Pros: At the time I bought it, costs about a third of the price of the 1st party Xbox cable. It upconverts your dvds to HD Quality. VGA is just a little more pleasing on my eyes than component video.
Cons: The plastic is quite cheap. The digital optical audio output on it slightly chipped early and cause the optical cable not to lock into place securely.
Other Thoughts: If you have no intention of using digital audio, this cable is worth every penny.
Bottomline: Save your money, buy this cable, and try to send a message to Microsoft that you'd rather not get ripped off.
Quite Medium Quality

Pros: - Does the job.
- Didn't came ruined.
- Good for playing most of the games.
Cons: - Didn't come in the original package, it was like, wrapped in some crappy plastic.
- The image keeps flickering on some games.
- Doesn't have SD/HD switch, that would be useful.
- Cable is made of a crappy rubber/plastic thing.
- Not golden connectors.
- Doesn't work for all the games.
- Didn't work at Street Fighter HD Remix :( (which i've got it specially to play this game)
Bottomline: If you don't have a good tv, or you need to take advantage of that old monitor you have, you should buy it, but watch for the lists that will tell you what games are compatible or not. Cause if you don't, you'll be disapointed.

Pros: - pretty decent build quality.
- everything works flawlessly.
- all the cables fit snugly and comfortably where they belong on the xbox 360 or my monitor.
Cons: - you have to get a audio splitter thing to plug into your speakers unless you have one that can take audio in from 2 sources.
- the sound cables are not too long so if your monitor is far away from your cable you might need an extension.
Other Thoughts: -Great product and cheap compared to what i can find at my local stores.
Bottomline: Good product that would of costed me at least twice as much if i decided to buy it in a local store even discounted.
Perfect

Pros: + It really works and it's very cheap
+ Doesn't catch any interference even at very high resolutions
+ With recent dashboard updates it handles my 1680*1050 monitor perfectly. Picture is flawless
Cons: None. Honestly.
Other Thoughts: 500 chars about a cable, please kill me somebody. Oh, hom much more? I wanna a twitter-like char counter.
Bottomline: If you want to play on your PC monitor, go and buy it. I plugged audio into my PC's line in and Xbox in VGA. (While PC is in DVI), and i can switch between those with one press of a button.
