Xbox 360 SCART - Any quality non-official cables out there?

Post by shmup-o »

I can see some really good prices on official Microsoft SCART cables (Microsoft Xbox 360 Advanced SCART AV Cable B4W00002) for the Xbox 360 on UK's ebay site - the only problem is I can't get one shipped to the US for less than $35.

Can anyone vouch for one of the 3rd Party cables that are out there? I don't want to run into a crappy cable...

I don't know for sure but the Xbox output for RGB was not that good overall. Thats independent of the cables workmanship. If the 360 output is just as bad I fear its money not well spent. I might be talking crap though.

How is the 360 output for RGB?

Just dandy. I bought a generic cable labelled RGB and it looked great on my old Trinitron.

Still, I use component these days.

Probably still best to go official.

My brother uses a Logic3 SCART cable with RGB/S-Video+Stereo and a switch to select between them. It also has an optical audio output. It seems to work fine for RGB on a suitable TV.
