Do you currently have a 5.1 surround sound system? If so what are the inputs you have on it?
On the new component cables instead of the yellow connector you have red/green/blue ones for video signal and red/white audio ones - the original xbox component cable also had an optical out which allowed you to connect to an AV amp... as did the Monster Cable and some others ... the IXOS and other brands only have red/white audio which is analogue and although will connect to you AV amp wont give you true digital DTS and 5.1 surround sound...

IMO of course the ebay style ones usually branded "BOX" are dire... some get lucky but I've used them in the past and they're not the best... the amazon one is fine but has no optical out for your AV amp as far as I can see... so no 51/DTS and its twice the price if the IXOS one which is technically the same... If your hooking straight up to the TV go with the IXOS, AV amp go for ether the Psyclone in the sticky list or hunt out a genuine M$ item from ebay in the USA.... I've bough loads from the US and if you ask nicely before the auction ends people generally will ship anywhere.
