I've had a ps2 for a long time and just recently got an xbox. Where can I find a optical / coaxial cable to output the digital sound? does it plug in the back of the xbox? also, what about s-video cables? where are the cheapest places to get this stuff?

FYI, for ps2, you just use any cheap third party s-video cable that was made for ps2 and then for the sound, you can hook up any optical cable to the back of the ps2.

You have to get either the Advanced or HD AV Pack to get DD sound or s-video. The audio uses a standard Toslink optical cable.
