I bought a PS2 last week and paid for the InterAct S-Video Cable. Let it be known that the cable ruined my PS2's ability to play back DVDs. Do not buy anything for you PS2 that is not made by Sony. I talked to a Sony representative today and they said using any other cable will VOID the warranty on the PS2. Luckily I was able to return my Playstation 2 to the store that I bought it from...you might not be so lucky.
