The PS2 and the PS3 have the same type video output, so if you get or have the PS2 component video cable, it will work with the PS3. Also, the cables labled as for the PS2 seem to be cheaper.

I waited a month fot this item to be in stock, until some guy at Game Stop told me this. I had the PS2's component video cable, so I just connected it to the PS3 and I got my HD. A guy in wal mart also told me that the XBOX 360's cable would work, but this is unverified.

Ignore the stars I assinged, the site won't let you post if you don't rate, and I just wanted to get this info out there.

Yes you can get cheaper HD on the PS3 with optical audio, but I didn't feel like running all over town for the 1/4-the-price component + stereo cable and then hunting for a decent length optical toslink cable so I got this instead. It's on the pricey side as you'd expect from Monster but the connectors are nice machined pieces instead of unreliable rolled sheet metal. They wont break the connector board off the back of your TV or AV receiver when you try to plug them in or remove them.

It's also quite long (ladies...) and having both cables the same length means you wont be stuck with unsightly coiled wires in the ten foot span between the shiny new game console on your mantle and your home theatre on the other side of the room.

I feel it's a decent buy because other stores can gouge you for cables (alliteratively named electronics stores, I'm looking in your direction!!) and the combo pack isn't really much more expensive than individual ps2/ps3 component and toslink cables. If you can find them 10 feet long.

Lost an overall star for the high price and my personal shame at buying this brand.

Lost fun-ness stars because well... it's just not that fun.

They don't say it anywhere on the packaging or on this page, but these cables are great for the PS2. The connection ports for the component video cables are identical on the PS2 and PS3.

I was just forced to replace my PS3 with the new slim model (which dropped PlayStation 2 backward compatibility) so I bought a new PS2 and got these cables to go with it. The component cables work excellently, if not a little too good since they make it that much easier to see the limitations in the PS2's graphics (ah how spoiled I've become by HD graphics in games)... but I'm confident these are among the best cables to use with the PS2 console. The package also comes with a separate digital audio cable that plugs into the PS2's optical audio port. Although PS2 games don't really take advantage of it, I was at least able to connect it to my receiver to get the ProLogic audio output and it sounded great.

I was very pleased by the look of the cables as well, they're modern looking and don't have the standard analog audio cables attached that would otherwise just tangle unplugged.

If you're looking to get the best possible video and audio out of your PS2, these cables are a great option. Although HDMI is a far superior connection for the PS3, PlayStation 3 users who are unable to connect through HDMI would probably find these to be a solid choice as well.

I ordered the cable with two day shipping and got it promptly. The cables and packaging seem to be high quality for the price, and I am able to set my PS3 to 1080p hooked up to my 55 inch Sony. The image quality looks as good as HDMI (I purchased this because a power surge destroyed my PS3's HDMI output).

BIG caveat, and not this products fault by any means.. Make sure your TV has a digital audio input if you are not hooking this to a sound system. My Sony KDL55HX729 has a digital audio connection, which I stupidly assumed would be an input (or some kind of dual mode) when it is an output only. I'm not a home entertainment expert, especially on the audio side of things, so perhaps no TVs have this as an input. My 32 inch Bravia only has digital audio out as well.

So now I need to buy another cable that has the component (Red, Green, Blue) with composite audio (Red, White) to get sound on my TV speakers. Just a warning to anyone else in my situation. Check your inputs!

I have a really old HDTV that doesn't have HDMI inputs. It only has component and DVI. So when I finally bought my PS3 in late 2010, I needed component video cables for it. This package actually contains 2 separate cables. The component video cable and the optical digital cable are not attached to each other in any way. Which is a good thing! Considering you get both of these cables at such a low price, it's a good value if you're stuck with using component video. These are genuine Monster brand cables, so the build quality is solid.
