The PS2 and the PS3 have the same type video output, so if you get or have the PS2 component video cable, it will work with the PS3. Also, the cables labled as for the PS2 seem to be cheaper.
I waited a month fot this item to be in stock, until some guy at Game Stop told me this. I had the PS2's component video cable, so I just connected it to the PS3 and I got my HD. A guy in wal mart also told me that the XBOX 360's cable would work, but this is unverified.
Ignore the stars I assinged, the site won't let you post if you don't rate, and I just wanted to get this info out there.

Just the pack I was looking for with an OK price.Jan 24, 2007

Yes you can get cheaper HD on the PS3 with optical audio, but I didn't feel like running all over town for the 1/4-the-price component + stereo cable and then hunting for a decent length optical toslink cable so I got this instead. It's on the pricey side as you'd expect from Monster but the connectors are nice machined pieces instead of unreliable rolled sheet metal. They wont break the connector board off the back of your TV or AV receiver when you try to plug them in or remove them.
It's also quite long (ladies...) and having both cables the same length means you wont be stuck with unsightly coiled wires in the ten foot span between the shiny new game console on your mantle and your home theatre on the other side of the room.
I feel it's a decent buy because other stores can gouge you for cables (alliteratively named electronics stores, I'm looking in your direction!!) and the combo pack isn't really much more expensive than individual ps2/ps3 component and toslink cables. If you can find them 10 feet long.
Lost an overall star for the high price and my personal shame at buying this brand.
Lost fun-ness stars because well... it's just not that fun.

 Great cables for PS2Dec 31, 2010
By Moonwalker
They don't say it anywhere on the packaging or on this page, but these cables are great for the PS2. The connection ports for the component video cables are identical on the PS2 and PS3.
I was just forced to replace my PS3 with the new slim model (which dropped PlayStation 2 backward compatibility) so I bought a new PS2 and got these cables to go with it. The component cables work excellently, if not a little too good since they make it that much easier to see the limitations in the PS2's graphics (ah how spoiled I've become by HD graphics in games)... but I'm confident these are among the best cables to use with the PS2 console. The package also comes with a separate digital audio cable that plugs into the PS2's optical audio port. Although PS2 games don't really take advantage of it, I was at least able to connect it to my receiver to get the ProLogic audio output and it sounded great.
I was very pleased by the look of the cables as well, they're modern looking and don't have the standard analog audio cables attached that would otherwise just tangle unplugged.
If you're looking to get the best possible video and audio out of your PS2, these cables are a great option. Although HDMI is a far superior connection for the PS3, PlayStation 3 users who are unable to connect through HDMI would probably find these to be a solid choice as well.

great value if you need component video for PS3Dec 05, 2010
By Joshua K Kim
I have a really old HDTV that doesn't have HDMI inputs. It only has component and DVI. So when I finally bought my PS3 in late 2010, I needed component video cables for it. This package actually contains 2 separate cables. The component video cable and the optical digital cable are not attached to each other in any way. Which is a good thing! Considering you get both of these cables at such a low price, it's a good value if you're stuck with using component video. These are genuine Monster brand cables, so the build quality is solid.

Unbiased Monster reviewAug 10, 2007
By Ivanov Artyom
Bought this set at bargain price from one of the Amazon's merchants! It was used and price of it was of 1/3 of the list price.
High quality cables, I especially liked the component one: 3 meter cable with good shielding, it's as thick as some power cables, multi-AV easily fits the PS3, RCAs are made of thick metal and sit tight on component inputs. It takes a little time to connect them, you just have to rotate them carefully. So I don't understand all this whining about ubertight Monster cables! Come on people! Use your brains not only for writing dumb reviews!
Summary: Good but expensive set for the owners of old projectors and TVs without HDMI input. Please note that you can't get analog sound with this set. Only digital sound through optical cable! Receiver with optical input is a must!
