With the HD-DVD drive launching in a few days, where would be the best B&M store to get a VGA cable? The 360 can only upscale SD DVDs through VGA, not component.

They don't have to be official MS cables either. Just ones that work with the 360.

Thanks!

If you can find them used at GS/EB, they are around $14.

Ive looked to no avail. Do they make off brand cables?

I've never seen a 3rd party VGA cable. But I found an "open box" item at Best Buy--$17.

I don't know of any B&M, but if you decide to get one online: Play-Asia has third-party ones (that work great, I'm using these) for $13.70 shipped.

Ive seen those on ebay for similar prices. They work pretty good? The MS ones are $40 which is a bit to much for me.

Price recently dropped to $9.99 used. I picked one up the other day for $8.99 after edge card. Of course, you still have to find one in stock though.

My last order from Play Asia got here in exactly 1 week.

I've heard that the optical audio on the Pelican one does not work though.
