Customer Review: CAREFUL, READING THIS MAY SAVE YOU MONEY!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
These cables are great but the regular RED and WHITE coded composite audio cables are not included. ...Customer Review: GAMELINK 400
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all, these cables are a little on the expensive side. You will only see a difference when you are using an older high end tv with a poor comb filter. Most of the newer model tvs that have the component video inputs have a decent comb filter. When I purchased the PS2, I hooked it up to an old RCA TV and used the supplied cables that came with the PS2. The games looked good, but the movies were below standard. When I watched Verical Limit I could see the bleeding in red and blue. It was very obvious. When I purchased my new TV (JVC D-series, 32inch)and used the supplied cables the image was much sharper due to the great comb filter. I wanted the best, so I purchased the gamelink 400. When I hooked it up I couldn't tell the difference. I looked for every detail, and I could not find anything different. It depends on your tv, if you have a newer tv you really don't need it. I am a monster fan, but I am just telling the truth. I love the lightwave 100 and powerstation 600, they are both worth the money.Customer Review: Not as great as it should be

The cable does offer superior picture and sound quality as the product claims. There is a flaw with the cable however. For almost [money] you would expect a better connector from the cable to the PS2 system. The monster cable connector is not quite a tight enough fit which causes it to make a bad contact. The symptoms you might get are flickering on the screen and slight loss in sound or sound quality before the connection is lost without warning while playing. Not only is this annoying but it is also frustrating when you hit a tense spot in a game and then have to pause it to correct the problem. I would have expected a lot more for my money! I should mention that my PS2 is ALWAYS stationary and is not moving at all when the connection is lost. This situation while aggrivating, is not all that bad but I would recommend a different cable for anyone who has all of their A/V equipment jammed in a cabinet and cannot get to the connectors easily.Customer Review: Not worth the money.

I bought these to integrate the PS2 into my home theater.However they don't work as well as they should.The the connector on the PS2 side is very loose and will move enough to make the picture on screen useless.This isn't tragic as you can get up and fiddle with it to get the picture back.Having to do adjust your video cable everytime the system is moved (such as inserting a memory card or pulling on a controller cable)can get very annoying. I should have known better when I bought these. Monster makes very poor quality cabling as far as durability goes.I used quite a few monster products when initially wiring my home theater and had several of them fall apart on me or fail to function.Picture quality is ok but nothing spectacular.My recommendation is to just use the Sony cables.They are cheaper,you will hardly notice a difference in quality and they will not be an annoyance.
Customer Review: Great cables, until one of the colors goes out!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these cables, brought them home and immediatly hooked them up. I set the PS2 for component and set my TV for it as well. And it looked awesome....for about 2 weeks. Then the short in the cables caused only the blue and green colors to work making everything look creepy. It would just fade back and forth until it just stop and the TV would have all the colors washed out in green.
I found that I could stick a PS2 case under the cables at the base and it went away. But sometimes someone would move the case and it would come back.
I have the PStwo (Small version) and the PS2... the small version has the problem, but the large one doesnt. So dont get them if you have the small version... The large one works fine.
