I'm currently using the component cables with an optical cable but want to upscale my dvd's. I understand that you can do this with a VGA cable. My tv will support it, but I'm wondering if I should go generic (monoprice.com or ebay approx. $12-$22) or go official. Any deal on an official one or experience with a generic one? If I can spend less than $25 I'd be happy. Thanks!

I used both and the picture quality is almost identical. The cheap version did look and feel cheapest though so yeah.

Not a deal per se, but EBStop has the Official MS VGA Cables used in store. This is of course YMMV per local availability.
Here's the direct link to EBGames page for it:

Once you land on the page, use the store locator to *maybe* find one in your area.
Both me and my brother got ours from EBStop.
I know Target has also been stocking the Psyclone VGA cable for around $17, but the quality supposedly isn't that good.

Even if you find one with the locator, call first. I've 'found' two locally at different stores and when I went to get them, they were mislabeled Components.

+1 Exact same thing happened to me. One store out of the 10 or so on my way home from work had one listed on the site, but it was the component cable.
Finally got one from a seller on here when I was looking for one. Also, check out Toys R Us. I thought I saw one in a clearance bin at the one near me when I stopped in yesterday to pick up some Blu-Rays. I'll stop and check for you once I get off work, as I am heading that way for something else.
