I've heard that the monster cables can be finicky and not work well with even the slightest movements around your xbox but the advanced pack from microsoft has like that extra connection in there and probably isn't shielded as well as the monster one. Which will offer the best clarity and quality? Remember the monster cables cost like 45 bucks and the microsoft ones only like 20 dollars. Which would you get?

Edit: Added interact S-video in there, it's only 10 bucks. So which will it be???

I just bought an Xbox this week.. the next day I went out and bought the MS Advanced pack... I was surprised to actually find that at best buy since all they advertise is the monster cable version... what shocked me even more is the salesman told me DO NOT buy the monster cable version because a.) It's a ripoff price wise and b.) it requires a special cable to get the same audio features that the MS version has built in.
Spend the $20 on the MS version... it made a huge difference for me over the stock composite cables.

MS should have packaged the advanced kit with the system though since it has both svideo and composite video...

Buy the MS one. I might be a ferengi, but i couldn't justify buying cables that are 2.5x the price of the stock MS cables, with arguable results.
