Questions about the Xbox Advanced AV Pack:

I've looked up online shops selling it, some places show picture of the Pack bundled with cables, and some without--but they're all the same price. Anyone owns this thing and can tell me if it comes with or without S-video and optical digital cables?

Also, there are three slots on the AV Pack, one should be for S-video, one for Dolby connect, what's the third one for?

I bought an official M$ HD (high definition) av pack.
The hookups are red, green and blue for video and red and white for analog audio.
If you want Dolby Digital there is a place on the av pack for an optical cable.

None of the cables are supplied with the HD av pack, you need to buy these seperate.
The only place I've ever seen S-video is on a third party cable made by FriendTech

Thanks a bunch, doubled_D. Now I know what to expect from the package. It's weird how some sites show the pack bundled with a bunch of wires.
