3 is that you're going to get what you paid for. The PS3's interface wasn't designed to be on a 19" SD TV - actually any SD TV - and those little 12pt lines of text that look gorgeous in 1080p are going to be microscopic to the point of squinting on most SD TV. It's a crime to use such an incredible machine on such a terrible piece of technology, so if you're purchasing this cable for daily use you should really think twice about what you're using your PS3 for.

HDMI Cable 6FT: 1.3a Category 2 (Full 1080P Capable) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I bought my LCD TV, I paid a fortune for an HDMI cable at the retail store.Stupid me, I should have known better about the outrageous markups many retail stores put on video accessories.Recently, I bought several of these cables at a fraction of the price I paid for that first one, and I used them to connect a Blu-ray player, an Xbox360, and an audio/video receiver.Even with the high shipping cost, these cables are much cheaper than I found elsewhere.And they work just fine.

Remember, HDMI cables transfer digital info -- they pass bits, not an analog signal -- so, basically, they either work or they don't work. You'll either see the complete picture and hear the audio, or you won't (if the cable is defective).These are not like analog cables where cheaper, poor-quality cables can result in a poorer picture or sound.So if you get any HDMI cable that works, you won't get any better quality by paying for more expensive HDMI cables.Reviewers that say they see a poorer picture with cheaper HDMI cables are fooling themselves and don't understand digital vs. analog.

Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reason that I ended up buying the VGA cable was due to the fact that the component signal (both 720p and 1080i) is subject to overscan.This means that the screen "zooms in" slighty so that you are sure to see a complete picture with no black or static edges.This is a problem though with the Xbox 360 because it ends up cropping the image.For example, the HUD in GRAW is cutoff on the corners when using the component cables.This really bothered me so I gave the VGA a try and viola!

I can now go into the dashboard settings and specify 1360 x 768 which closely matches my LCD's native resolution of 1368 x 768.Thus, I am able to see the whole screen without any overscan/cropping.The only downside is that the overall image gets "washed out" when using the VGA cable.However, this is not really a big deal because most of the newer games (GRAW, Oblivion) have an in-game setting for brightness which you can turn down to eliminate the washed out look.

I highly recommend that you at least give the VGA cables a try.Depending on your TV, you may or may not like them.No big deal though because you can just return them.However, you may find that you really like them and will be glad that you tried them out!Check out my VGA vs Component pictures at http://spaces.msn.com/theshepherdsbag/photos/ and read about my detailed testing on my blog at http://spaces.msn.com/theshepherdsbag/blog/ and you can check out this xbox forum thread for further insights at http://forums.xbox.com/2885313/ShowPost.aspx

Lastly, I have the Samsung LNR238W and there is NO ghosting issues when using the VGA cable.

Xbox 360 Breakaway Cable (Short Break-Away Cord for Xbox 360) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It works perfectly for what it's intended, couldn't ask for anything more. It works for my Dance Dance Revolution pad (DDR Universe 2 for the 360). It also works for my wired guitar.

The shipping was extremly fast, absolutly no problems.

The actual "dongle" is longer than I thought, about 7 inches or so, as I had worries it was going to be a tiny wire.

New USB Power Charge Cable Adapter for Nintendo NDSi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product in anticipation of a three-week stint in Italy during which I would not have access to an American AC plug. I am bringing my MacBook Pro and already have the Apple M8794G/B World Travel Adapter Kit to keep my notebook charged overseas. However, having very recently purchased a DSi (read: this product arrived before the DSi did) I wanted an inexpensive way to charge my DSi while I was away from home. Enter the USB Power Charge Cable Adapter, which seemed like a natural solution, and something that would suffice - but the product is so good that I felt the need to write a review. There are a couple things that make it excellent:
a) The price. It's right. Paying less than $6 shipped (in my case it arrived in 2 days with regular shipping from HDE) is spot on for a useful cable like this.
b) The make. This cable has a finish which feels remarkably similar to that of the DSi, and the coloring is a match for the matte black DSi. I am also happy to say that the product quickly and easily charges the DSi without any hassle.
