User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars cheap, but confusing
I bought this for my wii. I was surprised that this was so much cheaper than the other options. When I first tried to set it up I couldn’t get it to work. The manual didn’t say anything. Then, as I was putting it in it’s box to return it, I saw a little switch that said TV-HDTV. After I flipped the switch it worked great. Why it didn’t come already set to HDTV, or explain there was a switch, I don’t know.

But for me it did work with my wii, and it was less then half the price of other component cables.

5 Stars Cheap component cables for the Playstation 3
I got these for my PS3 because they were the cheapest component cables I could find. They’re advertised as being for the PS2, but the PS3 uses the same connector and these cables work just fine. No complaints!

1 Star False advertising
Don’t buy it if you expect it to work with a Gamecube or old-gen Xbox. No matter what the page says, what model # it says you’re getting or how it’s marked, they’re going to send you a version that works with PS2/3, Xbox 360 and Wii instead.

Pretty sad that they’d rather gamble on getting to keep our money than simply update the page to say they aren’t selling this product anymore.

5 Stars The God Cable: Works as advertised for Wii, 360, and PS2
I bought this for a friend, and we successfully used it to connect his Wii, XBOX 360, and PlayStation 2 to the single component input on his HDTV. I assume that it would work for his PS3, but we didn’t try it.

I would both (1) buy this again and (2) recommend it to a friend. The only downside to it is that the lengths of cable given to actually attach the devices to the cable basically force you to have a small pile of consoles to one side of your TV–one foot each just simply isn’t enough.

1 Star Not what is shown in picture!
This is not what is shown in the picture. The product i got only has 3 adapters. I cannot keep the cable plugged into the Wii and the 360 at the same time. Wii will not work unless i unplug the 360. Cannot hook up my GC or PS2!

1 Star Same sad song
I was so excited to finally see a third party component cable for the GC. As with the other reviewers the cable does not work.

None of these reviews were here when I bought it. Oh well I just hope these cautionary posts ward off further disappointment for GC owners.

1 Star Not worth the money
4 in 1 cables do not provide digital picture. The plug end that plugs into gamecube unit is an analog connection that does not provide digital signal. In other words the cables have an analog connection that goes into a digital connection , Just doesnt work . I would not reccommend buying this product it simply does not work

3 Stars Please don’t let me be misunderstood
Attention! For Game Cube and N64 this cable does NOT work as component video. It’s just a regular AV cable.

1 Star Poor Buy - 4-in-1 component cable
This compenent cable will mate to the analog video out of a gamecube, but will not provide audio or color to the compenent in of a television. I do not know if this works for playstation or xbox but do not use for gamecube as advertised on the package.

1 Star This product misrepresents itself
This item does not work as a component video cable for the Gamecube. Do not waste your money or time if that is what you want. If you are looking for a extremely cheap PS2 component cable, then this is ok, however there are much better cables available for just a little more money.
