If you can't get HDMI, then Component A/V Cable is the way to go. I have the Monster Game Component A/V Cable for PS2 and it is the same except mine is blue (since blue is the PS2 theme color) and it works on all of the PlayStations since 1997. I would recommend that anyone looking to buy HD cables for their PS3 get a regular brand HDMI cable (Philips is perfect at just $33) or a Sony Component A/V Cable ($14.95 compared to Monster Game's outrageous $59.99!!!!!). Monster Cable's prices are just daft!

I am absolutly blow away by this product. Now that it is only a few dollars more then the sony brand there should be no reason not to buy this product!

I have two PS3's now (one is my dads). On my TV I can run HDMI, but on my fathers TV it is slightly older TV that doesn't have HDMI inputs. When I orginally bought my PS3 I also bought the sony component cable to hook up to my dads tv (because its bigger than mine) and when I used it I was getting diagonal lines running through the tv at all resolution levels. Now using the monster component cable lines are gone and high resolution looks just as good as if it were running with hdmi.

I am completely blown away from by this product and how much of a difference a monster cable does. I always said other cheaper brands are just as good as monster cable... sadly I am going to say it does make a difference in this case. And the price difference is negible now too so there should be no reason to buy the other brands.

The cable itself is about 8 feet long, and about 1/2" thick (not joking the thing is a lot thicker then most power cords), has the 3 component male ends with two stereo audio RCA cables that are all run as a single cord for most of the lenght. Just be carefull when connecting as there are two red coloured wires but slightly different pattern of colouration. The connections were nice and tight and found a slight turn and push method worked the best for getting them in. Perfect fit into the back to the PS3.

I am running optical cable Mediabridge Toslink Cable Optical Digital Audio Cable 15ft for sound so I don't know how the sound is with this cable.

If you need to run component for the PS3 this is the perfect item.

I had no idea what I was missing out on with a CRT TV and a composite cable. I thought the text in any of my games would be forever blurry to the point of not being able to clearly read it. When I got myself an HD TV/monitor to use for school I needed to get a component cable to be able to continue using my PS3. With the variety of cables on Amazon I wasn't quite sure which one to get. The cheaper ones apparently had no ends of problems and in my past experience, cheap stuff sucks; the canon Sony cables are a bit on the expensive side.

As for the cable, it's called a monster for a reason; it's a thick sucker! Heavy-duty and not apt to break easily. I noticed that during installation (which is so basic I think you'd have to be skilled at not being able to understand how to match colors), the plugs fit snugly making them less apt to come off for almost any reason. It doesn't come 'naked' as the picture suggests; it comes in that type of secure packaging that is moderately annoying to get into; similar to those things that require a pair of sharp scissors or a package knife to cut around the edges to get to the stuff inside.

Game play has improved far beyond my expectations. What was blurry and hard to read is crisp and amazingly easy to read. Colors are more vibrant as well. Overall my gaming experience has been .... wow. I'm still picking up bits of my mind that was blown away the first time I turned my PS3 on.

Highly recommended!!!!

STILL GREAT!!!!!

PS3 is down with the RLOD/YLOD so I'm using the cord with my PS2 slim. EEKKGADS!!!!! So amazing!!!!

Well, I bought the Slim PS3 120 gig last week, It was hard to find where I live, and I knew going in that it only had composite a/v cord, so I did what any tech guy would do, I ordered some friggin cables.

I bought a HDMI cable cheap from amazon.com that 4 dollar one that is so popular on here, I bought a Optical Cable for Digital Audio. Once again from here. Then I thought I was good to go, little did I know PS3 and Samsung tv's dont match well when it comes to HDMI, my HDMI connection doesn't work, so I bought this cable, (Monster Component PS3 cable) I chose this one instead of the one made for the ps3 which the seller also carries, but I decided to buy the monster because retail wise this one cost 50 bucks vs. 30 retail for the ps3 brand component cable. So I figured the more expensive the more quality. Well I dont know how good the component cable for the ps3 brand is, but this Monster Component cable works AMAZINGLY. The difference between Composite and Component cables are like night and day. The picture is so much vivid and a feast for the eyes. I also own a xbox 360 which is connected to my HDTV via component cable aswell and I must say the PS3 looks allot more Sharper for HD Gaming at least for playing the only game I play for the PS3, Socom Confrontation, wow, its very sharp. I love the graphics and the smoothness of the picture. I would Recommend this cable to anyone that wants HD Gaming and cant get HDMI to work with their HDTV and PS3 or that dont have a HDMI Input on their TVs. The Picture quality is amazing, I cant review on the sound of the cables which I think come with the cable patch, I just use the video aspect of the cables, I use Sony's Optical Cable (toslink) for my PS3s Audio with my Surround Sound System. Great Combo, Component Video and Optical(toslink)for Audio.

So If you want a good cable buy this one, its only 11 bucks with shipping included.

Playstation 3 component cables, made by Monster cable. Allows HD playback without an HDMI cable, though not full 1080p. 720p or 1080i.

-The reason I needed these, is because I record gameplay using an HDPVR as well as a capture card. The way I have things set up, I use the HDPVR for the PS3 and my Xbox360 for the time being, and the HDPVR does not accept HDMI input(or output for that matter), so I needed component cables to capture gameplay. The reason I chose these particular ones instead of the ones made by Sony, or some random/universal console component cable, is because they're Monster Cables.

This is not to debate whether or not Monster cables make a difference or not, you can do that elsewhere.

1)Whether or not they provide better picture is moot. They DON'T provide worse picture.

2)They're made extremely well, and are not going to fray, break, twist, crack etc etc from being behind the home theatre, bent in weird angles and subjected to the heat all my equipment produces.

3)Lifetime warranty/upgrade warranty, no different than ANY other monster product.

The simple fact is, using Monster cables for your A/V needs won't instantly make your experience better. What you're buying when you buy monster, is a quality product. Not some piece of junk cable strung together with the cheapest materials suitable for the job, but a precision made cable, using exact length copper wire, gold plated, split toothed connections for a great connection, now and ten years from now, and then coated in a extremely durable yet incredibly flexible outer shell to not only provide protection from damage, but to shield the cable from any interference. Does that make your blu-ray look better? Probably not. But Im the type of person who can't hook up a 4 dollar cable to expensive equipment.

This cable in particular looks real sharp, which is always a bonus. The cable is very flexible and doesn't hold a curl or get tangled. The only thing you may find you don't like, is how snug the connections are. Personally, I prefer it. It pretty much guarantees that the cable won't be ripped out of your TV, and you'll have the best contact possible inside the TV.

Don't buy this expecting your PS3 to instantly put out better graphics then your old component cables. BUT, if you need to use component hookups(ie: dont have a full HD TV, or want to use an inline PVR), AND you appreciate a well made product and don't mind spending that bit extra to get the better product, then this is a good cable.
