Customer Review: These Cables Rock
Summary: 5 Stars
These Cables Will Make a HUGE Difference in the quality of your images for both DVD and Games.Also, I bent the cable when moving my TV and broke one of the internal wires. I emailed Monster and in FOUR DAYS I had a new cable! That's Great Service. This purchase is covered for LIFE.
Customer Review: No Audio? Duh!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the title of the cable:"Monster Cable GameLink 400 Component-Video Cable for PlayStation 2 (10 feet) by Monster Cable"
Does it say 'Audio' in there anywhere? No. It says Component-Video. Please read the title before you buy. Can save you from looking stupid.
Customer Review: Clean and Clear
Summary: 5 Stars
Great upgrade for the PS2; component video is much better than conventional RCA hookups. Couple it with a fiber optic cable and you'll be able to achieve, crisp, clean sound as well.Customer Review: Monster cable 400 Component cable for PS2

Customer Review: If you don't have digital audio avoid this product
Summary: 4 Stars
If you don't have digital audio capabilities avoid this product. Instead, purchase the "Monster Cable PGL400 CVAA-10 GameLink" instead [Product Number: B00006345I]. It is the exact same item (with the highest quality "Component Video") except that it has 5 cables instead of 3 (including 2 analog audio cables which will work with all TVs).
This product, however, only consists of 3 component video cables -no audio.
If you DO have digital audio capabilities AND want to buy a separate digital audio cable then that is fine -the color and clarity are wonderful. The cable is very durable and you really can't do better regarding the visual quality.
On the other hand, if you have a TV or Receiver that does NOT support digital audio, then this will be a problem --because the only other audio out on the PS-2 is digital audio.
I had not planned to use digital audio and I purchased these cables. When I tried to hook up the playstation I realized there was no audio connection. Luckily I have a brand new tv and it did support digital audio, but I had to go out and order one more cable to do so -and that cable can range from $20 to $60 depending on where it is purchased (potentially doubling the cost of your cable investment). My personal preference is just to buy a generic (i.e. non PS-2 branded) Monster digital audio cable which is pretty cheap and is of high quality -such as the "Monster Cable THX-Certified Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect Cable (4 Feet)" [product Number: B00006JKW5]. I purchased this cable and was very happy with it.
If you DO have digital audio, and you do NOT want to purchase a SEPARATE digital audio cable, you have one more option. You can purchase this third PS-2/Monster "Component" choice instead --the "Monster Cable PGL450CV/DV GameLink 450 Kit" [Product Number: B00006345E]. This kit includes both the component video item above with a PS-2 Monster branded digital audio cable. The downside here is that the audio cable adds a lot to the cost.
