I've read on here before that I could get a good knock off VGA cable, but I don't remember where. Can someone help?

Thanks

I got mine at www.play-asia.com. Less than $15 shipped, though the shipping takes about 10 days.

I have a toslink digital optical hooked up to my component cable, Which one do I need to use a toslink dig optical cable, or does one come with it?

Play Asia has two different versions of the VGA cable-- one without an optical out, and one with. I bought the one with the optical out, since I have a surround sound system. If I understand your question right, you should go with the same one I got.

Here's the link:

It says it's out of stock at the moment, though, unfortunately. It was the same way for me when I ordered, and the wait wasn't long, but I don't know what it would be this time. I was able to play using the component cable while I waited.

I just use the same optical cable for the VGA plug that I was using for the component plug. I didn't need a different optical cable.

I bought this one made by Intec and it works great:

What's the length of the Intec?

Also.. what's the length of the MS cable?

Anyone use the Madcatz that wallyworld sells?

The Intec cable is at least 6 feet or so long. If this is an issue, you could always add an extension to it.

Btw, I also use the Optical out it has built in, which works great as well. I mention this because apparently, there are 360 VGA cables out there that look like they have an optical connector, but actually don't. This one has optical out.

I should also add that the Intec cable is half the price of the Mickeysoft one.
