Playstation 3 Monster GameLink Kit
The PLAYSTATION 3 is more than a game console, it’s a state-of-the-art entertainment platform for experiencing high-definition games and Blu-ray Disc movies. But for all your PS3’s HD action, you need the right connection. The one true gamers prefer when HDMI isn’t an option: Monster GameLink Component Video and Fiber Optic Digital Audio. It’s the all-in-one solution for HD gaming in 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.

Customer Review: 1080i is great but not from monster!
you can find many places on the net that sell high quality component cables that perform as well and better than monster no need waste your money on this marketing hype, even the Sony brand is cheaper and performs very well…. do some research when getting into home theater and electronics!! its easy and you’ll be glad your not getting swindled!!
Customer Review: Unbiased Monster review
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!

Customer Review: Great game, shame for PS3.
I’d have given this game more stars if the graphics had been better. The game itself is great, I’ve played it on the Xbox360 and my PC. Trouble is, given the power the PS3 has, the game lets it down. Whether the PS3 lacks power or whether it was lazy programming the game just does not run as smoothly as it does on a PC (Pentium D 915 with 8800GT even 8600GT is smooth) or the Xbox360. There seems to be no anti-aliasing which leaves jaggies everywhere. A shame for such a fine game (it’s a game that can really make you jump at times). It looks so low resolution. However, don’t let that put you off if you only have a PS3, it’s a fine game. Tough in places, soft in others. The story is interesting and the AI is rather good. Enemies will try to outflank you or flush you out with grenades. If you show signs of advancing they will retreat to cover and peek out to take a shot or two at you. Graphics and areas are a bit samey but it’s the scares that work on me, truly creepy. Oh! Apparently there’s an extra level and an extra weapon in this version, I look forward to that.
Customer Review: your in 4 a scare…
If you want a game that will have your heart pounding and atmosphere, this is it. The visuals are sharp and detailed, and it definitely creates tension. You will be drawn into the encounters and visions, and will have you wanting to know more as the story enfolds. The enemy AL are intelligent and difficult. I dont think you will be playing it continually compared to a game like uncharted or COD4, but if your in the mood for tension and a spooky atmosphere, you should play this. Definitely one of the current best ps3‘>ps3 shooters. Don’t play it on your own, mind. graphics 9/10 online 6/10 gameplay 9/10 lifespan 7/10
