Although some third party cables are as much as $10 cheaper, you are doing yourself a huge favor by purchasing the official Sony PS3 cables. The durability is top notch and the picture quality is extremely satisfying.
What's great about it: Durability, performance
What's not so great: Some may think it's too much money

I bought this cable for my PS2 to use on my new Sony HDTV, and it has not failed me. Compared to the composite cable that came with the PS2, this component cable is way better. I can instantly see a difference on the picture quality, it's much sharper and cleaner. No more horizonal line going across the screen. I'm glad I made the purchase.
What's great about it: Picture quality
What's not so great: None so far

I bought this to see if there was a difference in the quality of the picture. I seen a significant difference in blu ray movies and games. Even the startup menu had more clarity. However after having this for only six months, the cord is malfunctioning. I have to maneuver the cord sometimes to get a picture. Then, sometimes I don't have sound. I think the better move is to buy the HDMI cable.
What's great about it: Clarity of picture
What's not so great: Doesn't last long
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don't have a TV with HDMI even though it is a HD TV. Bought the TV right at the turn of HD TVs so this cable is perfect. The movies come in great though probably not as great as an HDMI cable, but I wouldn't know the difference.
What's great about it: Easy, convenient
What's not so great: none

These cables are best served on a 1080p HD Tv's. I don't recommend
them for 720p and 1080i Tv's.
Gold plated connectors is a huge plus and is no doubt the best way to go.
What's great about it: The work great on 1080p HD Tv's.
What's not so great: Not good for 720p and 1080i but is still a solid product.

When I got the cable, compared to the one that comes with the PS3, I was amazed by the difference in quality of picture. HD quality it beautiful, though I suppose a lot has to do with your HDTV. Would absolutely recommend.
What's great about it: Needed for full PS3 HD exerience.

This cable is a must have for PS3 users that want high-quality video, but don't yet have an HDMI TV or system. PS3s should ship with this cable.
What's great about it: Straightforward to use. Allows pre-HDMI TVs to access good resolution
What's not so great: The PS3 isn't smart enough to recognize and fully use pre-HDMI TV features

I recently purchased an Insignia 32" rated at 1080p and 120hz. i have a 360, Gamecube, and PS2 connected. The cube and 2 were connected with the factory composite (red, white, yellow) cables and looked like you were watching a 1950's tv show when you played games. I purchased this cable for the 2 and composite for the cube and WOW what a difference!!! I really pity those who have a HDTV and a PS2 connected with composite cables. What are you waiting for??? You need to upgrade. This is a great alternative for parents who can't afford a PS3 but want their children to have a good gaming experience on an HDTV. Good luck all and HAPPY GAMING!!!
What's great about it: Attempts to make the PS2 HD and does better than anticipated
What's not so great: They dont come with a PS2 when you buy the console
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I was shopping around for a component cable for the PS3 I purchased this one along with two other similar priced third party products. For the same price, give or take $5, I was able to find cables with thicker cabling and gold plated connectors. When comparing this cable to the others while playing a BluRay movie the others had a clearer and sharper picture. Component hook ups are an analog signal so cable quality is important. The cabling on this cable is thin and prone to disturbance from all the other power and a/v cables you will have near it.
What's great about it: Does what it's supposed to
What's not so great: Side-by-side quality when compared to some others
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Component A/V Cable is GREAT!! If you have a TV with Y, Ps, and Pr on the back of your TV or the side. If you can't find them on your TV then you have been warned.
Anyways this cable is like taking place of your Playstation 3 so you won't be needing it anymore but keep it still just in case. For me it gave me a really good image and sound too. Feels like i'm there fighting along my men.
What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: ???

I have to say I was little skeptical but after hook up it calmed my fears. I hope the device up to my HDTV and I was very impressed. It was as though I was playing my games for the first time. This is not even the HDMI cord. So I was very satified and i haven't had any problems.

I have a very average big screen tv and playing on PS3 on my tv the image looked stretched out but now the image is much more sharp and defined. Games like College Football, Call of Duty, and Killzone 2(only have the demo since i preordered), look better!!! Highly recomend this product instead of paying more money for HDMI cables
What's great about it: Clearity improved from standard cables: Sharper images and get the more realistic look that every is excited about
What's not so great: NONE!

I bought a $100 dollar HDMI cable and thought why not try this out for my PS3 and it looks the same. I was mad at myself but this a a great produte for the price. At 1080p it looks great. I always thought the higher price would be better but I was wrong on this one... Great buy though..
