Terrible Cable
By Bardo from Chicago on 9/14/2008
Pros:
Good concept
Cons:
Does not work, No audio, Terrible execution
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Player
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Every one of these cables should be recalled. I have a wall mounted plasma and had to remove the TV, run the cable through the wall, hook up all the games and guess what?? PlayStation 2 works, Wii gets no sound whatsoever. Save yourself the trouble and don't buy this cable.

Worst product I have ever purchased. This is actually a replacement, because I thought the first one was broken. Turns out it is just bad. DO NOT BUY IT.

a incomplete and defective product

NOTHING
Cons:
Clumsy Design, Difficult Interface, Does Not Improve Game Play

Well when you get this cable you expect to have all your systems connected at the same time, you can but there is sound loss, who knows why but only one system must be connected at a time to have sound and you have to manually switch to other systems, if you have a hdtv do not get any kind of universal cable,they are not made for that especially the xbox 360 connection it lack the tv/hdtv switch needed to preserve the hdtv settings, an incomplete and defective product no matter the brand

Returning this today...picture quality was a little better, but it cut off the edges and it's built to last about a week. This product is a waste.

this cable isn't too bad of a product. it gives you the high definition that your looking for in the next-gen systems if you don't have the hdmi option. i've got mine hooked into a receiver for video pass-through to my tv, but i don't use the audio cables as i have my ps3 hooked in using a fiber optic cable for surround, however, when hooked up to a tv, sound isn't terrible. haven't had any problems with this, makes the picture look the way it should for HD

 
waste of money
By Benny P.Verified Reviewer from New York, NY on 1/10/2008
Pros:
None
Cons:
Doesn't work
Best Uses:
Garbage
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If multiple consoles are hooked up at the same time it can not produce any audio. In order for there to be audio you must disconnect one console. DO NOT BUY, unless you're alright with switching the connection every time you want to change consoles.
