Xbox (original) Component Cable

I'm a little late to the party, but I finally picked up a tv that is capable of component connections. It still doesn't support progressive scan, but it does still have the component in at least. I liked the tv, but it was a tad blurry on gaming (using S-Video) although TV/DVD stuff looked superb. I was at EB to check to see if they were taking Wii Preorders yet and...holy shit, I found an official Nintendo Gamecube component cable in the used section (marked as a PS2 cable) for 7.99.

Hooked the bitch up, popped in Soul Calibur 2, and all the complaints I had against this tv are GONE. It's not a huge difference, but the the picture is sharper and the coloring is much better. So now I need to get one for the Xbox too.

Thing is, I can't find an offical Microsoft one. The S-Video "advanced" AV pack is great in build quality, much better than most of the third party stuff, but I can't find anywhere (but ebay) to get the MS HD pack. EB had some Madcatz generic, but it didn't have a digital audio connector on it, dammit.

I found this one at Walmart:

But I have no idea what kind of quality that would be.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could get the MS one, or would the generic be good enough? I'm afraid to go on ebay, they've got some knockoffs that look like the real thing, so it may be difficult to not get generic crap from there.

I use a 3rd party component cable for my Xbox and I don't notice any difference between it and my buddy's official cable.

Good find on the GC cable. Those go for anywhere between $40-$70 on eBay.

Cool, I might just pick up the generic one next time I'm at walmart. Hell, even if I don't like it I could always use the audio optical cable for something else.

I'll probably sell the Cube cable as the Wii gets closer, unless the Wii happens to use the same cable, which I doubt. Funny that I could sell the cable for more than I could sell the Gamecube.

I used a 3rd party component cable for PS2, but it doubles for Xbox as well. I had the hardest time trying to find the official PS2 component cable so I gave up and just picked up this one from Best Buy for $10.... It works fine, no problem here.
